🚨 We just updated our perspective on representational alignment. This version is more crisp and more comprehensive. We try to find common language across research disciplines for aligning the representations from different info processing systems! 🧠🤖 arxiv.org/abs/2310.13018

New paper from our lab, by Mark Saddler, using machine learning to test the role of temporal coding in hearing. Here is a quick summary. (1/n) nature.com/articles/s4146… MIT Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences McGovern Institute CBMM MIT Science

1/n LLMs learn to represent numbers by predicting tokens in text. This poses a challenge: depending on context, the same set of digits can be treated as a number or a string. Given this duality, we ask what is a number in the eyes of an LLM? Is it a string or an integer? Or both?

Join us this Monday to celebrate 10+ years of the Presidential Scholars in Society and Neuroscience program! We'll reflect on the past, present, and future of interdisciplinary collaboration in neuroscience and beyond. RSVP: tinyurl.com/2jya6pfn

We are recruiting postdoctoral researchers to join an exciting research program focused on large-scale behavioral experiments. Come build and explore your own experimental social networks with us! jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/672009/pos…

I am proud to share that my PhD student Harin Lee co-supervised by Marc Schönwiesner, has won the student best paper award at #ICMPC! icmpc2025.abcogmus.com/conteudo/view?… you are interested in doing cutting edge work on music and culture consider joining us at COCOCOlab
