Very exciting preprint from Dan Yamins' NeuroAI lab, proposing Probabilistic Structure Integration (PSI), a way to bootstrap from pixels to higher-level visual abstractions through a kind of visual prompting. One of the deepest and most original ideas I've read in a while.

World Modeling with Probabilistic Structure Integration
We present Probabilistic Structure Integration (PSI), a system for learning richly controllable and flexibly promptable world models from data. PSI consists of a three-step cycle. The first step, Prob...

I've been arguing that #NeuroAI should model the brain in health *and* in disease -- very excited to share a first step from Melika Honarmand: inducing dyslexia in vision-language-models via targeted perturbations of visual-word-form units (analogous to human VWFA) 🧠🤖🧪 arxiv.org/abs/2509.24597
