OmniMouse: Scaling properties of multi-modal, multi-task Brain Models on 150B Neural Tokens
Konstantin F. Willeke, Polina Turishcheva, Alex Gilbert +18
Scaling data and artificial neural networks has transformed AI, driving breakthroughs in language and vision. Whether similar principles apply to modeling brain activity remains un…
Letting the neural code speak: Automated characterization of monkey visual neurons through human language
Vedang Lad, Katrin Franke, Tamar Rott Shaham +4
Understanding what individual neurons encode is a core question in neuroscience. In primary visual cortex (V1), mathematical models (e.g., Gabor functions) capture neural selectivi…
Only Brains Align with Brains: Cross-Region Alignment Patterns Expose Limits of Normative Models
Larissa Höfling, Matthias Tangemann, Lotta Piefke +3
Neuroscientists and computer vision researchers use model-brain alignment benchmarks to compare artificial and biological vision systems. These benchmarks rank models according to…
TRACE: Contrastive learning for multi-trial time-series data in neuroscience
Lisa Schmors, Dominic Gonschorek, Jan Niklas Böhm +9
Modern neural recording techniques such as two-photon imaging or Neuropixel probes allow to acquire vast time-series datasets with responses of hundreds or thousands of neurons. Co…
