Hey #VSS2023 Come join us for the Canadian Vision Science Social 🇨🇦 on Sunday May 21st 12:30 – 2:30, Sabal/Sawgrass. Thanks to VISTA @ YorkU and Centre for Vision Research for sponsoring the lunch and free beverage ticket! 🍔🌭🥙🥗🍦(🎟️ = 🍺) See you there! 👀

Undergraduate student Yara Iskandar from the VISTA lab of Peter Kohler speaks on the Spatial Mechanisms Mediating Visual Responses to Symmetries in Textures at #VSS2023! #visionscience #symmetries #undergrads VISTA @ YorkU Centre for Vision Research

Second VSS talk from the Kohler Visual Neuroscience Lab, and first in-person. Would have been hard to believe when I went to my first VSS fifteen years ago. ❤️ #VSS2023

They been pushing this VR shit for a decade now. Putting billions into it. People dont want that shit. So much for "let the market decide" They see a path to being able to control more aspects of our lives in a more efficient way As with AI, theyre prepared to lose billions

Please share - and hope to see you in Copenhagen

This is bleak. Feels like we should be better than this.

Recent talk at Centre for Vision Research: The awesome Brad Wyble @[email protected] spoke to us about "Building compositional memories from latent spaces in a generative model". Wonderful clear and engaging presentation, great intro by Doug Crawford, and fantastic audience questions throughout.

I was on that bridge today, and while I can only speak for my own experience, I saw: 1) Many Jews proudly marching, and centering their religion 2) The crowd of Muslims and Christians around them responding with love and appreciation every time they did so

From York University: how do neurons react when presented with images that violate known patterns (mouse model)? Answer: responses evolve differently when compared to pattern-matching images. SfN Journals: bit.ly/49TbI7W Allen Institute CIFAR @SfNTweets

Who doesn’t like a good model of the brain? Yet, from simple regression to artificial networks, some limitations keep popping up (eg, overfitting). Michael Wolff & I saw some cool but puzzling data, ran a quick analysis, and found 1 such limitation: model mimicry. Tweeprint 🚨 1/N
