I'm excited to share my first 🦋-print with our latest work — "Data Heterogeneity Limits the Scaling Effect of Pretraining in Neural Data Transformers", where we examined the effect of scaling up pretraining data in neural foundation models carefully.🧐 (1/9)

Data Heterogeneity Limits the Scaling Effect of Pretraining Neural Data Transformers
A key challenge in analyzing neuroscience datasets is the profound variability they exhibit across sessions, animals, and data modalities--i.e., heterogeneity. Several recent studies have demonstrated...

New 716 hour EMG dataset just dropped ✨ ai.meta.com/blog/open-so...
Advancing Neuromotor Interfaces by Open Sourcing Surface Electromyography (sEMG) Datasets for Pose Estimation and Surface Typing
We’re releasing emg2qwerty and emg2pose—two large datasets and benchmarks for sEMG-based typing and pose estimation, as part of the NeurIPS 2024 Datasets and Benchmarks track.
