A glimpse at what #NeuroAI brain models might enable: a topographic vision model predicts stimulation patterns that steer complex object recognition behavior in primates. This could be a key 'software' component for visual prosthetic hardware 🧠🤖🧪

Five enduring, in-lab VR results (w/ @stanfordvr.bsky.social): (1) presence depends on activity, (2) self-avatars shape behavior, (3) VR better for procedural than abstract learning,(4) body tracking is powerful but privacy-risky, (5) people underestimate VR distance.

A new Science study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow distinct rules.
The results challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain learns and adapts behavior. scim.ag/3YQdUZK #SciencePerspective

Can we simultaneously learn transformation-invariant and transformation-equivariant representations with self-supervised learning?
TL;DR Yes! This is possible via simple predictive learning & architectural inductive biases – without extra loss terms and predictors!

For understanding learning in neocortex 🧠, self-supervised learning 🤖 is interesting, but has several shortcomings.
Seq-JEPA is a step in the right direction. It learns by predicting sensory outcomes from series of interactions. Cool things emerged! 👇with @shahabbakht.bsky.social
