Women aren't only underpaid because they end up in less lucrative careers than men. Data on >25M people across 15 countries: Women make less than men in the same job—and that accounts for about half the overall gender pay gap. Equal work deserves equal pay. Full stop.

Modeling the Role of the Alpha Rhythm in Attentional Processing during Distractor Suppression
direct.mit.edu
Abstract. Recent experimental results suggest that alpha oscillations in brain neuroelectrical activity do not merely represent an idling phenomenon but actively participate in attention to suppress...

Representing Visual Objects, Attention, and Load in Human Occipito-temporal and Posterior Parietal Cortices
direct.mit.edu
Abstract. Stability and adaptability are two essential components of everyday vision, enabling us to maintain an object's identity as we attend to different features under varying task loads. We...

Attention Modulates Stimulus Representations in Neural Feature Dimension Maps
direct.mit.edu
Abstract. Computational theories posit that attention is guided by a combination of spatial maps for individual features that can be dynamically weighted according to task goals. Consistent with this...

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! 🧵

Zach did a stellar job on our new paper looking at what recipes make for language models that are representationally aligned with humans! Read his tweetprint and recruit him for grad school!
We’re drowning in language models — there are over 2 mil. of them on Huggingface! Can we use some of them to understand which computational ingredients — architecture, scale, post-training, etc. – help us build models that align with human representations? Read on to find out 🧵

(1/8) My latest study is out in @Nature ! Kudos to coauthors especially @jess_cardin and to @KavliAtYale and @WuTsaiYale for support. We find that gamma power in mouse visual cortex is caused by brief events supporting visual processing
