A long time coming, now out in Nature Machine Intelligence (@NatMachIntell): "Visual representations in the human brain are aligned with large language models." Check it out (and come chat with us about it at CCN).

We managed to integrate brain scans into LLMs for interactive brain reading and more. I think this is a big deal. Check out Vicky's post below for details. Super excited about this one!

🚀 Introducing ImagineArt for Teams - the feature you’ve all been waiting for. Remember when Netflix let you share your account? Yeah… we just did that for AI. First 200 people to comment “ImagineArt” get added to our official ImagineArt Team for Free!

✨ Meet our speakers! ✨ Among our speakers this year at #SNS2025 we have Tim Kietzmann (@TimKietzmann) Read the abstract here 💬 👇 https://t.co/UQj8nPN81j #neuroscience #compneuro #NeuroAI

This is going to revolutionize education 📚 Google just launched "Learn Your Way" that basically takes whatever boring chapter you're supposed to read and rebuilds it around stuff you actually give a damn about. Like if you're into basketball and have to learn Newton's laws,

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!

Do come and talk to us about any of the above and whatever #NeuroAI is on your mind. Excited for this upcoming #CCN2025, and looking forward to exchanging ideas with all of you. All posters can be found here:

And last but not least Fraser Smith's work on understanding how occluded objects are represented in visual cortex. Time: Tuesday, August 12, 1:30 – 4:30 pm Location: A66, de Brug & E‑Hall

On Tuesday, Sushrut's (@martisamuser) Glimpse Prediction Networks will make their debut: a self-supervised deep learning approach for scene-representations that align extremely well with human ventral stream. Time: August 12, 1:30 – 4:30 pm Location: A55, de Brug & E‑Hall

In the "Modeling the Physical Brain" event, I will be speaking about our work on topographic neural networks. Time: Monday, August 11, 11:30 am – 6:00 pm Location: Room A2.07 Paper:

First, Zejin Lu @lu_zejin will talk about how adopting a human developmental visual diet yields robust, shape-based AI vision. Biological inspiration for the win! Talk Time/Location: Monday, 3-6 pm, Room A2.11 Poster Time/Location: Friday, 2-5 pm, C116 at de Brug & E‑Hall

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

Hey @Shutterstock, We recently purchased 200,000 API credits (about 2,000 euros) for your 3D Generative API service ( https://t.co/8NuaAahLDX). The service has been down for nearly a month. Any plans on when you will bring this back online? Thanks!

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

#AI and #computervision folks: this will be interesting to you! Robust visual inference beyond scale, but achieved by taking inspiration from how infant vision develops. Shown to work across many architectures and comes with a neat preprocessing pipeline that you can use.
