NeuroscienceBench debuts: 91 evaluations test if AI agents can read real biology data
kenbwork · x · 2026-11-10
A team is expanding benchmarking into basic research, launching NeuroscienceBench to measure whether AI agents can analyze experimental data and draw reliable conclusions about biology. It comprises 91 evaluations from 43 peer-reviewed studies spanning sequencing, electrophysiology, EEG, brain-computer interface decoding, imaging, behavior, and clinical biomarkers. The framing: much of science rests on multimodal data and literally seeing the world, requiring both analytical skill and scientific judgment. Immunology, aging, and other fields' benchmarks are planned next.
