Super excited about VarunWadia ’s new preprint providing what I think is the most compelling single-neuron evidence for the existence of a generative model in the human brain. Varun first showed that human VTC uses the exact same single-cell coding principles as macaque IT

Super excited about our new result. Thanks to both VarunWadia and Doris Tsao for making this incredible collaboration possible. i'm really happy to see the multi-species convergence of methods and results on the code used by human VTC/macaque IT. Incredible to see a true

NIMH Director search is now open. Country is looking for someone totally devoted to focusing NIH resources on the research that's necessary to develop and test effective treatments for those with mental health disorders. hr.nih.gov/jobs/search/ex…

This new paper spearheaded by Matt Self shows the link between border-ownership tuning in area V4 of the visual cortex and figure-ground signals in area V1, by an analysis of the pattern of noise correlations between neurons in these two cortical areas. nature.com/articles/s4146…

The $3B Human Genome Project was started under a Republican administration and later acknowledged by the Obama admin to have returned $141 to the economy for every $1 spent. Science has a higher ROI than any other category of government spending.

Does anyone have any recommendations for where I can find a really talented blender scripter? Please email me [email protected]

The BRAIN Initiative has been an engine of innovation but is now fighting for its survival. Here we discuss why BRAIN is special and why we must all fight for it now nature.com/articles/s4159… Weizhe Hong Zoe Donaldson Bianca Jones Marlin, PhD Doris Tsao Moriel Zelikowsky Hongkui Zeng XiaokeChen ZivWilliams

Thank you Nicole C Rust, PhD for giving such a beautiful, inspiring talk and leading the discussion afterwards that made us all think outside our comfort zone. Really looking forward to continuing this conversation!

100% agree with David A. Markowitz 's vision. But I would be much more specific in the lesson learned from the fly connectome revolution: we need to generate a *dense axonal projectome of the primate brain* NOW. This will give us the key sine qua non puzzle pieces to figure out

I, and every scientist I've talked to, believe the end result of this devastating cut will be that Universities will simply pass on the buck to investigators. Many of us fervently agree that university administrations & bureaucracy should be downsized and reformed. This maneuver

Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. NIH #1 - no question. It's clear how breakthroughs in biotech and AI are changing things in meaningful ways for patients. Doris Tsao Tony Zador unpacked summarized some of that it in this piece (wrt BRAIN cuts). It's time in invest not divest!! dcjournal.com/critical-brain…

No words for this senseless collective punishment

How does the brain integrate prior knowledge with sensory data to perceive the world? Come check out our poster [1-090] at #cosyne2025: "A feedback mechanism in generative networks to remove visual degradation," joint work with Yuelin Shi, Prof. Anima Anandkumar, and Doris Tsao. 1/2

The veil is off. Cutting NSF Graduate Fellowships by half is a pure attack on science. If you believe in meritocracy, this is it. If you believe in STEM, this is where it starts. If you believe in Making America Great Again, this is what it looks like.

Finally an LLM that fails the Turing Test!

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!
