🚨 New preprints out!🚨
Excited to share two new preprints from my #MSCA project. With @DKaiserlab , @MariusPeelen , and Belma Seferovic, we show how contextual associations shape real-world object representations and guide everyday visual task performance. Check them out👇

Check out @EngeserMicha's preprint on individual differences in expectations about natural scenes and how they shape how we perceive and neurally represent scenes. 👁️🧠👨🦱👩🦰👩🦳

I’m excited to share the first preprint from my PhD project!
Together with Daniel Kaiser (@DKaiserlab), we investigated how internal models shape inter-individual differences in the perception and neural processing of natural scenes.

From line drawings to scene perception — our new review argues for moving beyond experimenter-driven manipulations toward participant-driven approaches to reveal what’s in our internal models of the visual world. 👁️✍️🛋

🧵 Can a purely feedforward network — with no recurrence or lateral connections — capture human-like perceptual organization?
🤯 Yes! Especially for contour integration, and we pinpoint the key inductive biases.
New paper in @PLOSCompBiol with @talia_konkle & @grez72!
