🚨 Super excited to share our latest work: RABBiT: a foundation model for speech- and language-evoked brain activity.** 🧠🎧 W/ @mtoneva1 One model enables: ✅ accurate zero-shot brain prediction ✅ efficient few-shot adaptation with only 5-10 mins of subject data ✅ convenient in silico neuroscience experiments and it’s so lightweight that it enables real-time, in-browser inference (feel free to try for yourself!) Website: bridge-ai-neuro.github.io/ra… Here's the story. 🧵👇

Very happy to announce that RABBiT has been accepted at @NeurIPSConf, excited to present it at Sydney this year 🎉! We are also presenting this work at @SNLmtg tomorrow. If you are in Geneva, please drop by poster E58 at the 11am session tomorrow or feel free to reach out anytime! Looking forward to the feedback and discussions :")!

12/ Third, Shared–Idiosyncratic Decomposition (SID) captures what responses share and how individuals differ. It gives us a population starting point, then lets us adapt only the small idiosyncratic heads. During few-shot adaptation, these idiosyncratic heads are the only part tuned in the model.
