Exciting!!! This is exactly the kind of question I think is incredibly interesting and timely right now. Really looking forward to seeing what comes out of this project. If you’re thinking about a PhD/postdoc in computational neuroscience/NeuroAI, definitely worth checking out!

Some incredibly exciting news that still feels a bit surreal: I am starting my research group @mpicybernetics.bsky.social! The best part? We are hiring at all levels! Curious about the science we plan to tackle, read along :) #NeuroSky

Somewhat late but thrilled to share that our paper on Algorithmic Primitives & Compositional Geometry of Reasoning in Language Models was accepted to ICML 2026. Huge thanks to incredible coauthors, esp @sflippl.bsky.social @eberleoliver.bsky.social @thomasmcgee.bsky.social. Camera ready coming soon.

Really enjoyed Goodfire’s neural geometry posts. A few thoughts. The current examples mostly focus on explicit variables, e.g., days of the week, and show how their geometry in activation space mirrors the geometry of the model’s outputs/behavior. (1/3)

New paper 🚨 #ICLR26 Most world models predict the future from a past trajectory. But neuroscience suggests that such inference can instead be made from temporally independent experiences. We built the Episodic Spatial World Model (ESWM), a model that does exactly this: Video abstract [1/2]

Excited to give a talk at #Cosyne2026 about my PhD work! We show that RNNs trained on visual search converge on brain-like solutions, producing primate-like behavior and neural representations. Happy to chat if you're at Cosyne! 📅 March 15, 2026 📍 Lisbon, Portugal www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In this piece for @thetransmitter.bsky.social, I argue that ecological neuroscience should leverage generative video and interactive models to simulate the world from animals' perspectives. The technological building blocks are almost here - we just need to align them for this application. 🧠🤖
