The multi scale architecture by Breakspear and Stam [2] introduces a framework to consider the dynamical processes specific to a nested hierarchy of spatial scales, from neuronal masses to cortical columns and functional brain regions. They hypothesize that the neural dynamics is a function of the structural properties…

Neural mechanisms and underlying directionality of signaling among brain regions depend on neural dynamics spanning multiple spatiotemporal scales of population activity. Despite recent advances in multimodal measurements of brain activity, there is no broadly accepted multiscale dynamical models for the collective…

Fundamental principles underlying computation in multi-scale brain networks illustrate how multiple brain areas and their coordinated activity give rise to complex cognitive functions. Whereas brain activity has been studied at the micro- to meso-scale to reveal the connections between the dynamical patterns and the…

Object recognition relies on inferior temporal (IT) cortical neural population representations that are themselves computed by a hierarchical network of feedforward and recurrently connected neural population called the ventral visual stream (areas V1, V2, V4 and IT). While recent work has created some reasonably…

Nonlinear differential equations rarely admit closed-form solutions, thus requiring numerical time-stepping algorithms to approximate solutions. Further, many systems characterized by multiscale physics exhibit dynamics over a vast range of timescales, making numerical integration computationally expensive due to…

Recent work has demonstrated that large-scale, multi-animal models are powerful tools for characterizing the relationship between neural activity and behavior. Current large-scale approaches, however, focus exclusively on either predicting neural activity from behavior (encoding) or predicting behavior from neural…

'Yue Yin' 'Haifeng Xu'] With the intensification of ecosystem damage, birds have become the symbolic species of the ecosystem. Ornithology with interdisciplinary technical research plays a great significance for protecting birds and evaluating ecosystem quality. Deep learning shows great progress for birdsongs…

Scaling data and artificial neural networks has transformed AI, driving breakthroughs in language and vision. Whether similar principles apply to modeling brain activity remains unclear. Here we leveraged a dataset of 3.1 million neurons from the visual cortex of 73 mice across 323 sessions, totaling more than 150…

Epileptic seizures are caused by abnormal, overly synchronized, electrical activity in the brain. The abnormal electrical activity manifests as waves, propagating across the brain. Accurate prediction of the propagation velocity and direction of these waves could enable realtime responsive brain stimulation to suppress…

Massive scale, both in terms of data availability and computation, enables significant breakthroughs in key application areas of deep learning such as natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision. There is emerging evidence that scale may be a key ingredient in scientific deep learning, but the importance of…

Neuroscience research has made immense progress over the last decade, but our understanding of the brain remains fragmented and piecemeal: the dream of probing an arbitrary brain region and automatically reading out the information encoded in its neural activity remains out of reach. In this work, we build towards a…

Recent experiments have revealed a hierarchy of time scales in the visual cortex, where different stages of the visual system process information at different time scales. Recurrent neural networks are ideal models to gain insight in how information is processed by such a hierarchy of time scales and have become widely…

Multiscale modeling of complex chemical systems—ranging from polymers to biomolecules—requires coarse-grained (CG) techniques to bridge atomic-scale interactions with mesoscopic behavior. Traditional CG methods rely on handcrafted potentials, limiting their transferability across systems. We propose a…

Humans and other animals demonstrate a remarkable ability to generalize knowledge across distinct contexts and objects during natural behavior. We posit that this ability to generalize arises from a specific representational geometry, that we call abstract and that is referred to as disentangled in machine learning.…

'Gerhard Neumann'] Intelligent agents use internal world models to reason and make predictions about different courses of their actions at many scales [22]. Devising learning paradigms and architectures that allow machines to learn world models that operate at multiple levels of temporal abstractions while dealing with…

Accurate extrapolation in data-scarce scientific systems remains a central challenge for machine intelligence. In microbial bioprocessing, kinetic parameters change non-monotonically with reactor volume due to interacting hydrodynamic, oxygen-transfer, and mixing effects, rendering classical empirical scaling laws…

We investigate the potential of graph neural networks for transfer learning and improving molecular property prediction on sparse and expensive to acquire high-fidelity data by leveraging low-fidelity measurements as an inexpensive proxy for a targeted property ofinterest. This problem arises in discovery processes…

A key challenge in analyzing neuroscience datasets is the profound variability they exhibit across sessions, animals, and data modalities–i.e., heterogeneity. Several recent studies have demonstrated performance gains from pretraining neural foundation models on multi-session datasets, seemingly overcoming this…

For datasets with thousands of neurons and images, vision transformers have proven successful at predicting neural responses to stimuli. However, they are expected to underperform in low-data regimes, where CNNs and Gaussian processes are considered more effective. We ask whether transformers can be made competitive…

Recent attempts at utilizing deep learning for structure-based virtual screening have focused on training models to predict binding affinity from protein-ligand complexes with known crystal structures. The PDBbind dataset is the current standard for training such models, but its small size (less than 20K binding…
