Thrilled to see these two papers by Simon Mataigne, co-authored with P.-A. Absil published this month 🤩
They connect deep mathematical theory to practical algorithms on the Stiefel manifold and the approximation of the Riemannian barycenter 🌐

HerBrain, the first digital twin of the maternal brain, has been named one of TIME Magazine's Best Inventions of 2025! 👏
Led by @ninamiolane.bsky.social the HerBrain app illustrates how brain structures change across the pregnancy and postpartum periods, so a woman can predict her weekly shifts.

👁️🧠 New preprint: We demonstrate the first data-driven neural control framework for a visual cortical implant in a blind human!
TL;DR Deep learning lets us synthesize efficient stimulation patterns that reliably evoke percepts, outperforming conventional calibration.

Spatial learning circuitry fluctuates in step with estrous cycle in mice
Cyclic shifts in estradiol levels coincide with changes in dendritic spine density and the activity of place cells in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, a new study shows.
