I will recruit a PhD student through ELLIS to join our chair at the Artificial and Natural Intelligence Toulouse Institute (France) @ANITI_Toulouse to work in Neuro-AI and/or X-AI. Details about the institute can be found at The student will work closely.

📢 Our takeaway: To truly model biological vision, vision science must diverge from conventional AI approaches and develop deep learning methods tailored to the intricacies of biological visual systems.

🧠 This divergence suggests that DNNs may adopt visual strategies differing from those used by primates, as highlighted in our previous work on harmonization.

🔍 Key finding: As DNNs achieve human or superhuman accuracy, their alignment with primate vision plateaus—and in some cases, deteriorates.

🚨 New preprint alert!.Our latest review/opinion, led by @DrewLinsley, examines how deep neural networks (DNNs) optimized for image categorization align with primate vision, using neural and behavioral benchmarks.

Matt was an exceptional grad student (some years ago), and I cannot recommend him enough. This is the place to go if you're looking for a PhD or postdoctoral position and are interested in dynamical models and/or omics data. And this is in Paris. Best city in the world 😉.

Highlights:.•Monkeys employed simulation to predict the path of a ball while playing “Planko”.•Monkeys’ strategies matched RNNs that learned a simulation-based task approach.•fMRI showed motion-sensitive brain activity during visual simulation in monkeys.•These results.

Our work on mental simulation in monkeys and RNNs just got published! This was a fantastic collaboration between the Sheinberg lab and @TheresasTree on the experimental side and our group, with @alekhka leading the computational work. Funded in part by a Zimmerman Innovation

Looking first to having you as a colleague @SerenaLBooth.

Thanks @CarneyInstitute for running this story on our work with @DrewLinsley @Napoolar @s_ramach and twitter-less Sahar Shahamatdar.

Congrats @sindy_loewe for an excellent thesis defense! I enjoyed your defense for the science of course but also the ceremonial surrounding Dutch thesis defenses. Thanks for having me on your committee!
