My first journal paper is out in PLOS Computational Biology! 🎉 We do SBI, but not in parameter space. We perform it on interpretable feedback gains, making inference fast, interpretable, and degeneracy-aware. lnkd.in/eZC4CYXK #ComputationalNeuroscience #SBI @neuroenguliege.bsky.social

The figure illustrates the pipeline. The top panel is distributions in the DICs space. The middle panel is the signal input-output reconstruction. The bottom panel is the box plot distributions of conductances.

Training-Free Bayesian Filtering with Generative Emulators

Bayesian filtering is a well-known problem that aims to estimate plausible states of a dynamical system from observations. Among existing approaches to solve this problem, particle filters are theoret...

Very happy to share that our paper got a Spotlight at #ICML2026! 💡 This work explores two entirely distinct research directions, and we’d be excited to discuss it with anyone interested or curious! 📜 : arxiv.org/abs/2605.118... #AnalogAI #PersistentMemory #ML #UltraLowPower #Multistability

Project Glasswing from Anthropic and others shows that the AI era will not just happen on its own; we need to actively build the tools and institutions to make it safe and manageable.

Three researchers from our lab presented at #COSYNE2026 in Lisbon last week! Posters on calcium-based plasticity and on identifying neuromodulatory targets from spike recordings. Great discussions and some well-deserved sun. #Neuroscience #ComputationalNeuroscience

What if biological muscles could inspire a new control theory? Christian Fernandez & Alessio Franci are working on it, guided by Elena Petri (TU/e) 🧠⚙️ Neuromorphic hybrid systems — watch this space. #neuromorphic #controltheory

Neuromodulation moves entire clouds of conductances from one degenerate set to another. We make that shift visible and interpretable. See our poster on Saturday! #COSYNE2026 @neuroenguliege.bsky.social

In case it helps anyone: I just put 6+ million conductance-based neuron simulations (STG & DA models) on Zenodo. Took a few days of cluster time to generate. Spike trains with various sampling strategies and noise levels, ready to use. Code and information : shorturl.at/BAALO

Once you get past the first 5 minutes of me bumbling around clearly in need of media training, we settle into a nice groove talking about fitting mechanistic models, ML/AI for neuroscience, underconstrainedness vs. degeneracy, and its potential benefits for biology (plus some good chuckles).

We’ve heard a lot about deep nudes and sexual deepfakes made without consent. Yet for weeks now, social media platforms from Meta have been running ads for deepfake apps, available directly on the App Store. I’ve reported at least 5 of them in the past 2 weeks. How did this become normalized?

Excited to be at #COSYNE2026! 🧠 We’ll present a poster in #computational #neuroscience on population inference and #neuromodulation plausible targets investigation, extending our NeurIPS workshop work. The COSYNE 2026 abstract is available here: hdl.handle.net/2268/339005

The review process for COSYNE 2026 is now complete. We are pleased to inform you that your submission #11:

"Neuronal population inference reveals how neuromodulation reshapes conductance space"

has been accepted to COSYNE 2026 for a POSTER presentation. Congratulations!

Super interesting talk! Perceptions and actions shouldn’t be viewed as opposite or orthogonal concepts, but rather as two sides of the same coin under the Bayesian brain hypothesis.

Thanks for this talk @cpehlevan.bsky.social ! The call for a science of "AI for Science" and for caution when interpreting learned mechanisms in a purely data-driven context was particularly insightful.

Why can neurons with completely different ion channels fire identically? 🧠 Neuronal degeneracy isn't a bug - it's a feature. Come see how we reconstruct entire degenerate populations from spike times within an interpretable feedback framework. Poster @dataonbrainmind.bsky.social #NeurIPS2025 #DBM
