New Paper: Continuous Thought Machines 🧠 Neurons in brains use timing and synchronization in the way that they compute, but this is largely ignored in modern neural nets. We believe neural timing is key for the flexibility and adaptability of biological intelligence. We

Just arrived at VSS Meeting with the newest results from our lab! Looking forward to discussions with all friends and any feedback for our works!

Poster 451 this morning for Baoqi’s work on food representation in macaque brain!

Poster 436 this morning for Xieyi’s work on separated and integrated processing of shape and texture in IT cortex!

First first-author paper now in Science Magazine! Great thanks to incredible mentor Reza Shadmehr and coauthors Alden Shoup Paul Hage Hisham Elseweifi. We asked how neurons in the cerebellar cortex control rapid eye movements (saccades). 1/3 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Getting back from VSS Meeting with unforgettable and fruitful memories - now taking train to Beijing from HongKong, way more relaxing for someone who hates flying like me

Online now: Adaptive reinforcement learning is causally supported by anterior cingulate cortex and striatum dlvr.it/TLH4nW

The website for my new research sector is now online! anc.qst.go.jp/en/research-se…

What shapes the topography of high-level visual cortex? Excited to share a new pre-print addressing this question with connectivity-constrained interactive topographic networks, titled "Retinotopic scaffolding of high-level vision", w/ Marlene Behrmann & David Plaut. 🧵 ↓ 1/n

How is high-level visual cortex organized? In a new preprint with Martin Hebart & Katharina Dobs, we show that category-selective areas encode a rich, multidimensional feature space 🌈 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵 1/n

My postdoc work "Unsupervised pretraining in biological neural networks" is out now, along with more than 400GB (milliions neurons) neural data. nature.com/articles/s4158…. Figshare and Github links can be found in the paper.

I'm thrilled to announce that our work to develop the Neuropixels-NHP 1.0 neural recording probe is now out in print in Nature Neuroscience. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Excited to share our new paper: Spatial Reorganization of Object Representations in High-Level Visual Cortex Distinguishes Working Memory from Perception biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Exciting new preprint from the lab: “Adopting a human developmental visual diet yields robust, shape-based AI vision”. A most wonderful case where brain inspiration massively improved AI solutions. Work with Zejin Lu | 陆泽金 Sushrut Thorat and Radoslaw Cichy arxiv.org/abs/2507.03168

Thrilled to share our new Nature Communications paper examining the developmental mechanisms of emotion understanding in children— from perceptual processing to conceptual knowledge. Led by Shuran Huang & honored to collaborate with the brilliant Seth Pollak Seth Pollak Child Emotion Research Lab.
