Releasing a NIfTI Quick Look tool compatible with macOS 15+. This is necessary since Apple significantly changed those frameworks and broke the (legendary?) Gary Zhang's old NIfTI plugin.

To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised!
🧵Thread on our new preprint with @r3rt0.bsky.social , doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Advancing neural decoding with deep learning - Nature Computational Science
A recent study introduces a neural code conversion method that aligns brain activity across individuals without shared stimuli, using deep neural network-derived features to match stimulus content.

Just finished my poster for OHBM. The results blow the discussion about V2 & V3 layout wide open. We find hemispheric asymmetry!
Fantastic work by my student Ruby Barahona, collaboration with the also fantastic @felenitaribeiro.bsky.social and Noah Benson.

What shapes the topography of high-level visual cortex?
Excited to share a new pre-print addressing this question with connectivity-constrained interactive topographic networks, titled "Retinotopic scaffolding of high-level vision", w/ Marlene Behrmann & David Plaut.

If you have not read the story of how Neuromatch came to be, it really is inspiring. We have so many incredible founders and contributors to thank. ❤️
Can't believe it's been five years!

This time five years ago, @kordinglab.bsky.social asked for help at an online conference.
I did a couple of small things for the @neuromatch.bsky.social first conference. I'm amazed by how it grew.

Eva Dyer and I wrote an opinion piece for @thetransmitter.bsky.social on why neuroscience needs to embrace complexity and accept the "bitter lesson" by using a data-driven regime at scale.
With commentary from several wonderful researchers!

How can we make progress in developing a general model of neural computation rather than a series of disjointed models tied to specific experimental circumstances, ask Eva Dyer and @tyrellturing.bsky.social in the latest entry in our NeuroAI series.

Accepting “bitter lesson” and embracing brain’s complexity
To gain insight into complex neural data, we must move toward a data-driven regime, employing large models trained on vast amounts of data. Experts weigh in.

People talk a lot about objects, but what about the softness of a cushion, the greenness of an emerald, or the viscosity of oil? In our work just published @pnas.org, we shed light on how we make sense of the hundreds of materials around us.

Very interesting read on the idea of connectomics - to what extent can a static, structural map help us understand function? How limiting is its lack of connection weights?
But still, history suggests structure matters. The Human Genome Project didn’t reveal everything about the cell, but it led to surprising tech that slowly transformed medicine.
A brain map could do the same for neuroscience.
