🎄🎅Exciting Xmas present unveiling☃️🎁 As a researcher in crossmodal learning & HRI, I'm thrilled to announce my new journey as an Assistant Professor/UK lecturer in the Dept. of Psych at the University of Surrey🇬🇧 (2024) - the birthplace of the McGurk effect! My lab will focus…
New research has found that our brains react more strongly to imagined faces on objects - pareidolia - than gazes from real faces. This could mean that advertisers use this method to draw our attention in the near future by incorporating face-like arrangements with prominent…

So excited to share that DeepPrep is now online in @naturemethods! 🚀 It’s 10× faster than the SOTA pipeline and more robust in handling clinical cases. We’ve just released v25.1.0 with a concise GUI and support for both Win and Linux. Give it a try! 📷 shorturl.at/0pB4H
🚀Excited to share our #preprint on DeepPrep: a high-speed, scalable preprocessing pipeline for s/fMRI, empowered by SOTA #deeplearning algorithms. What takes #fMRIPrep 7 hrs, DeepPrep achieves in just 40 mins! Dive into the details🧵 @hesheng3 @sattertt shorturl.at/eBEP8
I am hiring two PhD students and 1 RA. More details can be found on my LinkedIn!
Hi folks! If you are interested in my group's newest research or PhD/RA/postdoc positions, you are welcome to connect with me or follow me on LinkedIn. Here is the wrap-up post of our group's achievements in 2024! We wish you all a healthy, happy, and fruitful 2025!
It’s extremely indecent and unacceptable for #NeurIPS2024 to get a racist to be an invited speaker.
1/3 Today, an anecdote shared by an invited speaker at #NeurIPS2024 left many Chinese scholars, myself included, feeling uncomfortable. As a community, I believe we should take a moment to reflect on why such remarks in public discourse can be offensive and harmful.
We are very honored and grateful! ☺️
Very honored to be awarded this exciting project on accelerating the intersection of AI and neuroscience, huge thanks to the generous support from Accelerate Science and C2D3 funding and our co-applicants @DPsychai @lei_zhang_lz @AlexWoolgar
Our team @RealityLabs has made amazing progress in predicting hand pose from sEMG. Now we're releasing a huge dataset, with code and competitive benchmark models. Excited to see what you can do: github.com/facebookresear…

#SeminarSeries 👋📷Join our seminar today for a talk by Dr Lei Zhang @lei_zhang_lz on "Cracking the neurocomputational mechanisms of flexible (social) behavior in health and disease", hosted by Dr Di Fu @DPsychai. Don’t miss this exciting talk! 13:00-14:00, 24 AA 04.
Lab’s latest out at PLOS Comp Biol, led by @carrisa_cocuzza: “Distributed network flows generate localized category selectivity in human visual cortex”. This one changed how I think the brain works! Even "localized" functions are likely generated by distributed processes [1/N]
What happens when our stream of consciousness turns inward, towards the body? Our new fMRI study of 536 individuals finds that 'body-wandering' is associated with distinct patterns of brain connectivity, physiology, affect, and mental health: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We created SynthID, a robust digital watermarking technology to tag & identify AI-generated content. Now we’re open-sourcing SynthID-Text so developers can use it to embed & detect watermarks in text outputs from their own LLMs. Published today in @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…
Today, we’re open-sourcing our SynthID text watermarking tool through an updated Responsible Generative AI Toolkit. Available freely to developers and businesses, it will help them identify their AI-generated content. 🔍 Find out more → goo.gle/40apGQh
