We're happy to announce the upcoming Summer School on Neuro-AI. From 17 - 27 June, a fantastic line-up of speakers will take an interdisciplinary deep-dive into the crosstalk between neuroscience, AI and cognitive science. See neuro-ai.eu for more information!

I'm looking for a postdoc to explore the exciting intersection of #AI #neuroscience and #vision in our European Research Council (ERC)-funded #DEEPFUNC project. Like to join our lab? Apply by April 15! uni-giessen.de/karriere/stell…. Please RT to help spread the word.

I'm soon going to be looking for a senior postdoc to join my lab who is interested in transitioning to independence and in building their own group, with a strong background in vision science, cognitive computational neuroscience or visual neuroscience. Please RT 1/3

Feeling humbled and excited that I've received the prestigious Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Award from #DFG! 🥳 This is not just a testimony to my research but to the continuous support of my family, friends, colleagues, and mentors. A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you!

🧠 Announcing the 2024 Brain-Score Benchmarking Competition 📣 This year — we have turned the table! We invite experimentalists and the community at large to expose the explanatory gaps between current models of primate vision and the biological brain. brain-score.org/competition/ 1/

Look at this super exciting lineup we have coming up for our perception talk series in the upcoming summer term Universität Gießen! Already looking forward to all the great talks and discussions.🌌

🚨 Deadline is coming up soon. If you're passionate about working at the intersection of #AI, #neuroscience, and #vision, we'd love to have you join our lab as a #postdoc! 👇

We went for a lab retreat this April. We did many great science things. But the best thing we did was clearly this. Soon to appear on Spotify, stay tuned!

I was pretty busy yesterday answering lovely emails, so am belatedly saying a few things now: What a huge honor, especially to receive this thing with the amazing Doris Tsao and Winrich. What I did was child’s pay compared to the sophisticated work they carried out subsequently.

Super excited to share our recent work on privileged representational axes in biological and artificial neural networks! w/ Nancy Kanwisher @[email protected] Josh McDermott Alex Williams biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What makes humans similar or different to AI? In a new study, led by Florian Mahner and Lukas Muttenthaler and w/ Umut Güçlü, we took a deep look at the factors underlying their representational alignment, with surprising results. arxiv.org/abs/2406.19087 🧵

#CogNeuro seeks unified theories of behavioral, physiological, and mental states. To this aim, our Nature Neuroscience Perspective proposes a new framework centered on #TaskDemands & across-task generalization. nature.com/articles/s4159… w/Alexandra C Schmid Simon Kaplan Chris Baker D.Kravitz🧵

Excited to present findings from my first PhD project with Martin Hebart and Katharina Dobs at #CCN2024 If you're into visual cortex, functional selectivity, and/or representational dimensions, make sure to stop by poster P154 today! 🧠🌈

Fantastic opportunity to work with Daniel and join the amazing Giessen community! 🧠
