Now out in Nature Neuroscience: "Fixation duration on natural scenes is explained by memory encoding not processing demand".

Our eyes don't linger because recognition is hard; they linger to remember. Let me take you on a quick tour. 🧵
Thanks for the invite! Really looking forward to this

Our NeuroAI study made it onto the cover of Nature Machine Intelligence ❤️.
In it, we demonstrate that a developmentally-inspired visual diet can drastically improve the robustness of ANN-based vision systems.

open access, open code, open weights, open science.
By combining magnetoencephalography and eye tracking, this study sheds light on why people fixate on some parts of natural scenes longer than others. Rather than visual complexity, fixation durations ...
This is one of the most exciting pieces of science I have had the privilege to be involved in, led by @rui-xu.bsky.social, Bob Desimone, and Mark Richardson: the discovery of actual long-range monosynaptic connections in the human brain! For example the FFA connects to the rTPJ, how cool is that?

After rereading the cool hidden brain paper (www.frontiersin.org/journals/sys...) I decided to make a new version. Code and everything available here:

Most popular: hippocampus. Why are diagonal band, medial geniculate nucleus, and interposed nucleus so unpopular?

In this opinion piece, @duncanastle.bsky.social and I explore the human brain through the lens of optimality and Pareto-optimality theory.
Related memories are sometimes encoded in overlapping neurons. The authors show that the prefrontal cortex controls this type of memory organization in the hippocampus through direct projections to th...
