Tired but happy to say this is out w @andrea_e_martin: Are Neurocognitive Representations 'Small Cakes'? We analyse theories of representation in neuroscience showing how vicious regress, e.g. the homunculus fallacy, is (sadly) alive and well — and importantly how to avoid it. 1/

This course covers a lot of critical NeuroAI ground, check out the materials! A pleasure to guest lecture--always great discussions!

To help computational cognitive scientist engage with more naturalistic experiments, I've made NiceWebRL. NiceWebRL is a Python library for designing human subject experiments that leverage machine reinforcement learning environments. github.com/KempnerInstitu…

didn’t find any cognitive neuroscience meme, so I’ve tried to make one. Original meme by XKCD Comic, I’ve saved some original as I think they fits pretty well

Get to know one of our new fellows, Dr. Martin, from the MaxPlanck-Psycholinguistics. Want to learn more about her research? In a recent paper (Weissbart & Martin, 2024, Nature Communications), she shows that the brain doesn’t just rely on word statistics or grammatical rules — it uses both together

I wrote a blog post about my recent thoughts on the scaling in Computational Cognitive Sciences and AI (CogAI). In this blog, I argue that performance scales more easily than insights by pointing out two bottlenecks. Thoughts and comments are welcome! xhb120633.github.io/blog/performan…
