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.

Can RNNs learn Recursive Nested Subject-Verb Agreements?

One of the fundamental principles of contemporary linguistics states that language processing requires the ability to extract recursively nested tree structures. However, it remains unclear whether and how this code could be implemented in neural circuits. Recent advances in Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), which achieve near-human performance in some language tasks, provide a compelling model to address such questions. Here, we present a new framework to study recursive processing in RNNs, using subject-verb agreement as a probe into the representations of the neural network. We trained six distinct types of RNNs on a simplified probabilistic context-free grammar designed to independently manipulate the length of a sentence and the depth of its syntactic tree. All RNNs generalized to subject-verb dependencies longer than those seen during training. However, none systematically generalized to deeper tree structures, even those with a structural bias towards learning nested tree (i.e., stack-RNNs). In addition, our analyses revealed primacy and recency effects in the generalization patterns of LSTM-based models, showing that these models tend to perform well on the outer- and innermost parts of a center-embedded tree structure, but poorly on its middle levels. Finally, probing the internal states of the model during the processing of sentences with nested tree structures, we found a complex encoding of grammatical agreement information (e.g. grammatical number), in which all the information for multiple words nouns was carried by a single unit. Taken together, these results indicate how neural networks may extract bounded nested tree structures, without learning a systematic recursive rule.
