Really excited to share this Opinion piece we've been working on with fellow head-direction cell geeks @apeyrache.bsky.social @desdemonafricker.bsky.social and (bsky-less?) Andrea Burgalossi! While head-direction cells pop up in many cortical regions, we think that one of them is quite unique (1/8)
The postsubiculum as a head-direction cortex
The organisation of thalamocortical networks follows a conserved structure. Traditionally, these are divided into primary sensory systems that receive…

I love open science! Not only is this absolutely brilliant work on how time and events are encoded in LEC, it is also a crazy rich dataset and it's just available to everyone! Thank you so much for sharing the recordings, I can't wait to play around with it!

Very proud to have presented our work on modeling cognitive maps and episodic memory at the GEM conference today! @for2812.bsky.social

Check out our preprint to learn more about how you can bring together semantic and spatial information with our grid-cell-VSA model arxiv.org/abs/2503.08608

Very excited to get the opportunity to give a talk at GEM2025 on how we combine spatial and semantic information to form episodic memories. See you in beautiful Bochum :)
Registration for GEM 2025 closes on 30.04.25.
Bochum has a reputation for being grey and dull (due to the coal and steel industry), but in fact it is far from it. Currently the cherry blossoms are in bloom and by June greenery will abound.

Very proud to announce the first paper for my PhD:
Grid Cell-Inspired Vector Algebra: Bridging the Brain's Navigation System with Symbolic Reasoning. Unifying spatial and symbolic computation!

Happy to be in Heidelberg next week, presenting this at NICE.

A Grid Cell-Inspired Structured Vector Algebra for Cognitive Maps
The entorhinal-hippocampal formation is the mammalian brain's navigation system, encoding both physical and abstract spaces via grid cells. This system is well-studied in neuroscience, and its efficie...

Curious about mapping neuromodulators (dopamine, serotonin, etc.) to hypernetworks. The two concepts seem very related (synaptic modulations via neuromodulators and task dependent weight adaptation in hypernetworks). Any existing work in that area? Would love pointers to papers exploring #ml #neuro

I was curious about the wonky AI overview results being delivered by Google search, so I looked at this a bit further.

Re-reading classic papers from the 1940s, I have to say... introductions were different back then

Some of my thoughts on OpenAI's o3 and the ARC-AGI benchmark

Did OpenAI Just Solve Abstract Reasoning?
OpenAI’s o3 model aces the "Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus" — but what does it mean?
