The original dynamic similarity analysis (DSA) developed by @neurostrow.bsky.social and Ila Fiete is a powerful method to compare trajectories of (nonlinear) neural dynamics between different datasets and models: arxiv.org/abs/2306.10168

Wanna compare dynamics across neural data, RNNs, or dynamical systems? We got a fast and furious method🏎️
The 1st preprint of my PhD 🥳 fast dynamical similarity analysis (fastDSA):

At #NeurIPS2025!
🎉 Excited to present Conditionally Linear Dynamical Systems (CLDS). We leverage the dependence of neural dynamics on task covariates to yield an interpretable, flexible model of dynamics.
Come meet and check it out!
📍: Poster #2209, Hall C,D,E on Thu Dec 4, 11 am–2 pm, PST.

Really proud of this project with @adamjeisen.bsky.social
- Jacobian estimation is a challenging and generic problem in dynamics, and I’m excited for all the future use cases of our method! See you at NeurIPS 🧠💻

How do brain areas control each other? 🧠🎛️
✨In our NeurIPS 2025 Spotlight paper, we introduce a data-driven framework to answer this question using deep learning, nonlinear control, and differential geometry.🧵⬇️

Controversial take: our ICLR reviews actually helped make our paper better
