Visiting Wisconsin-Madison this week to attend #SIAMAG25. Would love to connect with fellow researchers, say hi if you are around!

Multi-timescale reinforcement learning in the brain - Nature Individual dopaminergic neurons encode future rewards over distinct temporal horizons.

Two papers out today on RL in the dopaminergic neurons of the midbrain of mice (one from McGill's new PI @paulmasset.bsky.social). Both papers demonstrate heterogeneity in discount factors!

How does AI memorize information? How does ChatGPT remember your name? How do RNNs keep track of simple numbers?

Our new paper led by Bariscan Kurtkaya & Fatih Dinc explores the geometry of short-term memory in neural networks—revealing limits in how information is stored!🧵

My PhD work is now out! Here, we set out to formalize the neural manifold hypothesis and explain several experimental phenomena in systems neuroscience with a single theoretical framework. I highly recommend giving it a read, though tweetprint come much later!
