Approximate Analysis by Synthesis: Towards a Computational Theory of Vision ABSTRACT: Vision is humans' underappreciated superpower. It gives us the miraculous ability to perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world […]
Neural representations: From humans to artificial networks and back ABSTRACT: I will discuss various properties of neural representations (dimensionality, spectra, hyperalignments) found in biological brains and show how they can […]
What kind of computation is cognition? Prof. Josh Tenenbaum is a Professor in the Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences at MIT. Prof. Tenenbaum studies the computational basis of human […]
Making sense of the world: People, places, and THINGS. Abstract: Light falling on the retina triggers neural activity that is propagated along sub-cortical and cortical pathways to ultimately elicit the […]
The distributed conceptual network in the human brain. ABSTRACT: Human behavior is based on a complex interaction between perception, stored knowledge, and continuousevaluation of the world relative to plans and […]

Mechanisms of Culture and Individuality in the Visual Value System of the Brain
Title and abstract TBA.
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 […]
