1/ Check out our new modeling paper on predictive learning in the hippocampus! 🧠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... A central idea in neuroscience is that the brain makes sense of the world by learning to predict its environment 🧠➡️🌍.

A little overdue but happy to announce that I 1) Got my PhD 🎓 2) Started a postdoc and CNS fellowship with Blake Richards and Guillaume Lajoie (@glajoie.bsky.social @tyrellturing.bsky.social) Come find me out in @Mila_Quebec, Montreal working on new things neuroAI!

What are the brain’s “real” tuning curves? Our new preprint "SIMPL: Scalable and hassle-free optimisation of neural representations from behaviour” argues that existing techniques for latent variable discovery are lacking. We suggest a much simpl-er way to do things. 1/21🧵

Epic data and representational analysis work by @jquinnlee.bsky.social on CA1, now out in Neuron! Highly recommend people taking a look (+ amazing visuals, these flow diagrams are fascinating to look at!)

Psyched that my postdoc work w @markbrandonlab.bsky.social + @atkeinath.bsky.social is now in Neuron! TL/DR: remapping in CA1 has a representational structure that is reliable across brains, and we use this representation to test models of cognitive maps. #NeuroSky #NeuroAI 🧪🧠 tinyurl.com/4juhmad8

Identifying representational structure in CA1 to benchmark theoretical models of cognitive mapping
Decades of theoretical and empirical work have suggested the hippocampus instantiates some form of a cognitive map. Yet, tests of competing theories h…
