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.
NeuroLens is a self‑supervised model that learns denoised, semantically informative latent embeddings from chronic neural recordings using a Joint‑Embedding Predictive Architecture. It maps changing neural populations into a common latent space and predicts future latent states, thereby reducing sensitivity to transient recording variability. Across chronic intracortical data in mice and humans, NeuroLens improves decoding of decision‑making and semantic task variables, supports multi‑day pretraining, rapid few‑shot adaptation, and yields more stable decoding over time than existing baselines.

Rhamba is a region‑aware pretraining framework for resting‑state fMRI that combines anatomically guided masking with hybrid Attention‑Mamba architectures. The study pretrained models on the ABIDE dataset using three masking strategies (Any, Majority, Pure) and evaluated four architectural variants, finding that the Mamba‑Attention (MA) hybrid achieved the best average AUROC on downstream schizophrenia and ADHD classification tasks. Explainable AI via Integrated Gradients highlighted that performance depends on the interaction between masking strategy and architecture rather than a single dominant configuration.
