Congratulations to Tal Golan and Wenxuan Guo for receiving an award for best paper at the NeurIPS Shared Visual Representations in Human and Machine Intelligence workshop!
The lab welcomes new postdoctoral researcher Paul Linton to the Zuckerman Institute and the Presidential Scholars in Society and Neuroscience Program.
The lab received a new grant from the National Institutes of Health BRAIN Initiative, “Revealing the mechanisms of primate face recognition with synthetic stimulus sets optimized to compare computational models”, in collaboration with Winrich Freiwald’s lab at Rockefeller University.
A new paper "Face dissimilarity judgements are predicted by representational distance in morphable and image-computable models" is now out in PNAS (preprint version available at bioRxiv), led by lab alumni Kamila Jozwik, Jonathan O'Keeffe, and Kate Storrs. Learn more about it here.
Congratulations to graduate student Wenxuan Guo for receiving a named fellowship from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences! Wenxuan's fellowship comes from the Kamel S. Bahary Fellowship Fund.
Congratulations to postdoc JohnMark Taylor for receiving an NIH NRSA fellowship! JohnMark received the fellowship for his project "Fast and Flexible Conjunction Coding in Biological and Artificial Vision."
The lab welcomes new graduate student Veronica Bossio, who joins us through the Neurobiology and Behavior program and will complete a rotation with us this fall.
Congratulations to postdoc Tal Golan for receiving a Revson Senior Fellowship in Biomedical Sciences! Tal received the fellowship for his project "Testing the limits of deep neural network models of biological vision with controversial stimuli."
A new paper "An ecologically motivated image dataset for deep learning yields better models of human vision" is now out in PNAS, in collaboration with Tim Kietzmann's lab at the Donders Institute. Learn more about it here.
A new review paper by postdoc Ruben van Bergen, "Going in circles is the way forward: the role of recurrence in visual inference" is now out in Current Opinion in Neurobiology (preprint version available at arXiv). Learn more about it here.
