Recurrent neural networks are powerful tools for modeling cognitive behavior, but currently they 1) lack biological details and 2) are hard to interpret In this preprint, we address these problems by training and analyzing modular RNNs with cell types to perform the WCST task.

"Resilient or susceptible?  Stressed or not stressed?  That's the question, and we can answer with high accuracy. Honored to share this massive work with my incredible co-author Frances Xia, Mazen Kheirbek, and Stefano Fusi . Check it out here! 👇🧵biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Standard neural coding approaches (think GLM) model how firing rates depend on stimuli. But how do we capture the widely observed phenomenon that the variability of spike trains is also stimulus-dependent? Our new #NeurIPS2023 paper has the solution: tiny.cc/npnr 1/10

How do we integrate brain-wide neural dynamics, connectomes, and transcriptomes into insightful models of brain function? Come and get inspired by an impressive lineup of speakers in our workshop at CosyneMeeting 2024: sites.google.com/view/brainwide…

We have released the recordings for our (Aldo Battista Tatiana Engel) 2024 CosyneMeeting workshop on brain-wide modeling (large scale recordings and multi-omics)! Check them out here: sites.google.com/view/brainwide…

New paper, listing 43 ways ML evaluations can be misleading or actively deceptive. Following the good critics of psychological science we call these "questionable research practices" (QRPs). (The working title was "How To Lie In Machine Learning")

Our new study on the role of Purkinje Cells in learning reinforcement-based visuomotor associations is out! Thanks to Anna Ipata, Stefano Fusi , Chris I. De Zeeuw, Naveen Sendhilnathan , and Michael E. Goldberg! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 👇🧵...

What is the neural code and statistical structure of neural states characterizing stress? Our new work out in Nature answers these questions and more. Thanks to my amazing co-first Frances Xia, and Stefano Fusi and Mazen Kheirbek for invaluable guidance🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to share our latest preprint with Camillo Padoa Schioppa and xjwanglab! We present a biologically plausible framework showing how neural circuits compute & compare value to drive flexible economic decision making. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
