We are so excited to share the first work that demonstrates consistent downstream improvements for language tasks after fine-tuning with brain data!! Improving semantic understanding in speech language models via brain-tuning arxiv.org/abs/2410.09230 W/ Dietrich Klakow, Mariya Toneva

Web of Science, the index responsible for Journal Impact Factors, has paused indexing eLife Versions of Record as they reevaluate our model against their editorial evaluation criteria. We continue to be fully indexed in all other major scholarly indexes. elifesciences.org/inside-elife/1…

After a great conference in Boston, CCN is going to take place in Amsterdam in 2025! To help the exchange of ideas between neuroscience, cognitive science, and AI, CCN will for the first time have full length paper submissions (alongside the established 2 pagers)! Info below👇

Thanks to all the fans who voted for me! What a day! P8!

Job alert! We are now looking for a PhD student starting Sept 2025, for a project on visual relations between people and objects, using behavior, EEG, fMRI, and ANNs. Bonus: The project involves a collaboration with the brilliant Liuba Papeo. Please forward or get in touch! 🧠🎓

Happy Chinese New Year, My Friends!!

New preprint! 🧠🤖 Brain encoding in 21 languages! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… w/ Saima Malik-Moraleda, Greta Tuckute, and Ev (like in 'evidence', not Eve) Fedorenko 🇺🇦 (1/)

The call is out! Up to three years of a generously funded postdoc fellowship in Israel. DM me if you'd like to work on an application together. azrielifoundation.org/azrieli-fellow…

Wow! Glad to see Ziyao Zhang did this! Hope this idea can make WM studies more ecological and more interesting 😋!

So excited to share our new paper in JEP:HPP APA Journals with former undergrad mentee AvA Ran and Julie Golomb! Check how we apply a super interesting design to investigate object-location binding of a moving object!

We are excited to share our new work on Nature Human Behaviour. We used neural population geometry to analyze the population representation changes before and after learning. A new theory of manifold shrinkage is proposed and tested in both Deep Neural Networks, humans, and macaques.

Share the new preprint working with Yuxuan Zeng and David Osher! We demonstrate That holistic processing, commonly associated with face processing can be induced using configural, nonface stimuli! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Also! Share my another recent preprint - We test category-selective neurons in both purely visual and visual-language models! doi.org/10.48550/arXiv…

NSD has profoundly shaped vision science. Inspired by it, we combined fMRI and Neuropixels to build a macaque dataset with 1,000 natural images. We’re excited to share Triple-N and welcome feedback from the community!

What are the organizing dimensions of language processing? We show that voxel responses are organized along 2 main axes: processing difficulty & meaning abstractness—revealing an interpretable, topographic representational basis for language processing shared across individuals.
