GRAFT: Gain-Recalibrated Adapters for Transformer-Based Neural Population Activity Modeling

arXiv:2606. 11066v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural population activity models can recover rich temporal structure from binned spikes, but their read-in and readout layers often remain tied to a fixed set of recorded neurons.

CANNs: A Toolkit for Research on Continuous Attractor Neural Networks

arXiv:2606. 27783v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continuous attractor neural networks (CANNs) are the canonical computational framework for how the brain encodes continuous variables such as spatial position, head direction, and movement direction, and explain the activity of hippocampal place cells, entorhinal grid cells, and head-direction cells.

CAPT: A Multi-task Continuous Autoregressive Transformer enabling Cross-dataset and Cross-species Transfer for Calcium Population Dynamics

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.

Test-Time Adaptation for EEG Foundation Models: A Systematic Study under Real-World Distribution Shifts

arXiv:2604. 16926v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) foundation models have shown strong potential for learning generalizable representations from large-scale neural data, yet their clinical deployment is hindered by distribution shifts across clinical settings, devices, and populations.

How Much Capacity Does EEG Denoising Need? Ultra-Compact Networks reveal Benchmark Saturation and Metric-Utility Gap

arXiv:2606. 08594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning EEG denoising architectures have scaled from tens of thousands to tens of millions of parameters, yet no prior study has isolated model capacity as the experimental variable or tested whether reconstruction metrics predict downstream neural-signal utility.
