The Algonauts Project

NSD-synthetic, the out-of-distribution companion dataset of NSD consisting of 7T fMRI responses to 284 artificial images, is now published. #NeuroAI #CompNeuro #Neuroscience #AI doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

We’d love your feedback on BERG (github.com/gifale95/BERG): pretrained encoding models + a Python toolkit for generating in silico neural responses for in silico experimentation. Your input will help make BERG more useful and reliable! forms.gle/pybrqcaqdso2LJ… #NeuroAI #CompNeuro

(3/3) The Algonauts Project now promotes several initiatives at the intersection of biological and artificial intelligence research. Get in touch if you have related ideas that you would like us to promote. algonautsproject.com

(2/3) Please help us improve future editions of the challenge by taking a 5 minute survey. We look forward to your input! forms.gle/yGY4k1NcjPZkyU…

(1/3) The Algonauts session at CCN has concluded: thank you to all who participated! The session recording will soon be available on the YouTube CCN page. #algonauts2025 #NeuroAI #CompNeuro #Neuroscience #AI #CCN2025 #hessianai @ai_unique #cneuromod #FUBerlin #GoetheUni

(2/2) To all Algonauts 2025 challenge participants: To promote open science and faster scientific development, we encourage you to submit your report and code, even if the challenge is now over! forms.gle/RbouWUqYrm9pcW…

(1/2) The Algonauts Project 2025 challenge results are out! 1st: sdascoli; 2nd: NCG; 3rd: SDA. Congratulations! Join the Algonauts session at CCN to know how they did it. #NeuroAI #CompNeuro #Neuroscience #AI #CCN2025 #cneuromod #FUBerlin #GoetheUni 2025.ccneuro.org

The Algonauts Challenge submission is over: > 60 teams participated! To be considered in the winners selection process, please post your report/code by July 25th. We will announce the winners on August 5th! #NeuroAI #CompNeuro #Neuroscience #AI #CCN2025 #hessianai #cneuromod

On July 6th will open the final Algonauts challenge phase, which will test the out-of-distribution generalization of your models, and determine the challenge winners. We look forward to your submissions! algonautsproject.com

Vision DNNs and LLMs complement each other in predicting EEG responses to images, providing a more accurate model of the time course of visuo-semantic processing in the human brain. #NeuroAI arxiv.org/abs/2506.19497

Using in silico neuroscience, Gifford et al. developed a neural control algorithm to modulate the representational relationships between visual cortical areas, revealinghow these areas jointly represent the world as an interconnected network. #NeuroAI nature.com/articles/s4156…

Update: hessian.AI will sponsor up to 1,600€ for travel expenses and conference registration fees for each of the top three Algonauts 2025 Challenge teams to present their winning models at CCN 2025! #Hessian_AI #CCN2025 algonautsproject.com

(4/4) The challenge is open to all, and provides transparent, directly comparable results through a public leaderboard that is updated automatically after each submission to facilitate rapid model assessment and guide development. We look forward to your participation!

(3/4) The top 3-entries will receive prizes for a total of 17,000 € (1st 9,000 €; 2nd 5,000 €; 3rd 3,000 €), and will be invited to present their work this August at the Cognitive Computational Neuroscience (CCN) conference, in Amsterdam. @CogCompNeuro #CCN2025

(1/4) The Algonauts Project 2025 challenge is now live! Participate and build computational models that best predict how the human brain responds to multimodal movies! Submission deadline: 13th of July. #algonauts2025 #NeuroAI algonautsproject.com
