New perspective in Nature Reviews Psychology: human intelligence is a matter of scale of information processing, not genetic changes to one domain. Implications for AI, evolution, and development. - with @CantlonLab rdcu.be/dDoBt



Can you see the square in yellow? What about the circle, in blue lines? But how does that work? Researchers will use the recently awarded NWO Nieuws to bring the only European 3-photon microscope 🔬 suitable for macaques, to the Netherlands: 👉 ru.nl/en/donders-ins…



Excited to uncover the mechanistic basis of feedback-driven computations in the cortex, inspired by connectomic and functional data supported by an ERC Consolidator Grant #ERCCoG. Thank you for the support European Research Council (ERC)

Very happy that this work is now published in eLife! We find that humans are unique in the way they encode pairs of stimuli, in the context of symbol-object relations. If you've learned that A->B, you spontaneously generalize it to B->A! The full story : elifesciences.org/articles/87380


Today is amazing grad student Paul LaFosse's last lab meeting. Here's cool data he showed: Paul used 2p holographic optogenetics (laser stim) to select and stimulate this neuron in a working brain. This ability to change neural activity is key to understanding. (hey Chris Olah)
