This is a placeholder post so you can see how a research write-up renders.
Replace the file in _posts/ with your own. The first paragraph is a good
place to state the question in one or two plain sentences.
The idea
A world model learns to predict how an environment evolves so an agent can plan inside its own imagination. A connectome is the full wiring diagram of a nervous system. The thesis asks a simple question: if we constrain the world model’s connectivity to match a biological connectome, what do we gain?
What I did
- Built a baseline world model in JAX.
- Replaced the dense recurrent core with a sparse graph derived from a published connectome.
- Compared sample efficiency and stability across a handful of control tasks.
# Illustrative — the connectome enters as a fixed sparsity mask.
W = init_weights(n, n) * connectome_mask
What I found
Write your results here. A short table or a single figure usually does more than three paragraphs of prose.
What’s next
End with the open threads — it signals you know where the work goes, which is exactly what research-engineering interviewers look for.
