Animals can learn to use all kinds of brain-computer interfaces, from controlling single neurons to large populations of neurons in motor ctx. How do they do this? Thrilled to be finally sharing our research on this question, now up on biorxiv! 🧵
Congrats to Prof Andrew Saxe (@SaxeLab), joint SWC/@GatsbyUCL PI, and collaborators at @unicomplutense @Wellesley & Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, on their @HFSP grant covering research on the emergence of collective intelligence. 🎉 Read more sainsburywellcome.org/web/research-n…
In-context learning (ICL) circuits emerge in a phase change... Excited for our new work "What needs to go right for an induction head (IH)?" We present "clamping", a method to causally intervene on dynamics, and use it to shed light on IH diversity + formation. Read on 🔎⏬
Excited to announce the 2nd Analytical Connectionism summer school! How can we mathematically understand neural network models of higher level cognition? Where: @FlatironCCN, New York When: Aug 12-23, 2024 Info: events.simonsfoundation.org/event/e070287e… Apply by May 17, travel awards available!
I’m really excited to see the NeuralPlayground team has finally put out a preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…! My students in @raillabwits and @PrimeLabWits have already been making use of the library (github.com/SainsburyWellc…) and feeling the impact both for teaching and research.

New preprint! Transformers need multiple circuit mechanisms to improve simultaneously to reduce the loss. Because of this, hypotheses about circuit mechanisms can be tested by clamping some during learning and watching the loss dynamics. A toy model illustrates this ⬇️

Are you interested in about mean-field approaches for feature-dependent networks? Want to know how connectivity structure impacts the response to optogenetic perturbations? Come to our posters this afternoon @CosyneMeeting
Come to our poster II-068 today to see our latest progress on meta-learning families of plasticity rules in spiking networks, work with @pramesh95 @ppjgpncalves @jakhmack and @TPVogels
I'll be presenting work with @stefesseM & @SaxeLab this evening at @CosyneMeeting in Lisbon tonight! Come and let's chat about compositional generalisation/curriculum learning [1-076] Analytical study of learning dynamics in compositional tasks in the teacher-student setup
We were delighted to host the first ever @BritishNeuro careers and talent recruitment fair last Thursday. Many thanks to the speakers, students, and participating organisations for their time and the energy they brought to the day!
