Do we need a Nature paper for that?

Language models cannot reliably distinguish belief from knowledge and fact

Language models cannot reliably distinguish belief from knowledge and fact - Nature Machine Intelligence
Suzgun et al. find that current large language models cannot reliably distinguish between belief, knowledge and fact, raising concerns for their use in healthcare, law and journalism, where such disti...

Introducing CorText: a framework that fuses brain data directly into a large language model, allowing for interactive neural readout using natural language.

tl;dr: you can now chat with a brain scan 🧠💬

The brilliant @kasiamojescik.bsky.social and Martha McGill join @claudiahammond.bsky.social and @catherineloveday.bsky.social on BBC Radio 4 All in the Mind this morning to launch our new public survey of vivid memories. You can take part here: cambridge.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
BBC Radio 4 - All in the Mind, Are there multiple subtypes of autism, and how vivid are your memories?
A new study suggests that autism’s genetic profile differs with age at diagnosis.

Why do brain networks vary? Do these differences shape behavior? If every 🧠 is unique, how can we detect common features of brain organization?

Vacancy alert! Prof. Ineke van der Ham and I are looking for a post-doc (from early 2026 on). For this project we aim to investigate why some individuals often get lost: a condition recently coined atopia. The project involves behavioral, eye tracking and potentially fMRI. See dewegkwijt.com

Elke schooldag staat leren centraal. Gek eigenlijk dat er geen vakken zijn die je leren hoe je dit het beste aanpakt. In een nieuwe Klokhuis-aflevering geven Erik Scherder (vanaf een sportveld) en ik (vanuit onze Sylvius VR labs) tips om je te leren leren: hetklokhuis.nl/tv-uitzendin...

In our Trends in Cogn Sci paper we point to the connectivity crisis in task-based human EEG/MEG research: many connectivity metrics, too little replication. Time for community-wide benchmarking to build robust, generalisable measures across labs & tasks. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Confronting the connectivity crisis in human M/EEG research
The cognitive neuroscience community using M/EEG has not converged on measures of task-related inter-regional brain connectivity that generalize acros…

New preprint out together with @mheilbron.bsky.social

We find that a stimulus' representational magnitude—the L2 norm of its DNN representation—predicts intrinsic memorability not just for images, but for words too.

Representational magnitude as a geometric signature of image and word memorability
What makes some stimuli more memorable than others? While memory varies across individuals, research shows that some items are intrinsically more memorable, a property quantifiable as “memorability”. ...
