Excited to share our News&Views on Kamitani Lab's NatComputSci paper! Their neural code converter enables transformation of brain activity patterns across individuals, and it doesn't need shared stimuli or connectivity information!

Advancing neural decoding with deep learning - Nature Computational Science

A recent study introduces a neural code conversion method that aligns brain activity across individuals without shared stimuli, using deep neural network-derived features to match stimulus content.

Analog computing with waves works—and it's vastly more energy-efficient than digital. Here, it's done with light, but all waves apply. Biology exploits useful things. Our brains constantly generate electric field waves.

Enabling Optical Analog Computing with Metamaterials

The manipulation of light with structured materials could allow mathematical operations to be performed with compact optics. [Also see Report by Silva et al.]

Thanks Ravi! It really was special to be able to have this conversation with him. Thanks for getting us in touch! My questions start from a sincere curiosity and respect for the guests' stories as well as their ideas and contributions - and the context from which they emerged.

Mandatory listening. Peter has a knack for these interviews. And this dropped just a week after Seiji turned 91.

Dr. Seiji Ogawa discovered and coined "Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent" BOLD contrast - used in almost all fMRI today. It was my great honor to interview him over two days on the very beginnings of fMRI, and so much more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gBK...

The is particularly true in the area of precision medicine, where models trained in homogeneous populations largely fail to generalize to diverse samples. Eg work by @bttyeo.bsky.social and others. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Good observation. Of course they are not precisely the same, and the subtle differences may have significance in some contexts.
