Embodiment in multimodal large language models Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated an extraordinary capacity to bridge textual and visual inputs. Nonetheless, MLLMs still fac…

So I know in most biomedical research programs where labs receive NIH funding there is a requirement on Responsible Conduct of Research.

Any such requirement in computer science? Especially #NeuroAI labs? Because it feels like some of you and your students could use at least a refresher.

bionic-vision.org | Research Spotlights | Jan Antolik Prof. Jan Antolik’s path into computational neuroscience began in artificial intelligence, at a time when the field was far from its current prominence. What started as a detour to better understand…

From #AI to #CompNeuro to #BionicVision:

“If we wish to intervene in the brain, it is not enough to know what computations we wish to impact...”

Research Engineer, NeuroAI Research Engineer, NeuroAI

My lab is hiring a software engineer to support our #NeuroAI research: careers.epfl.ch/job/Lausanne.... Please consider applying if you want to build out the infrastructure enabling models of the human brain & mind (e.g., www.Brain-Score.org). We will start screening applications this week 🧠🤖

Talk recordings from our CoSyNe 2026 workshop on Agent-based Models in Neuroscience are now online!

Playlist: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

RL agents and theory, interoception, biomechanical models connectome-constrained models, and more.

A great entry into the proposals available for physiologically plausible gradient descent!

I think the way they use dendrite targeting inhibition in this model is particularly elegant.

Time to start testing these ideas folks!!!

Next steps for students and Teaching Assistants

Thank you to everyone who applied to Neuromatch & Climatematch Academy as a student or as a Teaching Assistant. The road ahead is packed with exciting milestones and we're thrilled you're on it with us!

📬 Application decisions will be sent by email in mid-April.

#CompNeuro #DeepLearning #NeuroAI

Indeed, good commentary as Jascha @achterbrain.bsky.social pointed out #NeuroAI
(and see the original paper in Jascha's thread)

Research insights from our team at #MindBrainBody 2026 in Berlin 🧠✨

Master’s students from our Interactive & Cognitive Systems Group presented work on VR, neuroscience & affective computing, from GAN perception to EEG-based proxemics.
Great work 👏

Kempner Researchers Harness Generative AI to Reveal What Neurons "Want" - Kempner Institute How can scientists figure out what visual information a neuron really responds to? For decades, neuroscientists have tried to answer this question by showing animals pictures — of faces, trees, […]

🧠What do neurons “want”?✨

Kempner researchers @binxuwang.bsky.social and Carlos Ponce have developed a way for neurons to train AI image models to match their “preferences.”
