New preprint demonstrating that expertise emerges when the brain uncovers a domain’s latent structure and reshapes its representational space to express it efficiently. 👇
Super excited to share a new preprint!
We asked a simple-but-big question:
What changes in the brain when someone becomes an expert?
Using chess ♟️ + fMRI 🧠 + representational geometry & dimensionality 📈, we ask:
1️⃣ WHAT information is encoded?
2️⃣ HOW is it structured?
3️⃣ WHERE is it expressed?

EEG + fMRI + smart design = deeper insight into the spatiotemporal dynamics of object representations 👇
New paper (and thread) on the representational dynamics of the main dimensions of object space: jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx... 1/n

Exciting DNN work from our colleagues at @hansopdebeeck.bsky.social’s lab 👇
It's finally out! Our work with @hansopdebeeck.bsky.social & @costantinoai.bsky.social is published.
We went looking for dissociations between types of recurrence in DNNs, but we found something quite different.. hopefully that can tell us somehting about our models!

Just landed here 👋
We’re NeuroSPACE, a KU Leuven Methusalem project bringing together 4 labs to explore how the brain combines domain-specific knowledge with domain-general cognitive abilities to shape human behavior.
Excited to share our science and to connect with other curious minds here!
