New paper w/ the brilliant Oded Wertheimer suggests a new computational framework for ASD variation, framing it as a computational trade-off between precise signal encoding and fast adaptation to changes, driven by neuronal dynamic range. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Inspiring work on the computational basis of ASD at the neuronal level. Go get it while it's fresh!

Excited to share our new preprint on the effect of low-dimensional task similarities on representation learning in brains and neural networks!

New preprint! 🧵 Are perception and memory fundamentally independent processes, or are they overlapping and impossible to disentangle? We turn to the well studied face system to ask this question, using a new task and 4 datasets with 800+ participants. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

[PREPRINT❗️❗️] Very excited to share our latest work on precision mapping of brain networks exclusively using task data! 🧠 With Maxwell Elliott Joanna Ladopoulou Mark Eldaief and Randy Buckner biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/6)

Beautiful and important work addressing the role of hippocampal ripples in memory reinstatement.

🧠New Viewpoint: Thinking as Analogy-Making: Toward a Neural Process Account of General Intelligence🔗jneurosci.org/content/45/18/… I outline that neural structure mapping - abstracting and reasoning based on relational knowledge - may play a key role in general intelligence

Our work together with DoellerLab, Patrick Haggard, Simone Viganò, Daniel Reznik in Nature Communications!

Our new paper is out Cell Reports! Rebekka Tenderra Rebekka Tenderra et al show that intelligence is linked to interindividual differences in relational integration in hippocampal cognitive maps, supporting an information processing based view on intelligence: cell.com/cell-reports/f…
