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.
REALM is a retrospective knowledge distillation framework that enables causal decoding of behavior from local field potentials (LFPs). It trains a bidirectional Mamba‑2 teacher on multi‑session data using continuous masked autoencoding, then distills its representations into a compact causal student model. The resulting LFP‑only decoder achieves the highest mean accuracy among compared methods, surpassing state‑of‑the‑art baselines while using fewer parameters and less pretraining time.

NS-Copilot is a large‑language‑model driven multi‑agent system designed to automate neuroscience data analysis. It integrates domain‑specific pre‑trained models for modalities such as EEG and extracellular spike data, and uses a natural‑language interface to orchestrate agents that plan, generate code, and synthesize results. In benchmarks on Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and working‑memory spike decoding, the system consistently outperformed strong baselines across multiple trials.

The paper presents a discrete generative model for neuronal spiking activity recorded on microelectrode arrays. It uses a shared vocabulary of spatiotemporal motifs learned by a residual vector‑quantized autoencoder and predicts motif occurrence with a factorized masked transformer. Evaluated on 31 assays from human brain organoids and ex vivo hippocampal tissue, the model achieves superior reconstruction and generation performance compared to baselines and shows that motifs are largely reused across assays.

Brain4FMs is a unified benchmark for evaluating brain foundation models (BFMs) on both scalp EEG and intracranial EEG (iEEG). It incorporates 17 representative models and 21 public datasets spanning clinical diagnosis, sleep staging, communication, and affective computing, and offers dataset-aware preprocessing, cross‑subject evaluation, and standardized downstream workflows. The benchmark highlights that no single BFM consistently outperforms others across all tasks, modalities, and adaptation protocols, prompting further exploratory analyses of model‑specific spatial, spectral, and discrete representations.
