Benchmark tests whether pretraining on multi-region neural recordings enables transfer across animals and tasks

BrainWideBench evaluates pretrained representations on three task suites—behavior decoding, neural dynamics prediction, and anatomical recovery—finding that no single approach excels across all.

The authors introduce BrainWideBench, a benchmark built on the International Brain Laboratory's Brainwide Map dataset (276 brain regions from 139 mice).

The authors constructed BrainWideBench using the International Brain Laboratory Brainwide Map dataset, which contains neural and behavioral recordings from 139 mice across 276 brain regions during a sensory-guided decision-making task.
