[conference] Accepted at COSYNE 2026

Excited to share that our abstract “Neuronal population inference reveals how neuromodulation reshapes conductance space” has been accepted for a poster presentation at COSYNE 2026! 🧠

This work extends our NeurIPS 2025 workshop presentation by investigating how neuromodulation reshapes conductance space at the population level.

Key idea: Starting from spike times before and after neuromodulation, our method automatically identifies which ion channel subsets are most likely targeted by neuromodulators – without requiring voltage-clamp measurements. By embracing degeneracy, we track how entire populations of conductance configurations reorganize under modulatory action rather than isolated parameter changes.

Population-level inference of ion channel conductances from spike times before and after neuromodulation, with automatic identification of the most plausible conductance targets.

Out of 1,219 submissions, 705 abstracts (~58%) were accepted for presentation. Looking forward to COSYNE 2026!
