A great honor to have talked with Sarah Crespi about our latest work! Full podcast: scim.ag/79w (from 13 minutes on) More personally, you can learn about the joint trajectory of MarinVogelsang and me here: science.org/content/articl… (see 'protostar' section at the bottom).

And for a more general review exploring how these constraints bootstrap the development of visual perception, check out our paper here! x.com/vayzenberg90/s…

New paper in Dev Review on how we learn to imitate facial expressions. We talk about how acoustics tells you about the facial expression of the person talking- and how this helps babies learn to imitate. By Narain Viswanathan, Carina de Klerk, Louise Goupil tinyurl.com/ycyks96w

From womb to world, and the wonders of early development. Years in the making, our new review paper is finally out! Congrats to Staci Meredith Ezra Aydin Check out our research PIPKIN Cam Cambridge Babylab #newborn #baby #development nature.com/articles/s4156…

I’m thrilled to be joining Carnegie Mellon University’s Machine Learning Department (Machine Learning Dept. at Carnegie Mellon) as an Assistant Professor this Fall! My lab will work at the intersection of neuroscience & AI to reverse-engineer animal intelligence and build the next generation of autonomous agents. Learn

Looking forward to CogCompNeuro #CCN2024! Should you be interested to learn about our most recent computational work on early visual development, feel free to come to our poster (B93, Thursday, 1.30pm) and say hi! 2024.ccneuro.org/poster/?id=178

Sign up for IICCSSS 2024!🚨 From 9.-13. September in the Coxi hub OSNABRÜCK! We plan an amazing event with workshops, projects, lab tours & speakers from academia (EPFL, MPI & more) & industry (DeepMind, IBM Research). Free registration (€20 deposit) iiccsss.org/program/

Computational cognitive neuroscience #ccn2025, will be in Amsterdam from 12 until the 15th of August. Co-chairs me and @iris_groen. So looking forward to it already!

Join us! FreezeMotion PhD and Postdoc Vacancies in Deep Neural Networks for Medical Imaging. Brain development in infants and its disruption by preterm birth or perinatal injury, can be measured with functional MRI (fMRI).
