For trainees entering computational neuroscience or NeuroAI from an engineering background, where do you direct them to learn some neuroscience these days? Books, courses, ...?

And no... I'm not interested in scaring them off with Kandel!

⚡️ Excited to introduce ZAPBench, our #ICLR2025 spotlight: The Zebrafish Activity Prediction Benchmark measures progress in predicting neural activity within an entire vertebrate brain (70k+ neurons!)

Explore interactive visualizations, datasets, code + paper: google-research.github.io/zapbench

ZAPBench
ZAPBench evaluates how well different models can predict the activity of over 70,000 neurons in a novel larval zebrafish dataset.
