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 @zejinlu.bsky.social @sushrutthorat.bsky.social and Radek Cichy arxiv.org/abs/2507.03168

For the past couple of years I met weekly with 3 amazing younger scientists @lilweb.bsky.social @debyee.bsky.social @rikepetzschner.bsky.social to share ideas and teach each other. No agenda. It was often the favorite part of my week. Then we started writing. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Refining the Allostatic Self-Efficacy Theory of Fatigue and Depression Using Causal Inference

Allostatic self-efficacy (ASE) represents a computational theory of fatigue and depression. In brief, it postulates that (i) fatigue is a feeling state triggered by a metacognitive diagnosis of loss o...

Published! Forgot to share, but @samhforbes.bsky.social reminded me! 😊 I really hope people engage with this because it's so widespread not to be willing to teach women, including a lot of self harming ideas and of course more external sexism. doi.org/10.5117/TVGN...

Excited to share this short & sweet article I wrote with @samhforbes.bsky.social! Teaching coding inclusively: if this, then what? doi.org/10.31235/osf... The title perhaps says it all; we show through arguments and examples what women experience in programming class and what to do to remedy it.

1/ Here's a critical problem that the #neuroai field is going to have to contend with: Increasingly, it looks like neural networks converge on the same representational structures - regardless of their specific losses and architectures - as long as they're big and trained on real world data. 🧠📈 🧪

Had an absolute blast as always at #CPCZurich2024 - thanks so much to everyone who came to my DCM for Evoked Responses tutorials yesterday 🙏🧠
