I will also give a short talk on our laterally connected topographical neural network model at the first session of “Modeling the Physical Brain: Spatial Organization and Biophysical Constraints”

talk: Monday, Aug 11, 12:15-12:30pm CET, Room A2.07

@motahareh will present her work on a neural network model of visual search that replicates a wide range of behavioral and neural phenomena while making new predictions about its underlying neural code

poster: C145, Friday, Aug 15, 2-5pm, de Brug & E‑Hall

@maximemdaigle.bsky.social will present his work on using neural networks to decode what and how (non)spatially selective hippocampal neurons encode!

talk: Friday, Aug 15, 12–1pm, Room C1.03

Went over the Centaur paper in lab meeting today. I got stuck on this plot, thinking initially the small difference between Llama and Centaur is bothering me. But the real issue hit me an hour later... Each layer's neural similarity is with the **whole** brain! No single layer is expected to sim 🧠

At #COSYNE2025? Come by Motahareh's poster at 1pm [2-089] if you like to know about how cool her NN model of visual search is! Trained de novo on visual search, its fast, efficient, mimics human behaviour, and has a beautiful neural geometry.
