A foundation model of vision, audition, and language for in-silico neuroscience

Cognitive neuroscience is fragmented into specialized models, each tailored to specific experimental paradigms, hence preventing a unified model of cognition in the human brain. Here, we introduce TRIBE v2, a tri-modal (video, audio and language) foundation model capable of predicting human brain activity in a variety of naturalistic and experimental conditions. Leveraging a unified dataset of over 1,000 hours of fMRI across 720 subjects, we demonstrate that our model accurately predicts high-resolution brain responses for novel stimuli, tasks and subjects, superseding traditional linear encoding models, delivering several-fold improvements in accuracy. Critically, TRIBE v2 enables in silico experimentation: tested on seminal visual and neuro-linguistic paradigms, it recovers a variety of results established by decades of empirical research. Finally, by extracting interpretable latent features, TRIBE v2 reveals the fine-grained topography of multisensory integration. These results establish artificial intelligence as a unifying framework for exploring the functional organization of the human brain.

NeuralBench: A Unifying Framework to Benchmark NeuroAI Models

Deep learning and large public datasets have recently catalyzed the proliferation of AI models for processing brain recordings. However, systematically evaluating these models remains a challenge: not only do the preprocessing pipelines, training and finetuning approaches largely vary across studies, but their downstream evaluation is often limited to small sets of tasks and/or datasets. Here, we present NeuralBench: a unified framework for benchmarking AI models of brain activity. We accompany this framework with NeuralBench-EEG v1.0 -- a large EEG benchmark that includes 36 electroencephalography (EEG) tasks and 14 deep learning architectures, and is evaluated on 94 datasets accessed through a standardized interface. This first EEG-focused release already highlights two main findings. First, current foundation models only marginally outperform task-specific models. Second, a large set of tasks (e.g. cognitive decoding, clinical predictions) remain highly challenging, even for the best models. Critically, NeuralBench is designed for the integration of new tasks, datasets, models, and neuroimaging modalities, as illustrated by preliminary extensions to MEG and fMRI datasets and models. Through this white paper, we invite the community to expand this open-source framework and work together toward a unified benchmarking standard for neuroimaging models.

NeuralSet: A High-Performing Python Package for Neuro-AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly central to understanding how the brain processes information. However, the integration of neuroscience and modern AI is bottlenecked by a fragmented software ecosystem. Current tools are siloed by recording modality and optimized for small-scale, in-memory workflows, limiting the use of massive, naturalistic datasets. Here, we introduce NeuralSet, a Python framework that efficiently unifies the processing of diverse neural recordings (including fMRI, M/EEG, and spikes) and complex experimental stimuli (such as text, audio, and video). By decoupling experimental metadata from lazy, memory-efficient data extraction, NeuralSet harmonizes standard neuroscientific preprocessing pipelines with pretrained deep learning embeddings. This approach provides a single PyTorch-ready interface that scales seamlessly from local prototyping to high-performance cluster execution. By eliminating manual data wrangling and ensuring full computational provenance, NeuralSet establishes a scalable, unified infrastructure for the next generation of neuro-AI research.
