What is the nature of universal representations in AI models, and what determines whether they emerge? Our paper accepted at #neurips2026 led by @florianmahner & @andropar addressed these questions comparing 162 vision models, with intriguing results. arxiv.org/abs/2605.13675 👇

1/7 Does the infant brain have representational structure? 👶🧠In the FOUNDCOG project, we scanned 134 awake infants using fMRI. Published in Nature Neuroscience, our research reveals 2-month-old infants already possess complex visual representations in VVC that align with DNNs.

I love this so much. After pushback on his recent "Medicine is the only field that reaches 6 sigma" with "my field, psychophysics is so awesome" he posted this. Hurray all Psychophysicists. LETS CELEBRATE PSYCHOPHYSICS. An island of large effects is us!

Psychophysics is a human-facing science with interventions arguably more robust than medicine. argmin.net/p/1000-hurts

The most complex piece I ever made, the famous Purkinje neuron drawn 100 years ago by Ramon y Cajal. It took me more than 30h of cutting with a scroll saw.

I'm recruiting PhD students to join my new lab in Fall 2026! The Shared Minds Lab at @USC will combine deep learning and ecological human neuroscience to better understand how we communicate our thoughts from one brain to another.

🧠 New preprint: Why do deep neural networks predict brain responses so well? We find a striking dissociation: it’s not shared object recognition. Alignment is driven by sensitivity to texture-like local statistics. 📊 Study: n=57, 624k trials, 5 models doi.org/10.1101/2025.08.29.6…

Folks at #CCN2025, drop by my poster tomorrow to hear about the fun task I have been developing with Roland Fleming, to gauge internal models of diverse physical objects in a controlled way! There will be a demo as well 🕹️ Tuesday, August 12, 1:30 – 4:30 pm, de Brug & E‑Hall

Do DNNs represent images in the same way as the human brain? Our new work in #CCN2025 Proceedings suggests that DNNs and brains only agree on the gist but not the actual details of what a scene looks like. openreview.net/forum?id=DtEe…

OK, time for a CCN runup thread. Let me tell you about all the lab’s projects present at CCN this year. #CCN2025
