iBrain: Unified Foundation Model Reads Brain Activity from Surface to Spikes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed iBrain, a novel unified foundation model designed to interpret brain activity from both surface-level and spike-level invasive recordings. This model utilizes signal-specific encoders and a shared Transformer backbone to effectively process heterogeneous neural data. Pretrained on over 7,000 hours of recordings, iBrain demonstrates superior performance compared to single-signal models and shows strong transferability and data efficiency across various recording scenarios. AI

IMPACT This model could advance neuroscience research by enabling more comprehensive analysis of brain activity from invasive recordings.

    iBrain: A Unified Foundation Model Reading the Brain from Surface to Spikes

    arXiv:2609.06960v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Invasive neural recordings provide high-fidelity measurements of brain activity, with signals such as intracranial EEG (iEEG) and intracortical spiking activity capturing neural dynamics at different spatial and temporal scales. Yet…
