Can we achieve nonlinear multimodal neural fusion while also enabling real-time recursive decoding for #BCI? In our third paper at #NeurIPS2025, we present MRINE, which does exactly that — improving decoding even for modalities w/ distinct timescales & distributions. 👏 Eray Erturk 🧵 Paper Code ⬇️

At what scale should spatial information be encoded toward future foundation models of intracranial brain activity? In our second paper at #NeurIPS2025, we present BaRISTA ☕ — a self-supervised multi-subject model that enables flexible spatial encoding & boosts downstream decoding. 🧵 Paper Code ⬇️

🎉 New in #NeurIPS2025, we present “Cross-Modal Representational Knowledge Distillation for Enhanced Spike-Informed LFP Modeling”. We show that high-fidelity spike transformer models can teach LFP models to substantially enhance LFP decoding. #BCI 👏 Eray Erturk 🧵 Paper, Code ⬇️

🎉 New in #ICML2025, we develop SBIND for modeling neural imaging modalities and disentangling their behaviorally relevant dynamics. SBIND learns local and global spatiotemporal patterns in raw widefield calcium and functional ultrasound neural images. 👏M Hoseini 🧵Paper, Code⬇️

🎉 New in #ICLR2025, we present BRAID for input-driven nonlinear dynamical modeling of neural-behavioral data. BRAID disentangles the intrinsic dynamics shared between modalities from input dynamics and modality-specific dynamics. 👏 Parsa Vahidi & Omid Sani @iclr-conf.bsky.social 🧵, Paper & Code ⬇️

New in our #ICLR2025 spotlight ✨, we introduce PGPCA, a Probabilistic Geometric method that enables modeling and dimensionality reduction for data distributed around nonlinear manifolds. We also show PGPCA’s application to brain data. 👏 Han-Lin Hsieh @iclr-conf.bsky.social Paper, Code, 🧵⬇️

Can we efficiently learn models of collective dynamics in multimodal discrete-continuous time-series, e.g., spike-LFP? We develop a multimodal subspace identification method to do so & enable causal multimodal decoding! 👏P Ahmadipour! 📜J Neural Eng Paper: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... Code+🧵⬇️

New in #NeurIPS2024, we develop PGLDM, an analytical subspace identification method to jointly model two generalized-linear time-series & dissociate their shared vs private dynamics. Poster Session 5 East #3808, Fri Dec 13 11am by Lucine Oganesian 👏 📜Paper: openreview.net/pdf?id=DupvY... Code &🧵⬇️
