Do people's internal representations of natural objects differ? We (@ericschulz.bsky.social) show so by incorporating idiosyncrasies into neural nets to create better models of human behavior. We also reliably extract idiosyncrasies and map them to demographics. More: osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/pxt9a

Very happy to see this pre-print out. Our first step towards incorporating individual differences when aligning neural network representations to diverse crowds.
