1/7 Does the infant brain have representational structure? 👶🧠In the FOUNDCOG project, we scanned 134 awake infants using fMRI. Published in Nature Neuroscience, our research reveals 2-month-old infants already possess complex visual representations in VVC that align with DNNs.

I love this so much. After pushback on his recent "Medicine is the only field that reaches 6 sigma" with "my field, psychophysics is so awesome" he posted this. Hurray all Psychophysicists. LETS CELEBRATE PSYCHOPHYSICS. An island of large effects is us!

Psychophysics is a human-facing science with interventions arguably more robust than medicine. argmin.net/p/1000-hurts

The most complex piece I ever made, the famous Purkinje neuron drawn 100 years ago by Ramon y Cajal. It took me more than 30h of cutting with a scroll saw.

I'm recruiting PhD students to join my new lab in Fall 2026! The Shared Minds Lab at @USC will combine deep learning and ecological human neuroscience to better understand how we communicate our thoughts from one brain to another.

🧠 New preprint: Why do deep neural networks predict brain responses so well? We find a striking dissociation: it’s not shared object recognition. Alignment is driven by sensitivity to texture-like local statistics. 📊 Study: n=57, 624k trials, 5 models doi.org/10.1101/2025.08.29.6…

Folks at #CCN2025, drop by my poster tomorrow to hear about the fun task I have been developing with Roland Fleming, to gauge internal models of diverse physical objects in a controlled way! There will be a demo as well 🕹️ Tuesday, August 12, 1:30 – 4:30 pm, de Brug & E‑Hall

Do DNNs represent images in the same way as the human brain? Our new work in #CCN2025 Proceedings suggests that DNNs and brains only agree on the gist but not the actual details of what a scene looks like. openreview.net/forum?id=DtEe…

OK, time for a CCN runup thread. Let me tell you about all the lab’s projects present at CCN this year. #CCN2025

Not just one, but two fantastic chances to discuss how infant development can inform machine learning and vice-versa at CCN 2025 in Amsterdam!!! Satellite workshop sites.google.com/view/child2… and Generative Adversarial Collaboration sites.google.com/ccneuro.org…. Register now!

Hi, we will have three NeuroAI postdoc openings (3 years each) to work with Sebastian Musslick (@smusslick), Pascal Nieters and myself on task-switching, replay, and visual information routing. Reach out if you are interested in any of the above, I'll be at CCN next week!

1 To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised! 🧵Thread on our new preprint with @R3RT0 , doi.org/10.1101/2025.07.17.6…

🚀 New Open-Source Release! PyTorchTNN 🚀 A PyTorch package for building biologically-plausible temporal neural networks (TNNs)—unrolling neural network computation layer-by-layer through time, inspired by cortical processing. PyTorchTNN naturally integrates into the Encoder-Attender-Decoder (EAD) architecture (Chung*, Shen* et al., 2025), which flexibly combines diverse neural networks, motivated by the fact that no single model (Transformer, SSM, RNN) dominates all sequence learning tasks. 🧵👇

JOB ALERT: Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Postdoc position in Osaka, Japan! Possible start in October 2025 (contact me ASAP), or from April 2026. PLEASE REPOST! 1/
