Excited that our paper made the cover of @NatureNeuro! We developed DPAD, an AI framework for dynamical modeling of neural-behavioral data and dissociating behaviorally relevant neural dynamics. 📜nature.com/articles/s4159… 💻github.com/ShanechiLab/DP… 👏@omidsani

Honored to give the opening plenary at IEEE EMBC 2026 conference in Toronto @IEEEembs. We are building the intelligence layer for neurotechnology and BCIs. Human brain foundation models that decode at scale and generalize across individuals, modalities, and brain states.

🎉 New at #ICML2026, we present WiCAT for cross-subject modeling of widefield calcium imaging, as a key step toward its foundation modeling. WiCAT learns shared brain-wide representations & enables zero-shot behavior decoding. 👏@m_hoseini99 @erayerturkee @iiwavas Paper, Code⬇️

Excited to lead the AI Core of the Raynor Cerebellum Project @RaynorProject. Our team is developing AI models to move neuromodulation for cerebellar disorders from trial-and-error toward intelligent neurotechnology. Grateful to collaborate with @yisongyue on this. Story⬇️

Can we achieve nonlinear multimodal neural fusion while also enabling real-time recursive decoding for #BCI? At #NeurIPS2025, we present MRINE, which does exactly that — improving decoding even for modalities w/ distinct timescales & distributions 👏@erayerturkee 🧵Paper Code⬇️
