Excited to share our #Cosyne2026 workshop "Efficient coding in the modern age" w/ @s-azeglio.bsky.social & Pietro Zamberlan! We'll discuss how the efficient coding framework extends to dynamic and context dependent settings, and how it fails. For more info see shorturl.at/QmN60 See you there!

Presenting on contingency representations in PFC during WM on Saturday at SfN! Featuring fMRI and multi-area RNN modeling from my time with John Murray 🤓 And, recruiting a PhD student for Fall ‘26 in my new lab at U-Miami! Check us out here, and feel free to reach out: jam-lab.org (apps due 12/1)

In many brain areas, neuronal tuning is heterogeneous. But how does this diversity help behavior? We show how tuning diversity shapes representational geometry and boosts coding efficiency for perception in our new preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (w/ @sueyeonchung.bsky.social&Tony Movshon)

Variations in neuronal selectivity create efficient representational geometries for perception

Our visual capabilities depend on neural response properties in visual areas of our brains. Neurons exhibit a wide variety of selective response properties, but the reasons for this diversity are unkn...
