Just finished my metareviews for #CogSci2026 . I've been really impressed by the quality of the reviews! Thoughtful, polite, zero AI slop. Thanks all for taking the time to read the papers and provide insightful comments.
With @evfedorenko.bsky.social as co-senior, @ruimingao.bsky.social as first, and a lovely team of authors who helped carry this project through the years (Chandler Cheung, Matthew Siegelman, Alvincé Pongos,
@hopekean.bsky.social , Alyx Tanner)
🧠We are looking for enthusiastic postdoctoral researchers working at the intersection of machine learning, neuroscience, and embodied intelligence. Please help spread the word! 🚀
🚨New preprint alert! 🚨
Do multimodal LLMs (VLMs) reason about high-level visual perception like humans do? We asked over 2000 human observers and 18 VLMs to describe scenes using 15 different tasks, ranging from general knowledge, affordances, affect, sensory experiences, and future prediction. 1/
Our workshop on LLMs, Cognitive Science, Linguistics, and Neuroscience explored why LLM capabilities in logic and reasoning lag behind their linguistic capacity, and how a different model — the human brain — could point the way forward.

Excited to share new work on how the brain makes social inferences from visual input! 🧠👯♂️

Professor Anina Rich was presenting her work on decoding the temporal profiles of synaesthetic versus real colours - how can we use MEG to assess different theories of synaesthesia?
