New preprint! 📰 We argue that optimal transport provides a useful framework for describing early orthographic processing/representations. In particular, we focus on letter shape similarity... biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We also show that the optimal transport framework can accommodate geometric invariance. For example, Gromov-Wasserstein distance can be used to capture representations invariant to differences in position and size

Finally, even though it is more computationally constrained and interpretable, Wasserstein distance performs similarly well to features extracted from the best-performing layers of artificial neural networks!

I often see this quoted from some 2005(?) Deutsche Bank report, but I've never been able to find the original. Does anyone happen to know where I could find a copy?
Deutsche Bank describes the Scheme as a “bizarre” “triple pay system” whereby "the state funds most of the research, pays the salaries of most of those checking the quality of the research, and then buys most of the published product." lieffcabraser.com/antitrust/…

So happy to see this EEG study out! 🧠⚡️ We were surprised to see that, in biasing contexts, the word N1 showed a pattern seemingly inconsistent with a simple predictive coding model

One week left to apply for a postdoc position in my lab! 👇
📢 I’m looking for a postdoc to join my lab at Giessen University @jlugiessen. This is a position funded by the DFG until December 2025 on the topic of action & perception using fMRI and behavioural methods. Please RT! For more infos see: uni-giessen.de/karriere/stel…

New EEG preprint! 🧠⚡️👲 With @robustgar and Sara Sereno, we collected EEG data from 68 participants to test a simple predictive coding account of the word N1 (N170). Surprisingly, we found a pattern of effects in the opposite direction to that expected... doi.org/10.1101/2023.08.07.5…

We argue that our findings are inconsistent with a simple predictive coding interpretation of the N1. If predictive coding mechanisms *do* underlie the N1, then the simple explanation we tested requires elaboration
