We developed a multi-ensemble method that increases the applicability of the OA ansatz to empirical data substantially arxiv.org/abs/2607.09516, as we demonstrate on neural data. https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.0951627 Jul 2026 15:48 +0000at://did:plc:2mysgo3euk62vruamnahmbve/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrnan6tdpk2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/rgast.bsky.social/post/3mbh3revwc225At the Bernstein Conference 2024, Jeremie Lefebvre and I organized a workshop on the computational consequences of neural heterogeneity. Now, slightly more than a year later, we funneled the emerging discussions into a perspective piece: https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(25)00896-702 Jan 2026 14:21 +0000at://did:plc:2mysgo3euk62vruamnahmbve/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbh3revwc225
