'How much AI do we really need to mirror the human brain? 3B-parameter models can predict brain activity about as well as much larger 14B models — brain alignment saturates at modest model sizes.' - EqualyzAI
Our latest work exploring the impact of temporal context on multimodal narrative video processing in the brain is now available on arXiv.
Rejected at ICLR 2026 (A*). Meta-review: 'The paper would likely have landed just below or around the acceptance threshold.' [OpenReview]
Decision: Rejected from ICLR 2026 (A*) with scores of 6, 6, 4. This is the second rejection despite positive reviews — after NeurIPS 2025 rejection (scores: 5, 5, 5, 3).

Our latest work on leveraging brain data to improve multilingual capabilities in language models is now available on bioRxiv.
Both of our recent works — one on comparing variance partitioning and the residual method for interpreting brain recordings, and another on inducing bias from bilingual brains into language models — have been accepted as poster presentations at CCN 2025.
Our new preprint explores how instruction-tuned multimodal models can provide insights into functional specialization in the brain.
