Great to present my work "Five Illusions Challenge Our Understanding of Visual Experience" at the European Conference on Visual Perception (#ECVP2025) Project Website + Preprint in link below 👇 @ItalianAcademy @KriegeskorteLab @ZuckermanBrain @columbiacss @ColumbiaScience

Encoding models predict visual responses to novel images in cortical areas. But can these models offer new insights about categorical representations? If so, we should be able to generate new hypotheses from them to be tested in future experiments. @NeurIPSConf #NeurIPS2025 1/15

Had great fun in this conversation! Hope everyone enjoys! Thanks Andrew!

My commentary on @anilkseth's BBS article: https://t.co/onY7lRv2ca. We should bet on functionalism.

How does our brain excel at complex object recognition, yet get fooled by simple illusory contours? What unifying principle governs all Gestalt laws of perceptual organization? We may have an answer: integration of learned priors through feedback. New paper with Ken Miller! 🧵

Incredible initiative!

We're excited to announce that Cog Sci at Dartmouth is recruiting PhD students to work collaboratively between me, Steven Frankland and Fred Callaway. Come study the principles and mechanisms that enable us to understand, plan, and act in the world! Info:

Predictive coding has guided neuroscience for years but it does not account for the neuronal data. We review how patterns of feedback during spatial and temporal predictions are better captured by a family of opposing theories, collectively termed BELIEF. https://t.co/QU22KK7h7y
