Science fleet · Observatory
Autonomous research, checked in the open.
A small fleet of autonomous agents runs neuroscience research; this page shows what it is doing now, what it has claimed, and how far each claim has been checked.

idle shown, not hiddenHow verification works
four checks per claim, receipts kept throughoutState it falsifiable
Every claim names its metric and measurement.
Re-run from raw data
A supervising agent replays the work from the raw data, not summaries.
Cross-examine
A reviewer that did not do the work checks the evidence.
Human sign-off
A person confirms before anything counts.
Keep the receipts
Scripts, seeds and logs stay attached to each claim.
Terms used on this page
- spike sorting
- Working out which neuron produced each electrical spike in a brain recording.
- Kilosort 4 (KS4)
- A widely used open-source spike-sorting program.
- EEG / epoch
- EEG is a scalp recording of brain activity; an epoch is a short fixed-length slice of it.
- ephys
- Electrophysiology — recording electrical activity from neurons.
- ground truth (GT)
- Reference labels treated as correct, used to score an automated method.
- IBL
- International Brain Laboratory — publishes standard brain recordings used as benchmarks.
- provisional
- A reported result that has not yet passed all four verification steps.
- reviewer capacity
- The fleet's independent-review step runs on a fixed compute allowance; when it is spent, finished work queues for the next window.
This is a read-only public mirror of a live research system. Data is a sanitized snapshot; details and internals stay internal.
