Enigma Enigma is a non-profit research organization based at Stanford University, leveraging deep learning for neuroscientific insight

At enigmaproject.ai, we’re building upon these foundations in a new initiative to massively scale functional neural recordings—fusing them with multi-modal modeling, mechanistic interpretability, automated scientific discovery, and closed loop experimentation to decode the neural basis of perception

Francis Crick called it “impossible” in 1979. Now it’s real.
A 1 mm cube of mouse brain, 200k cells, 500M synapses, all mapped alongside neuronal activity.

This new MICrONS dataset maps brain structure and function in a way that we've never seen🧪

I'm calling for a $1B-scale effort to transform our understanding of intelligence as profoundly as astronomical observatories transformed our understanding of the cosmos. We need a new kind of institution focused on scale, impact and financial sustainability. More here 2/14 bsky.app/profile/thet...

My paper on hierarchical plans is out in Cognition!🎉

tldr: We ask participants to generate hierarchical plans in a programming game. People prefer to reuse beyond what standard accounts predict, which we formalize as induction of a grammar over actions.
