Introducing CorText: a framework that fuses brain data directly into a large language model, allowing for interactive neural readout using natural language. tl;dr: you can now chat with a brain scan 🧠💬 1/n

We’re excited to announce DiG-bench, a new benchmark for discovery! Over the last few weeks we’ve been testing frontier AI models on our novel discovery games and seeing how they score. Each game is a text-based environment, so they probe discovery capabilities in the natural domain of language models, rather than requiring additional, potentially confounding, visual understanding. TL;DR frontier models have improved a lot over the last few months. But they are still stumped by some surprisingly simple problems, even in their native text domain.

To learn how brains compute, we need to experimentally adjudicate among competing computational hypotheses. How do we do this in the age of complex neural network models? New review paper: “Making models disagree to learn how brains compute” with @TalGolanNeuro, @SchuettHeiko

How can we design experiments that make models disagree? One section of our new @NatRevNeurosci Review with @KriegeskorteLab and @SchuettHeiko examines studies that used stimulus sets designed to elicit distinct predictions from competing models. Full text link at the end. 1/14

We're excited to announce we're starting a Journal Club. And our first meeting is scheduled for tomorrow! @__init_self will present her work, CorText: Brain-Language Fusion Enables Interactive Neural Readout and In-Silico Experimentation Tomorrow at 10:15am ET, join Discord!

Looking for robust AI vision? Then this NeuroAI paper may be for you 👇 Open access, open code, open weights.

Excited about our new preprint: “The illusory simplicity of the feedforward pass: evidence for the dynamical nature of stimulus encoding along the primate ventral stream” arxiv.org/abs/2604.12825 Work with Sushrut Thorat, Anna Mitola, Paolo Papale, Peter König & Tim Kietzmann
