our preprint on neural cycle isolation posted on bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110… package is ready to be applied on spiking data with google colab: colab.research.google.com/github/esiabri…

There are plenty of feedback connects in visual cortex, and they contribute to so many perceptual experiences (e.g imagination, de-occlusions, hallucinations), but HOW? In a #NeurIPS2023 paper, we show alignment of the feedback and feedforward is the key! arxiv.org/abs/2310.20599

At #NeurIPS2023 UniReps, I present my work providing insights into why different neural systems produce similar representations despite variations (biological vs artificial, architecture, domain): abstraction coordinate reveals constraints on the representation trajectories

I am eally thrilled to share my first postdoctoral paper out in Nature Communications. Incredible collaborative effort! Many thanks to all the people involved and especially to Marsicano Lab and Lisa Roux (first paper of the lab 🥳). nature.com/articles/s4146…

Heading to #Cosyne2024! Excited to share early reports of our work with Ken Miller "Emergence of illusory contours and shapes in robust deep neural networks by accumulation of implicit priors" Session 3- 161

if you are at #Cosyne2024 and interested in neural oscillations and spikes, stop by my poster tomorrow [2-032]. It is about a time-domain approach to extract the time of single neural cycles from population spiking.

I'll be speaking about how to gain insights into the inner workings of the primate visual cortex through interpretable encoding features at the 'I Can't Believe It's Not Better' workshop, organized by Alex Williams and Cristina Savin CosyneMeeting #Cosyne2024.

Carney Institute for Brain Science’s BrainExPo series is kicking off 2024 with a talk and visit from Tahereh Toosi next week! 🧠 Can’t wait! events.brown.edu/brain-science/…

🎉Excited to share our new eLife - the journal paper! We offer a simple explanation for the peculiar mirror-symmetric viewpoint tuning found in brains and artificial neural networks. Check out the thread for more details! 🧵 doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Heading to VSS Meeting to give a talk and a demo night presentation. Talk: Emergence of illusory contours in robust deep neural networks by accumulation of implicit priors (with Ken Miller) Demo night: How do I see myself if I develop dementia? visionsciences.org/2024-demo-nigh…

Tonight at VSS Meeting Demo night at Jacaranda Hall: How do I see myself if I develop dementia? Inspired by the powerful self-portraits of artist William Utermohlen during his struggles with Alzheimer’s and leveraging our novel inference algorithm for object recognition models

Heading to Boston to present our work with Ken Miller at #CCN2024 CogCompNeuro. 2024.ccneuro.org/poster/?id=224 Also, check out awesome keynote and tutorial by Alex Williams et al on "Quantifying Similarity between Neural Population Codes" 2024.ccneuro.org/k-and-t-quanti…

If you are at SFN do not miss Manal talk tomorrow at 1:15pm titled “Arousal state influence on spontaneous and visually-evoked network activityacross postnatal development” Abstract No.:5808 Session Number:NANO57

Wow. Hopfield model and Boltzmann machine.

Excited that our work is out together with the amazing CoenCagli_Lab and Adam Kohn! We demonstrate how neural co-variability in the visual cortex encodes uncertainty about natural scenes and is adaptively modulated by spatial context! (1/7) Paper link: bit.ly/3IXiU9M

Thrilled to share our Nature Communications paper on Doubly Stochastic Renewal (DSR) for partitioning spiking variability (w/ Chandramouli Chandrasekaran & Tatiana Engel). DSR provides a robust mathematical foundation for modeling latent dynamics. nature.com/articles/s4146…

How does our brain excel at complex object recognition, yet get fooled by simple illusory contours? What unifying principle governs all Gestalt laws of perceptual organization? We may have an answer: integration of learned priors through feedback. New paper with Ken Miller! 🧵
