I’m delighted to show our work in Journal of Clinical Investigation, lead by Eduardo Fernández (Instituto de Bioingeniería), with Pieter Roelfsema NIN. For the first time, we implanted a Utah array in the VC of a blind volunteer for 6 months and investigated her visual percepts🧠🧵...1/ tinyurl.com/jciVC

Still amazed at how qualitatively different the response to music is at O2 (visual cortex) vs Fz (upper central prefrontal), here left vs right, listening to same song. We're talking time-frequency plot (SAM spectral amplitude modulation). Top is current moment, left is 3 Hz,

To help solve this big challenge, we unveil NEUmap: a fast, mostly automated approach that leverages spontaneous cortical activity and Dimensionality Reduction techniques to map phosphenes for high-channel-count implants—even without visual input or stable fixation. In monkeys

Mind blindness decoded: people who can't see with their "mind's eye" still activate their visual cortex, study finds unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/… #aphantasia, mental imagery

🧠 Meet LAMINR: Where neurons meet their match—finding common patterns that keep them excited 🔥💘 LAMINR learns & aligns invariance manifolds of sensory neurons to reveal shared properties. 🌟 #ICLR2025 Oral 📝 Paper: shorturl.at/08968 💻 Code: github.com/sinzlab/laminr

So excited to share our work got an oral at ICLR! Huge thanks to Mo Bashiri—your vision and drive made this possible; collaborating with you as co-first authors has been truly amazing. Also deeply grateful to @AntolikLab & sinzlab for their invaluable support and guidance!🚀

I got inspired by this and managed to reproduce the art style with my own EEG signals 😄🧠⚡️

Singular angle similarity measures the similarity of real, arbitrary matrices accounting for their 2D structure, outperforming standard methods in analyzing synthetic networks and neural activity patterns. Read the paper: go.aps.org/42HyMF2

Two opportunities to join the CNNC lab in Coimbra for #CompNeuro research! Apply until June!👇

Scientists developed a measure that captures and compares the 2D structure of real, arbitrary matrices, demonstrating how it can robustly assess similarities and differences in synthetic network connectivity data and experimental data of brain activity. go.aps.org/42HyMF2

Apparently some researchers thought it was significant that early high performance and later high performance were negatively correlated They didn't realize they were conditioning on a collider Nor did the editors at Science, who published their claims anyway Just incredible

I'm at AAAI-26 in Singapore! If you're around - let's meet up! On January 27th, I'll be presenting a poster at the NeuroAI Workshop: "Masked Autoencoders Learn Perception-Relevant Representations from Resting State Neural Data"

Excited to share that our research has been covered by EL PAÍS España A study led by Eduardo Fernández (Instituto de Bioingeniería) demonstrates that direct stimulation of the visual cortex can enable visual perception in a patient blind due to optic nerve injury. 📰elpais.com/ciencia/2026-0…
