- I'm starting to think the argument between low vs. high dimensional neural activity literally just comes from plotting the PCs in linear vs. log y-scale
- I think this by definition makes it the best workshop at neurips
- We are over the moon to be joined by so many engaging colleagues across neuro, cog sci, and machine learning, including Terry Sejnowski! #NeurIPS2025
