Hierarchical computations of social interaction perception in the human visual system
Innate neural scaffolds for mental function Abstract: What determines the landscape of functional specialization in the human brain? I’ll present experiments that investigate how neural processors for uniquely human skills […]
Social visual and language processing during a naturalistic movie
Differential effects of syntactic complexity in congenitally blind and sighted individuals: evidence from self-paced listening and reading
Linguistic Universals in Grammars and Language Models. (Please take note of the alternate location.)
Do contemporary, machine-executable models (aka digital twins) of the primate ventral visual system unlock the ability to non-invasively, beneficially modulate high level brain states?
RNNs too expressive to properly learn local phonological patterns? Although recurrent neural networks with long short-term memory mechanisms (LSTMs) can learn many existing phonological patterns, they vastly overgenerate. This raises […]
presented by PhD Student Manasi Malik Title and abstract to come.
Who, what, where... how? Abstract: Humans are the best knowers and learners of the natural world. From infancy, we are sensitive to the who, what, and where in everyday life… but […]
The development, hemispheric organization, and plasticity of high-level vision Adults recognize complex visual inputs, such as faces and words, with remarkable speed, accuracy and ease, but a full understanding of […]
Organizing Dimensions of Language in the Brain How does the human brain encode the meaning of a sentence? I will focus on two studies investigating this question. The first study […]
