Are brains and artificial neural networks converging onto universal representations? There is a seductive idea making the rounds in NeuroAI / machine learning: train systems well enough, and they all converge on the same representation of reality (i.e. a unique world model). We have thoughts™ 1/n

We've posted a new fMRI study of semantic relations (has-part, is-a, made-of, etc.), a key aspect of language. We find that relations are represented in the same brain regions as are other semantic concepts, though voxels tend to be selective for only one relation or another. doi.org/10.64898/202...

I recently created this overview of fMRI datasets for visual reconstruction, aimed at AI/ML people. Originally this was a 2018 post on a now inactive PhD lab blog. I had drafts expanding it for long time and thought now it's about time. RFC and feel free to share :) github.com/seelikat/neu...
