BCIJelly: An integrated ecosystem for brain-computer interface research

Brain-computer interface (BCI) research relies on multistage computational pipelines, yet progress remains constrained by fragmented data formats, heterogeneous decoder implementations and hardware-specific deployment toolchains, and researchers lack an integrated workflow. Here, we fill this gap with BCIJelly, a unified computational ecosystem that integrates 18 curated BCI datasets, 15 benchmark decoders and an algorithmic library of 80 reusable modules, an automated architecture search (AAS) procedure, and hardware-aware deployment through the toChip pipeline within a single Python framework. AAS constructs task-specific decoders without manual architecture design. It is further extended into a closed-loop mode guided by a large language model (LLM), which uses task specifications, module descriptions and search history to support multitask and cross-species decoding. The toChip pipeline compiles trained decoders for execution on neuromorphic chips, enabling energy-efficient deployment for BCI systems. An accompanying visualization software provides a graphical interface to the full workflow, making BCIJelly accessible without programming. We validate BCIJelly across five BCI paradigms (motor, visual, speech, emotion and auditory) with recordings from humans, macaques and mice, and single-task, multitask and cross-species decoding settings. BCIJelly establishes a unified and extensible infrastructure that bridges decoder development and hardware-aware deployment for BCI research.

Multi-Viewpoint and Multi-Evaluation with Felicitous Inductive Bias Boost Machine Abstract Reasoning Ability

Great endeavors have been made to study AI's ability in abstract reasoning, along with which different versions of RAVEN's progressive matrices (RPM) are proposed as benchmarks. Previous works give inkling that without sophisticated design or extra meta-data containing semantic information, neural networks may still be indecisive in making decisions regarding RPM problems, after relentless training. Evidenced by thorough experiments and ablation studies, we showcase that end-to-end neural networks embodied with felicitous inductive bias, intentionally design or serendipitously match, can solve RPM problems elegantly, without the augment of any extra meta-data or preferences of any specific backbone. Our work also reveals that multi-viewpoint with multi-evaluation is a key learning strategy for successful reasoning. Finally, potential explanations for the failure of connectionist models in generalization are provided. We hope that these results will serve as inspections of AI's ability beyond perception and toward abstract reasoning. Source code can be found in https://github.com/QinglaiWeiCASIA/RavenSolver.

EiHi Net: Out-of-Distribution Generalization Paradigm

This paper develops a new EiHi net to solve the out-of-distribution (OoD) generalization problem in deep learning. EiHi net is a model learning paradigm that can be blessed on any visual backbone. This paradigm can change the previous learning method of the deep model, namely find out correlations between inductive sample features and corresponding categories, which suffers from pseudo correlations between indecisive features and labels. We fuse SimCLR and VIC-Reg via explicitly and dynamically establishing the original - positive - negative sample pair as a minimal learning element, the deep model iteratively establishes a relationship close to the causal one between features and labels, while suppressing pseudo correlations. To further validate the proposed model, and strengthen the established causal relationships, we develop a human-in-the-loop strategy, with few guidance samples, to prune the representation space directly. Finally, it is shown that the developed EiHi net makes significant improvements in the most difficult and typical OoD dataset Nico, compared with the current SOTA results, without any domain ($e.g.$ background, irrelevant features) information.
