🌟New preprint with Lynn Sörensen and James DiCarlo When animals learn new object discrimination tasks, how much does their IT cortex change? In their untrained state, animals can still see objects but can’t attach labels—so we don’t expect the ventral stream to fully

Another turning point from Parma Neuroscience: "neuroethological approaches are better suited to unveil the neural bases of behavior." Congratulations to Luca Bonini and his group! science.org/doi/abs/10.112…

🚨🚨🚨 New Dataset out! Today we release the THINGS Ventral-stream Spiking Dataset (TVSD) to become part of Martin Hebart's THINGS initiative! In a Neuron paper out today with Feng Wang, Matthew Self and Pieter Roelfsema, we describe the dataset in detail More info 👇

🧠1/5 New study challenges modular view of visual processing! academic.oup.com/brain/advance-… Analysis of 307 stroke patients shows mid-level visual processing are distributed across neural networks rather than confined to specific brain regions.

Really excited to share the first project of my PhD with Stanford VPNL (stanfordvpnl.bsky.social), kalatwit , Dawn Finzi, and Justin Choo! I examined pRFs in high-level category-selective regions and how they develop in adolescence. 🧵Thread below & preprint up on biorxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to see this paper, led by powerhouse Colin Conwell, finally out! In this work, we wanted to understand the puzzling relationship between seeing & feeling: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

We don’t talk enough about the emotional labour of holding back a hilarious pun from a serious article

.Emily Kubota et al. find that white matter connections of ventral temporal cortex are innately organized by cytoarchitecture, category, and eccentricity from birth, and develop in parallel from infancy to adulthood. Stanford VPNL (stanfordvpnl.bsky.social) nature.com/articles/s4156…

you ever been so stressed that you’re calm

Me: “I’d like to stay calm in anxious situations” Brain: “best I can do is anxious in calm situations”

50% of adulting is basically you trying not to cry

In a study now out in eLife - the journal, Georgin Jacob Pramod RT/ಪ್ರಮೋದ್ ರಾ ತಾ and I have some exciting results: a novel computation that helps the brain solve disparate visual tasks, a novel brain region that performs this computation....what's not to like?!
