BioRNNs uniquely predicted empirical fMRI activity and organized emergent dynamics into a spatial pattern matching the brain’s principal sensorimotor-association hierarchy.
- Why it matters: It remains unclear how physical brain geometry and cognitive demands jointly produce flexible functional dynamics and brain-like topology.
- What they did: Three RNN classes were trained on a working-memory task—Vanilla, Masked, and biophysical RNNs with projection constraints plus connectivity embedded in inter-regional Euclidean geometry—and then tested for prediction of fMRI activity.
- The result: Prediction by bioRNNs emerged along training as geometry effects were first encoded then partially traded back, while brain-like topological features increased with task proficiency.
