(2/2) This year’s goal is to build models that predict human brain responses measured with fMRI while people play a variety of video games. The challenge brings together perception, decision-making, behavior, and learning in complex and dynamic interactive environments.

(1/6) Do our visual neuroscience findings actually replicate? And do they generalize beyond the datasets they were found in? We've lauched re:vision, a community-driven initiative to answer these questions, and we are looking for scientistis to participate. re-vision-initiative.org
