Could we understand vision as a type of problem-solving? In this new paper, we develop a computational model that iteratively refines the hypothesis about the visual input with evolutionary search.

How does the brain work?

Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵

Interesting that most dramatic differences between humans in chimpanzees are in temporal cortex and parietal cortex. Very little in prefrontal cortex 😮 (consistent with lots of other studies).

Ex vivo cortical circuits learn to predict and spontaneously replay temporal patterns - Nature Communications
Because the ability to tell time and make predictions anchor much of cognition, it has been proposed that they are computational primitives. Here, authors directly demonstrated that this is the case b...

[📄] Are LLMs mindless token-shifters, or do they build meaningful representations of language? We study how LLMs copy text in-context, and physically separate out two types of induction heads: token heads, which copy literal tokens, and concept heads, which copy word meanings.

Consciousness science is fascinating - and now researchers are starting to study its neural underpinnings deep in the brain 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
How does the brain control consciousness? This deep-brain structure
In a world of constant stimulation, the thalamus filters which thoughts we become aware of and which we don’t.

This paper is pretty incredible! Simultaneous invasive recordings of cortex and thalamus *in humans* during a visual awareness task strongly suggest that HO thalamus plays a gating role in awareness.
