Title:NS-Copilot: An LLM-Driven Agent System for Autonomous Neuroscience Analysis

Abstract:AI is rapidly advancing neuroscience, yet many laboratories fail to fully unleash its potential due to significant interdisciplinary barriers. While pre-trained neural models for physiological data are progressing quickly, their heterogeneous architectures and modality-specific constraints hinder systematic integration, selection, and evaluation. Despite recent advances in large language model (LLM)-based agent systems for intelligent scientific applications, existing approaches often still lack the domain expertise required to effectively select and coordinate diverse neuroscience pre-trained models and handle unique data types in this domain. We present NS-Copilot, an LLM-driven multi-agent system for neuroscience analysis that autonomously supports end-to-end workflows for diverse professional tasks. It unifies domain-specific pre-trained models and supports key neuroscience modalities, including EEG and extracellular spike data, through a natural-language interface. Given raw data and a task description, NS-Copilot orchestrates agents with specialized roles for planning, adaptive control, code generation, and result synthesis, enabling analysis without dataset-specific heuristics. We evaluate NS-Copilot on neuroscience benchmarks spanning Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and working memory spike decoding. Across 8 trials per task, the system consistently outperforms strong baselines on the primary metric, demonstrating the ability of NS-Copilot for effective and scalable neuroscience analysis.
