NSD has profoundly shaped vision science. Inspired by it, we combined fMRI and Neuropixels to build a macaque dataset with 1,000 natural images. We’re excited to share Triple-N and welcome feedback from the community!
(1/6) Thrilled to share our triple-N dataset (Non-human Primate Neural Responses to Natural Scenes)! It captures thousands of high-level visual neuron responses in macaques to natural scenes using #Neuropixels. Link: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
#VSS2025 The B-Lab from Peking University will be presenting the following talks and posters at VSS this year. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend in person due to visa issues—but my thoughts are with all my friends and colleagues at the conference.
In a new study published in @NeuroCellPress, a team of @YaleMed researchers led by @neural_nandy & @mon_sci showed that visual clutter 👁️ affects the efficiency of information flow in the brain! 🧠 @YaleNeuro @YalePsych @YalePsychology Read More Here 👇 news.yale.edu/2024/10/22/vis…
1/10 Very excited to announce that my thesis project is now a preprint! We present the first detailed study of mental imagery in human ventral temporal cortex, bringing together the interests of @doristsao and @UeliRutishauser. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Tuesday afternoon at #SFN2024: How do neurons in category-selective regions respond to preferred and non-preferred categories? Join Yipeng Li as he presents his extensive Neuropixels recordings to uncover the general coding schemes of the IT neurons Poster board H1.
Monday morning at #SFN2024: Does the macaque IT cortex also contain food-selective areas like in humans? Come hear Baoqi Gong present his fMRI and ephys experiments on food-selective areas in the macaque IT. Poster board H11.
Monday morning at #SFN2024: What can we learn when monkeys watch The Grand Budapest Hotel? Join Wei Jin to explore fMRI and ephys experiments with humans and macaques, examining how the brain responds during movie watching. Poster board H10.
Heard a great talk today by @sbollmann_MRI on @Neuro_Desk. NeuroDesk really solves a lot of problems in managing neuroimaging software and is so elegant! I'm encouraging everyone in human neuroscience to give it a try and convince their IT to install it! neurodesk.org
1/ Congratulations to Pinglei Bao @bobking for a remarkable finding: IT cortex contains a coarse map of object space repeated 3 times. The maps comprise the known face & body networks plus two new networks. nature.com/articles/s4158…
Two postdoctoral positions are available in my lab. More information can be found here: labs.uab.edu/kwon/images/kw…
Fascinating talk by Pinglei Bao and @doristsao providing a radically different way of thinking about IT cortex organization in terms of selectivity being an emergent property of object low-dimensional features combinations. #VSS2019
What is the structure of neuroscience? I analyzed thousands of itineraries at the last SfN meeting (anonymized). Here is the resulting t-Sne map of the Topics. High res version and code: 10.6084/m9.figshare.8061401. Huge thanks to @SfNtweets. Paper soon out at @NeuroCellPress.
