🧠🚨 How does the brain represent what we see? Is visual input transformed to form these representations in similar ways across people and even AI models like DNNs?

We explore these questions using fMRI and large-scale representational alignment analyses.

Convergent transformations of visual representation in brains and models
A fundamental question in cognitive neuroscience is what shapes visual perception: the external world's structure or the brain's internal architecture. Although some perceptual variability can be trac...

🧠 Paper out!

We investigated how hippocampal and cortical ripples support memory during movie watching. We found that:

🎬 Hippocampal ripples mark event boundaries
🧩 Cortical ripples predict later recall

Ripples may help transform real-life experiences into lasting memories!

Movie-watching evokes ripple-like activity within events and at event boundaries
Nature Communications - The neural processes involved in memory formation for realistic experiences remain poorly understood. Here, the authors found that ripple-like activity in the human...

Deep learning models and brains share fascinating parallels in their ability to process and instantly integrate new knowledge.

Join us this year at ICON 2025 to discuss how sudden learning emerges across artificial and biological systems! 🧠🤖
📣 ICON Symposium

Really excited to announce our symposium at @ICON this year on Sudden Learning Across Systems!

Together with lots of cool people: @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social @lindedomingo.bsky.social @ortiztudela.bsky.social @anikaloewe.bsky.social @jazzmaniatico.bsky.social and Andrea Greve!
