Really enjoyed the symposium, the great discussions and being back in Tuebingen! Thanks for having me!
Highly recommended: I really enjoyed NEAT, every time I attended. Great opportunity to catch up on #NeuroAI, especially for those who can't make it to CCN!
Excellent opportunity to join our wonderful vision science / cognitive neuroscience community in Giessen! Application deadline is tomorrow! 🚀
It's #VSS2026 time! We're super excited to be back and presenting some exciting, ongoing projects in the lab. Come by and say hi! 🤗
Category selectivity vs. behavioral relevance in visual cortex? 👁️🧠
@levandyck.bsky.social and I really enjoyed diving into this piece and appreciated the authors’ thoughtful response. We're curious to see how the field moves forward from here! ➡️
We talk a lot about faces and bodies in cog neuro, but a person is both.
So how segregated are face and body representations in human visual cortex? When, and why, do they get integrated?
Check out Lenny’s new preprint using DNNs and fMRI encoding models to tackle exactly that question 👇
#NeuroAI
Dimensionality reduction may be the wrong approach to understanding neural representations. Our new paper shows that across human visual cortex, dimensionality is unbounded and scales with dataset size—we show this across nearly four orders of magnitude. journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...
📢 Workshop announcement.
We are super excited to announce the workshop Perceptual Inferences, from philosophy to neuroscience, organized by Alexander Schütz and Daniel Kaiser.
📍 Rauischholzhausen Castle, near Marburg, Germany

Happy to announce the 3rd iteration of NEAT (Neuro-AI-Talks), which will take place in Osnabrück September 14th-15th 2026.
NEAT is a (deliberately small scale) NeuroAI workshop that brings together researchers from neuroscience and AI.

We are thankful for the thoughtful commentaries of our colleagues. In our discussion article, we argued for a course correction to how the field approaches the organization of visual function in oc...
How segregated vs. integrated are face and body representations in human visual cortex?
In this new preprint with @kathadobs.bsky.social, we use DNNs and fMRI to find out.
