Fitting Neural Textures and PBR Material Maps with ES (No Backprop)

Evolution strategies as a scalable alternative to reinforcement learning

We’ve discovered that evolution strategies (ES), an optimization technique that’s been known for decades, rivals the performance of standard reinforcement learning (RL) techniques on modern RL benchmarks (e.g. Atari/MuJoCo), while overcoming many of RL’s inconveniences.

Foundation Model Predicts Brain Responses to Visual and Auditory Stimuli | Elisa Cascardi posted on the topic | LinkedIn

Thrilled to share this work with the world! Today, we're releasing a foundation model that predicts how the human brain responds to almost any sight or sound -- and replace the need for human scans to significantly fast-track neuroscience and clinical research. 🧠 With this model, we can simulate brain responses to advance our understanding of the brain -- without the need for costly human brain scans 🌐 By using improved understanding of how efficient our brains perceive the world around us, we can guide the development of more advanced AI systems 👩‍⚕️ With computer-simulated experimentation, we can now speedup clinical research to diagnose neurological diseases and find treatments faster We've open sourced the model and code for researchers to use and build on, and an interactive demo for you to learn more -- see below! 📄 Paper: https://lnkd.in/e7cbunJp 💻 Code: https://lnkd.in/ebwBVuJp ▶️ Demo: https://lnkd.in/eEUVxP4S 🤗 Model: https://lnkd.in/e2T8nPJP So thrilled to be a part of this team with Stéphane d'Ascoli Jean-Rémi King Jérémy RAPIN Yohann Benchetrit Teon Brooks Katelyn Begany Joséphine Raugel Hubert Banville and for the great teamwork with Diego Marcos Dominic Giardini bringing this research to life! #neuroscience #AI #aiforscience #opensource #neuroAI

Open-source software reveals complete 3D architecture of brain cells

The neurons in our brain that underlie thought connect to each other using tiny branch-like structures on their surfaces known as dendritic spines. Now scientists at Columbia's Zuckerman Institute and ...

🚀🚀🚀 Excited to share that our Brain&AI team is releasing NeuralSet! 🚀🚀🚀 A fast, simple, and scalable package for Neuro-AI: 📦 `pip install neuralset` 💻 Code: https://lnkd.in/eamwxBUY 📄 Paper: https://lnkd.in/epbreyDy As a PhD student working extensively with neuro recordings and AI models, I find this library to be a game-changer. This has been the common backbone for the past several years of our projects (TribeV2, DynaDiff, Brain2Qwerty & more!). This library turns raw neuro-recordings into AI-ready tensors. It enables:  - Event-driven processing with typed, validated DataFrames. - Multimodal extractors for fMRI, EEG, MEG, EMG, and iEEG + text, image, audio, and video. - Torch-native segmentation for efficient batching. - Caching and remote compute through exca. Huge thanks to everyone on the team who made this release possible. If you're working on brain decoding, encoding models, or foundation models for neuroscience, don’t miss this! 🧠 Jean-Rémi King Hubert Banville Katie Begany Corentin Bel Yohann Benchetrit Teon Brooks Marlène Careil Simon Dahan Stéphane d'Ascoli Alexandre Défossez Linnea Evanson, PhD Pablo J.
