Analyzing neuroimaging data requires specialized coding and statistical expertise, which limits accessibility for researchers without computational backgrounds. We present the AI Neuroscientist, a language agent for interactive data exploration. The system integrates a large language model (LLM) with a neuroimaging toolset to perform quality control, modeling, and visualization. This allows researchers to query data quality and specify analysis parameters directly in natural language, providing a transparent and interactive alternative to conventional scripted pipelines for small-scale data exploration. We demonstrate these capabilities using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) data, and evaluate the agent on a custom fNIRS benchmarking suite against general-purpose LLM agents with code sandboxes. Future extensions will generalize the architecture to additional modalities, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, and expand the benchmarking suite to additional fNIRS tasks.

This work investigates the possibilities of using LLMs in a resume screening setting via a document retrieval framework that simulates job candidate selection and finds that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases.
This study conducts a case survey study based on the secondary data of the major pivots happened in 49 software startups, and demonstrates that customer need pivot is the most common among all pivot types.
