Apply here: simonsfoundation.formstack.com/forms/26_jun...
Organizers: Mitya Chklovskii, Agnish Kumar Behera, Philip Kidd, and Pierre-Etienne Fiquet
Participants will:
• Present 20-minute research talks
• Lead in-depth blackboard tutorials
• Engage in small-group discussions
• Connect with a community of peers
Applications are open for the Junior Theoretical Neuroscientists Workshop which will take place July 21-24, 2026 at the Center for Computational Neuroscience, @flatironinstitute.org
Travel, lodging, and meals will be covered for accepted participants.
Application deadline: April 15, 2026
Participants in the workshop will give black board tutorials on the mathematical methods underlying their research, which will most likely lead to discussions of related philosophical questions
Co-organized with @chklovskii.bsky.social, Agnish Kumar Behera, and Philip Kidd

Cosyne invited me to give a long tutorial (4 hours!) on methods to quantify differences high-d neural recordings across animals, brain regions, deep neural nets, etc.
The recording is up on youtube. I hope it inspires more research on this fundamental topic!

What is the probability of an image? What do the highest and lowest probability images look like? Do natural images lie on a low-dimensional manifold?
In a new preprint with Zahra Kadkhodaie and @eerosim.bsky.social, we develop a novel energy-based model in order to answer these questions: 🧵
