Title: Self-Supervised Foundation Model for Calcium-imaging Population Dynamics

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.04958v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent work suggests that large-scale, multi-animal modeling can significantly improve neural recording analysis. However, for functional calcium traces, existing approaches remain task-specific, limiting transfer across common neuroscience objectives. To address this challenge, we propose \textbf{CalM}, a self-supervised neural foundation model trained solely on neuronal calcium traces and adaptable to multiple downstream tasks, including foreca
