Do world models emerge in neural networks trained for prediction? Generative Adversarial Collaboration (GAC) at #CCN2026

Someone has 3D printed a brain model - complete with activation lights! You can actually upload fMRI data and visualize the activations in real time right there on your desk! youtu.be/yNct2cJM9BQ?... #fmri #neuroscience

I made a BRAIN (with real data)

Excited to announce #CCN2026 satellite event: Modeling and Understanding Human Brain Computation at Scale Organized with Hossein Adeli, Fan Cheng, Andrew Luo, Nikolaus Kriegeskorte Link for details and registration: tinyurl.com/3jf2urze @cogcompneuro.bsky.social

Published @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social with @drewlinsley.bsky.social & @tonyfeng.bsky.social: As vision models scale to human/superhuman accuracy, they’re becoming worse models of primate vision—benchmark engineering isn’t neuroscience. @carneyinstitute.bsky.social @browncopsy.bsky.social

Better artificial intelligence does not mean better models of biology

Deep neural networks (DNNs) once showed increasing alignment with primate perception as they improved on vision benchmarks, raising hopes that advances in artificial intelligence (AI) would naturally ...

CONVERSATIONS ON CONSCIOUSNESS How the CCN Community Can Contribute #CCN2025 on Wednesday 13th (10am 🇪🇺) Livestream link below ➡️ Exploring the possibility of Computational Consciousness Science ➡️ Discussing three Templeton World Charity Foundation Adversarial Collaborations

#CoreCognition #LLM #multimodal #GrowAI We spent 3 years to curate 1503 classic experiments spanning 12 core concepts in human cognitive development and evaluated on 230 MLLMs with 11 different prompts for 5 times to get over 3.8 millions inference data points. A thread (1/n) - #ICML2025 ✅

Finally finish making our website 💐 growing-ai-like-a-child.github.io 🤩 with @carrot0817.bsky.social @marstin.bsky.social @tonyfeng.bsky.social @zoryzhang.bsky.social and many others @growai.bsky.social🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶
