Two weeks left to sign up for Re:vision! Let's figure out how well visual neuroscience findings replicate! Participants can: - become a coauthor on the paper - win cash prizes up to $2500 - use your replication to write a separate paper. Sign up now, it's super easy: re-vision-initiative.org

(1/2) We’re excited to announce the Algonauts Project Challenge 2027 with CNeuroMod: How The Human Brain Makes Sense of Video Games 🎮 🧠 Launching end of 2026. Top 3 teams will present at CCN 2027 in Edinburgh. algonautsproject.com/2027/ #Algonauts2027 #NeuroAI #CompNeuro #fMRI

(1/6) Do our visual neuroscience findings actually replicate? And do they generalize beyond the datasets they were found in? We've lauched re:vision, a community-driven initiative to answer these questions, and we are looking for scientistis to participate. re-vision-initiative.org

We are excited to open the re:vision initiative, a community-driven initiative for replicating and generalizing findings in visual neuroscience, based on the LAION-fMRI dataset. re-vision-initiative.org Why this initiative and why would you want to participate? 🧵

Today at #VSS2026 we are introducing re:vision, a community driven replication/generalization initiative based on our newly released LAION-fMRI dataset. Come to the satellite at 2pm to learn more about it & why you may want to participate! The room Blue Heron is in the upstairs region of the lobby.

This morning at #VSS2026, our lab has two poster presentations. Come and pay us a visit! One poster is by @tonghezhuang.bsky.social on what we term representational relevance: can we quantify how important different stimulus contents are in our mental representations? Poster 315 in the Breezeway…1/2

New paper explores the neural correlates of gait sequence interruptions with a deep phenotyping approach in #Parkinsons, that is translational & can "easily be generalized to the analysis of other complex movement disorders" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Feedback of peripheral saccade targets to early foveal cortex

Low-level features of peripheral saccade targets are fed back to early foveal retinotopic cortex in a signal that resembles activation elicited by direct foveal presentation.

We make about 3-4 fast eye movements a second, yet our world appears stable. How is this possible? In a preprint led by @lucakaemmer.bsky.social we test the intriguing idea that anticipatory signals in the fovea may explain visual stability. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Investigating individual-specific topographic organization has traditionally been a resource-intensive and time-consuming process. But what if we could map visual cortex organization in thousands of brains? Here we offer the community with a toolbox that can do just that! tinyurl.com/deepretinotopy

Very much looking forward to #CCN2025! Would love to see you at our lab's talks and posters, and meet me at the panel discussion in the Algonauts session on Wednesday!

High-level visual representations in the human brain are aligned with large language models - Nature Machine Intelligence

Doerig, Kietzmann and colleagues show that the brain’s response to visual scenes can be modelled using language-based AI representations. By linking brain activity to caption-based embeddings from lar...
