Why do mental images look different to real images, and to hallucinations? Our new #preprint answers these questions by considering a simple premise: mental imagery never occurs in a vacuum.

A team of scientists at Northwestern University in the US have accidentally created overly-aggressive mutant hamsters following a gene-editing experiment. 🐹
They were trying to increase bonding between the lovable animals but failed.

ALT Graphical Illustration made by @turquoise.kannu (Instagram handle) with the text: “Apply for NMA 2022! Registrations are now open”. There are four cartoons, one with a scientist showing a video, another one with a student connected with her PC from the lab with a microscope on a table close to her, another cartoon with a student connected with his child under his arm, and another one with a student connected with a cat close-by. The four illustrations are connected by two black neuron’s dendrites, depicted as dashed lines.

There’s something so special about the sheer chaos of Leonardo Da Vinci’s todo list (from his 1490 notebook:)

Now published! We recorded EEG 🧠 (n=50) for 22,248 images - all 1,854 concepts in THINGS. We hope this open dataset is useful for understanding how our brains processes and represents objects.
