Are you also excited and/or want to learn more about the new opportunities ANNs provide to ask ‘why’ questions of minds and brains? Check out our new review paper with the amazing @meenakshik93 and @Nancy_Kanwisher in @TrendsNeuro. cell.com/trends/neurosc…

🧠🌍 The Adaptive Mind | #TAMthursday How does the human mind adapt to constantly changing conditions? Researchers from psychology, neuroscience, AI, and robotics @jlugiessen @Uni_MR and @TUDarmstadt work together to decode universal principles of human adaptability.

Fantastic opportunity to work with Daniel and join the amazing Giessen community! 🧠

Excited to present findings from my first PhD project with @martin_hebart and @KathaDobs at #CCN2024 If you're into visual cortex, functional selectivity, and/or representational dimensions, make sure to stop by poster P154 today! 🧠🌈

#CogNeuro seeks unified theories of behavioral, physiological, and mental states. To this aim, our @NatureNeuro Perspective proposes a new framework centered on #TaskDemands & across-task generalization. nature.com/articles/s4159… w/@Alex_C_Schmid @smkaps @Chris_I_Baker D.Kravitz🧵

What makes humans similar or different to AI? In a new study, led by @florianmahner and @lukas_mut and w/ @umuguc, we took a deep look at the factors underlying their representational alignment, with surprising results. arxiv.org/abs/2406.19087 🧵

Super excited to share our recent work on privileged representational axes in biological and artificial neural networks! w/ @Nancy_Kanwisher @JoshHMcDermott @ItsNeuronal biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I was pretty busy yesterday answering lovely emails, so am belatedly saying a few things now: What a huge honor, especially to receive this thing with the amazing @doristsao and Winrich. What I did was child’s pay compared to the sophisticated work they carried out subsequently.

We went for a lab retreat this April. We did many great science things. But the best thing we did was clearly this. Soon to appear on Spotify, stay tuned!

🚨 Deadline is coming up soon. If you're passionate about working at the intersection of #AI, #neuroscience, and #vision, we'd love to have you join our lab as a #postdoc! 👇

Look at this super exciting lineup we have coming up for our perception talk series in the upcoming summer term @jlugiessen! Already looking forward to all the great talks and discussions.🌌

🧠 Announcing the 2024 Brain-Score Benchmarking Competition 📣 This year — we have turned the table! We invite experimentalists and the community at large to expose the explanatory gaps between current models of primate vision and the biological brain. brain-score.org/competition/ 1/

Feeling humbled and excited that I've received the prestigious Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Award from #DFG! 🥳 This is not just a testimony to my research but to the continuous support of my family, friends, colleagues, and mentors. A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you!

I'm soon going to be looking for a senior postdoc to join my lab who is interested in transitioning to independence and in building their own group, with a strong background in vision science, cognitive computational neuroscience or visual neuroscience. Please RT 1/3

I'm looking for a postdoc to explore the exciting intersection of #AI #neuroscience and #vision in our @ERC_Research-funded #DEEPFUNC project. Like to join our lab? Apply by April 15! uni-giessen.de/karriere/stell…. Please RT to help spread the word.

We're happy to announce the upcoming Summer School on Neuro-AI. From 17 - 27 June, a fantastic line-up of speakers will take an interdisciplinary deep-dive into the crosstalk between neuroscience, AI and cognitive science. See neuro-ai.eu for more information!
