This was a really fun project -- I think we're getting a much better handle handle on the neural dynamics of vision. (and still a ways to go!). I've heard from folks that the 30ms recurrent circuit we seem to be finding has been found in a bunch of other places as well...
1/ New preprint with @dyamins team! Ventral visual representations within areas evolve over the course of the response along the same hierarchical complexity axis that distinguishes the visual areas, potentially driven by local recurrence. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

1/ How do we see 3D shape — for grasping, reaching, navigating — when the world is constantly in motion? We started with one piece of this puzzle—how the brain recovers surface geometry from dynamic input. New preprint, a joint effort from Josh Tenenbaum’s and Jim DiCarlo’s labs at MIT.

Honored to have the opportunity to discuss our research with the talented Nicholas Weiler on his podcast From Our Neurons to Yours
How can childhood experiences (and PokĆ©mon) reorganize the brain? Stanford neuroscientist Kalanit Grill-Spector @kalatwt joins us to discuss how childhood visual experiences, like words, faces, and even video games, shape how we see the world as adults. neuroscience.stanford.edu/ne…

1/ New preprint VSS poster! Attention has long been thought to enable efficient vision. But does it? First demonstration that attention—consuming just 4-5% of the energy budget—can cut the energetic costs of vision in half. #VSS2026

Look. The snakes rotate. Hold still. They stop. Glance away. They spin again. We asked 10 visual-motion models to play this game with us. Only one could. šŸ I'll present "Neural networks reveal candidate computational mechanisms underlying anomalous motion illusion" at #VSS2026 šŸ—“ļø May 19th, Tuesday 8:30–12:30 šŸ“ Pavilion, Board 53.435 Welcome to drop by! šŸ‘‹ w/ @IsabellaRosario @ZitangSun @KriegeskorteLab

Finally, today is the day: Josefine Zerbe will present and release our new multi-echo 7T fMRI dataset LAION-fMRI during #VSS2026, with >30 fMRI session per subject and unprecedented stimulus diversity. Come to Talk Room 1 (Scene perception) today at 5:15. Details after the talk!

Ok -- I've started a substack -- The Principle Investigator! My goal is communicating advanced takes on ideas in NeuroAI . Here's the first substantive post: danyamins.substack.com/p/kol… Calculating the aesthetics of DNN models of the brain

New paper/blog on temporally abstract world models # ICLR2026 What should a world model predict? Video world models predict pixels. JEPA-style models predict latent states. Both iterate through time one frame after another. Instead consider how you boil water for a cup of tea.
