Exciting new preprint from the lab: “Adopting a human developmental visual diet yields robust, shape-based AI vision”. A most wonderful case where brain inspiration massively improved AI solutions. Work with @lu_zejin @martisamuser and Radoslaw Cichy https://t.co/XVYqQPjoTA

Despite years of research and the dramatic scaling of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, a striking misalignment between artificial and human vision persists. Contrary to humans, AI heavily...

Such a great experience working on this study with @sparuniisc and @PramodRT9! Learned a lot—so glad to see it out in the world.
In a study now out in @eLife, @GeorginJacob @PramodRT9 and I have some exciting results: a novel computation that helps the brain solve disparate visual tasks, a novel brain region that performs this computation....what's not to like?! Read on.... 1/n https://t.co/L2RKIpuShv

Some people today are discouraging others from learning programming on the grounds AI will automate it. This advice will be seen as some of the worst career advice ever given. I disagree with the Turing Award and Nobel prize winner who wrote, “It is far more likely that the

In a new study, out now in Attention Perception & Psychophysics, Thomas Cherian (@copy2thomas) and I have some exciting insights into what we see when an object is occluded. Like all good things, the origin of this study was simple curiosity. Consider the picture below: 1/25

Neuroscience needs research engineers, but orgs are not ready for this. I agree wholeheartedly with Gaelle and Olivier. 1. RSEs should be inside of a ladder/org where they can learn from each other. A lone RSE in a lab is a recipe for isolation, skill atrophy, low mobility. 1/
With neuroscience datasets and scientific collaborations growing in size, Gaelle Chapuis and Olivier Winter explain why neuroscience needs to create a career path for software engineers. https://t.co/y8VpwO5R4p

Will training on AI-generated synthetic data lead to the next frontier of vision models?🤔 Our new paper suggests NO—for now. Synthetic data doesn't magically enable generalization beyond the generator's original training set. 📜: https://t.co/K8PCArnFLD Details below🧵(1/n)

Generative text-to-image models enable us to synthesize unlimited amounts of images in a controllable manner, spurring many recent efforts to train vision models with synthetic data. However,...
