On July 6th will open the final Algonauts challenge phase, which will test the out-of-distribution generalization of your models, and determine the challenge winners.

We look forward to your submissions!

Vision Deep Neural Networks and Large Language Models complement each other in predicting EEG responses to images, providing a more accurate model of the time course of visuo-semantic processing in the human brain.

The time course of visuo-semantic representations in the human brain is captured by combining vision and language models
The human visual system provides us with a rich and meaningful percept of the world, transforming retinal signals into visuo-semantic representations. For a model of these representations, here we lev...

Using in silico neuroscience, @alessandrogifford.bsky.social et al. developed a neural control algorithm to modulate the representational relationships between visual cortical areas, revealing how these areas jointly represent the world as an interconnected network.

(1/7) NSD-synthetic is out!

NSD-synthetic enables strict out-of-distribution generalization tests critical for the development of more robust models of visual processing and the formulation of more accurate theories of human vision.
