What is the nature of universal representations in AI models, and what determines whether they emerge? Our paper accepted at #neurips2026 led by @florianmahner & @andropar addressed these questions comparing 162 vision models, with intriguing results. arxiv.org/abs/2605.13675 👇

Characterizing Universal Object Representations Across Vision Models

Deep neural networks trained with different architectures, objectives, and datasets have been reported to converge on similar visual representations. However, what remains unknown is which visual...

1/7 Does the infant brain have representational structure? 👶🧠In the FOUNDCOG project, we scanned 134 awake infants using fMRI. Published in Nature Neuroscience, our research reveals 2-month-old infants already possess complex visual representations in VVC that align with DNNs.

I love this so much. After pushback on his recent "Medicine is the only field that reaches 6 sigma" with "my field, psychophysics is so awesome" he posted this. Hurray all Psychophysicists. LETS CELEBRATE PSYCHOPHYSICS. An island of large effects is us!

Psychophysics is a human-facing science with interventions arguably more robust than medicine. argmin.net/p/1000-hurts

The most complex piece I ever made, the famous Purkinje neuron drawn 100 years ago by Ramon y Cajal. It took me more than 30h of cutting with a scroll saw.

I'm recruiting PhD students to join my new lab in Fall 2026! The Shared Minds Lab at @USC will combine deep learning and ecological human neuroscience to better understand how we communicate our thoughts from one brain to another.

🧠 New preprint: Why do deep neural networks predict brain responses so well? We find a striking dissociation: it’s not shared object recognition. Alignment is driven by sensitivity to texture-like local statistics. 📊 Study: n=57, 624k trials, 5 models doi.org/10.1101/2025.08.29.6…

#CCN2025 looks so good, I am absolutely gutted to miss it! But I am happy that my PhD student Akilles Rechardt will be presenting "Explaining neural mechanisms of age-related dedifferentation in the ventral stream through deep neural networks" (B52, Session B: Wed 13, 1-4pm). 1/3

We have surprising results on how neurodegeneration/damage can lead to dedifferentiation of category selectivity in ageing. Sneak peek: different predictions for white and gray matter damage! 2/3

As some of you might know, I am also hiring a postdoc in Osaka. Feel free to talk to Akilles about what it's like to work with me :). 3/3

Folks at #CCN2025, drop by my poster tomorrow to hear about the fun task I have been developing with Roland Fleming, to gauge internal models of diverse physical objects in a controlled way! There will be a demo as well 🕹️ Tuesday, August 12, 1:30 – 4:30 pm, de Brug & E‑Hall

Do DNNs represent images in the same way as the human brain? Our new work in #CCN2025 Proceedings suggests that DNNs and brains only agree on the gist but not the actual details of what a scene looks like. openreview.net/forum?id=DtEe…
