MOJO has been accepted to #NeurIPS2026! 🎉 We use SSL + unlabelled data for better decoding, stronger few-shot transfer, and more interpretable embeddings with POYO and POSSM (SoTA decoders for neural spikes). Stay tuned for more results + torch_brain-based code! 👀

Excited that BrainWideBench is finally public! A huge team effort and one of the largest datasets and most comprehensive benchmarks for neural decoders. Glad to have contributed POSSM and to see it do well! Hope the community uses BWB to benchmark their models. 🐭🧠

In brain-computer interfacing, clever and adaptive decoders help brains learn complex tasks faster. These can impact the nature of solutions learned by the brain. Our new paper is one of the first attempts to study this effect. W/ @neuroamyo.bsky.social and team www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Assistive algorithms influence neural representations in motor brain-computer interfaces - Nature Communications

Assistive algorithms are widely used in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), but their effects on neural representations remain unclear. Here, the authors show that adaptive BCIs lead the brain to learn ...

What if spike-tokenising decoders could learn from unlabelled neural data? 🧠⚡ Introducing MOJO, a joint SSL+SL framework for POYO- & POSSM-style models. MOJO improves decoding & few-shot transfer and yields more interpretable unit embeddings across neural datasets & tasks. 1/🧵

A summary of MOJO, an SSL+SL framework for spike-tokenising neural decoders.

Incredibly proud of lab members and collaborators for having presented this work at #NeurIPS2025. As flexible sequence models are rapidly developed for neural data, this work demonstrates that they can be used online and substantially benefit from hybrid SSM architectures.

A tad late (announcements coming) but very happy to share the latest developments in my previous preprint! Previously, we show that neural representations for control of movement are largely distinct following supervised or reinforcement learning. The latter most closely matches NHP recordings.

Preprint Alert 🚀 Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) often assumes that agents know when other agents cooperate with them. But for humans, this isn’t always the case. For example, plains indigenous groups used to leave resources for others to use at effigies called Manitokan. 1/8
