Another step toward a foundation model of the mouse brain: "Neural Encoding and Decoding at Scale (NEDS)"

Trained on neural and behavioral data from 70+ mice, NEDS achieves state-of-the-art prediction of behavior (decoding) and neural responses (encoding) on held-out animals. 🐀

Ported over from X!

What will a foundation model for the brain look like? 🧠

We argue that it must be able to solve a diverse set of tasks across multiple brain regions and animals.

Check out our NeurIPS paper which introduces a multi-region, multi-animal, multi-task model arxiv.org/abs/2407.14668

Ok, so I wanted to try my hand at building a starter pack too :-). This pack includes developers of tools and methods for electrophysiology (focused on extracellular recordings). Please let me know if I missed anyone! Also, we need more people from X to switch to fill this out!
