From spiking neuronal networks to interpretable dynamics: a diffusion-approximation framework
Modeling and interpreting the complex recurrent dynamics of neuronal spiking activity is essential to understanding how networks implement behavior and cognition. Nonlinear Hawkes process models can c...

Over 12,000 people peacefully protesting against the current Iranian regime have been killed in just one week. These are among the darkest days of 2026. Shame on every country that recognizes the Iranian regime as a legitimate government that murders its own people.
I came from Iran yesterday, by taking one of the last flights. The situation in Iran is unimaginable.
There are unofficial reports that over 2000 protestors have been killed by the regime in the span of two nights, while the internet is cut off. The world must see this and must do something! #iran

I left Iran in Jan 9th. I was there to visit my family. Meanwhile protests and strikes began.
I left the country with one of the few last flights before the digital blackout in Iran.
I hugged my family and said goodbye in the airport and never heard from them since then. There is zero connection.

happy that our article about mu & alpha rhythm waveform shape in development is now finally out in the open: doi.org/10.1162/jocn...
oscillation frequency changes across development (one of the most robust findings in the oscillation world). in this work, we also look at waveform shape changes.

Very excited about this new work from the omnipotent Owen, with me and Ashok Litwin-Kumar! Can we reconcile low- and high-dimensional activity in neural circuits by recognizing that these circuits ~multitask~?

Can we achieve nonlinear multimodal neural fusion while also enabling real-time recursive decoding for #BCI?
In our third paper at #NeurIPS2025, we present MRINE, which does exactly that — improving decoding even for modalities w/ distinct timescales & distributions.

How do we make sense of scientific literature that is growing explosively to the point where no-one could read all the relevant papers, and is contaminated with fraudulent and LLM-generated papers? I think that science isn't currently equipped to deal with this, and we need to. #science #metascience
