Happy birthday to #neurologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852 - 1934), here in front of Purkinje and granule cells from a pigeon, based on one of his own drawings! 🧪🐡 #histsci Cajal &Golgi won the Nobel in 1906, “in recognition of their work on the structure of the nervous system”. He was as much of 🧵

I need hand-tracking in social VR for my research, but gestures just don't work well. I invented a solution. I call it #CyberFinger. We shipped first beta-dev units in late 2025. Now its 2026 and it's really satisfying to start to get community interest and feedback ... here's one of my favorites👇

A glimpse at what #NeuroAI brain models might enable: a topographic vision model predicts stimulation patterns that steer complex object recognition behavior in primates. This could be a key 'software' component for visual prosthetic hardware 🧠🤖🧪

Five enduring, in-lab VR results (w/ @stanfordvr.bsky.social): (1) presence depends on activity, (2) self-avatars shape behavior, (3) VR better for procedural than abstract learning,(4) body tracking is powerful but privacy-risky, (5) people underestimate VR distance. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A new Science study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow distinct rules. The results challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain learns and adapts behavior. scim.ag/3YQdUZK #SciencePerspective

Check out our new paper! Vision models often struggle with learning both transformation-invariant and -equivariant representations at the same time. @hafezghm.bsky.social shows that self-supervised prediction with proper inductive biases achieves both simultaneously. (1/4) #MLSky #NeuroAI

For understanding learning in neocortex 🧠, self-supervised learning 🤖 is interesting, but has several shortcomings. Seq-JEPA is a step in the right direction. It learns by predicting sensory outcomes from series of interactions. Cool things emerged! 👇with @shahabbakht.bsky.social #MLSky #NeuroAI
