Virality Isn't Magic, It’s Biology (And Meta Just Gave Us the Blueprint)
Meta’s FAIR team unveiled TRIBE v2, a foundation model that predicts human cortical responses to any multimodal content. Trained on 1,000 hours of high‑resolution fMRI data from 720 participants, the model maps inputs onto 70,000 brain voxels, effectively simulating how a viewer’s brain lights up. The technology promises to shift marketing and product development from costly, reactive testing to proactive, neuroscience‑driven prediction. Start‑ups like Cofounder are already positioning AI‑generated agents to exploit this predictive edge.
