We’d love your feedback on BERG (github.com/gifale95/BERG): pretrained encoding models + a Python toolkit for generating in silico neural responses for in silico experimentation. Your input will make BERG more useful and reliable!

CNeuroMod is now on substack, and our first post highlights a new study showing that a tiny 2M-parameter audio model can be meaningfully fine-tuned on an individual brain with benefits for downstream AI tasks. open.substack.com/pub/cneuromo...
When an audio AI Model Play 🧠 Dress-Up
This really is about fine-tuning an audio artificial network to align representations with human brain data, and seeing what happened next

Our very own Isil Bilgin will share some updates on her work with Leila Wehbe and @lune-bellec.bsky.social to create brain-aligned language models by fine-tuning LLAMA-7B to produce brain-like embeddings.
On November 26th noon ET, @complexbrains.bsky.social will present her talk titled " Aligning Brains and Language Models: Toward a NeuroAI Framework for Brain-Grounded Language Understanding". The project combined @cneuromod.ca dataset 🧠🧑🤝🧑 and AI 🤖.

Brain–AI alignment can reveal exciting similarities in representations.
Our Super Mario Bros. experiment demonstrates an important caveat: alignment can be very brittle. 1/🧵

In 2019, the CNeuroMod team and 6 participants began a massive data collection journey: twice-weekly MRI scans for most of 5 years. Data collection is now complete! 1/🧵
