arXiv:2607. 23258v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large-scale calcium imaging has created an opportunity to build foundation-style models for neural population dynamics, but a central question remains unresolved: \textbf{whether a model pretrained on one collection of recordings can generalize to new datasets, experimental paradigms, and even species.

BrainWideBench is a benchmark that evaluates across‑animal transfer on multi‑region neural recordings from 139 mice, covering 276 brain regions. It comprises three task suites—behavior decoding, neural activity prediction, and anatomical organization recovery—to test whether learned representations support diverse downstream objectives. The benchmark shows that while pretraining improves performance over single‑session baselines, current methods vary in transfer ability and none perform uniformly well across all suites, highlighting the challenge of developing general‑purpose neural representations.

arXiv:2607. 14086v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Robust and accurate neural decoders are integral to neurotechnologies such as brain-computer interfaces and closed-loop experiments.
The paper introduces Latent Drift, a generative forecasting framework that predicts slow-evolving neurodegenerative disease progression by learning changes in a compressed semantic representation rather than full-resolution anatomy. It addresses two failure modes—identity collapse and continuous interpolation trap—by removing pixel-level identity from the prediction target and applying Finite Scalar Quantization to suppress high-frequency nuisance fluctuations. Experiments on longitudinal 3D brain MRI demonstrate that Latent Drift outperforms diffusion and autoregressive transformer baselines in both generative fidelity and clinically relevant metrics.

Robust and accurate neural decoders are integral to neurotechnologies such as brain-computer interfaces and closed-loop experiments. Recent work has shown that tokenizing neural data at the spike level facilitates multi-session pretraining and delivers state-of-the-art decoding performance.
arXiv:2606. 29577v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) reveals brain metabolism and is clinically central to neurodegenerative disease assessment, yet existing 3D brain foundation models treat PET as generic volumetric data, missing the structured regional metabolic information that distinguishes it from structural neuroimaging.
FLaG (Frequency‑Domain Latent‑attention Gated Pooling) is a plug‑in token‑aggregation module that transforms encoder outputs into the Fourier domain, summarizes spectral tokens with learnable latent queries, applies a sample‑conditioned channel gate, and reconstructs modulated token representations for downstream pooling. The method is evaluated on antimicrobial peptide activity prediction, CIFAR‑10/100 image classification, and several RoBERTa language tasks, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on most metrics. Analyses show that FLaG emphasizes low‑frequency components while selectively amplifying high‑frequency signals in later layers, providing a transferable frequency‑domain bias across protein, visual, and textual representations.
