So excited and honored to receive an ERC Starting Grant for the project BrainAlign!! BrainAlign will bring LLMs closer to human understanding by directly aligning them with the human brain.

Stay tuned for our findings, and multiple postdoc and PhD openings in the coming years!

So proud of this effort! Give RABBiT a try for your language fMRI data 🐰

Foundation models in cog neuro still have to prove their utility but the potential to bridge data across tasks, imaging modalities, and systems & cell neuro is really exciting.

The future is bright ☀️

🚨 Super excited to share our latest work:

RABBiT: a foundation model for speech- and language-evoked brain activity.** 🧠🎧
W/ @mtoneva1
One model enables:

✅ accurate zero-shot brain prediction
✅ efficient few-shot adaptation with only 5-10 mins of subject data
✅ convenient in silico neuroscience experiments
and it’s so lightweight that it enables real-time, in-browser inference (feel free to try for yourself!)

Here's the story. 🧵👇

Really eye-opening to survey NeuroAI work across both vision and language--many questions have been answered in one field but remain open in the other!

See 🦋 for a fun fact about the origin story..
1/5 Over a decade of comparing deep neural networks to the human brain—but what have we actually learned? Our new @TrendsCognSci Feature Review synthesizes a decade of brain–DNN comparisons, asking what they reveal about brain function across vision and language.

It was a lot of fun to write this piece! Makes me so excited for the symposium about The Modern Neuroscience Lab in the Age of AI at FENS in a little more than 2 weeks 🧠🤖

These models were not built to explain the brain. But treating them as model organisms that we can perturb and evolve will move us closer to truly understanding the brain’s mechanics, writes @mtoneva1.
