Now out in Current Biology! Object decoding and DNN–brain alignment dissociate: more object information ≠ more alignment. What neural networks share with the brain is mid-level image statistics. Free 50-day access: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...: brain alignment in DNNs is almost fully complete at 3% of training. Features involved in classification are largely independent of those that predict the brain. With @niklasmuller.bsky.social , @irisgroen.bsky.social. @marcelvangerven.bsky.social

🧵 New paper from lab, CNN shape bias is optimal when training focuses on the object (similar to toddlers) bias peaks. Too much background, or over-cropping that breaks the object → it falls. doi.org/10.1080/0954... 💾 led by @niklasmuller.bsky.social, w/ @cgmsnoek.bsky.social @irisgroen.bsky.social

New preprint led by @pablooyarzo.bsky.social together with @kohitij.bsky.social, Diego Vidaurre & Radek Cichy. Using EEG + fMRI, we show that when humans recognize images that feedforward CNNs fail on, the brain recruits cortex-wide recurrent resources. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/n)
