How much do we know about visual representations? Quantifying the dimensionality gap between DNNs and visual cortex'. Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) can explain a large portion of variance in […]
A group of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from the Department of Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins, are offering one-on-one mentoring about applying to our department, with priority given to […]
Modeling shared and variable information encoded in fine-scale cortical topographies. ABSTRACT: Information is encoded in fine-scale functional topographies that vary from brain to brain. Hyperalignment models information that is shared […]
Current MA student Atlas Kazemian will give a talk on "Toward a computational neuroscience of visual cortex without deep learning."
MA applications for Spring 2023 due.
Dog, cat, and leash: Difference in processing costs among inflectional allomorphs during speech production. Abstract: We need to generate contextually-appropriate inflections to produce well-formed words and sentences, and a key component of […]
The language system in the human brain. ABSTRACT: The goal of my research program is to understand the representations and computations that enable us to share complex thoughts with one another […]
PhD applications for Fall 2023 due as well as MA applications for Summer 2023 and Fall 2023 due.
Investigating compositional visual knowledge through challenging visual tasks ABSTRACT: Human vision manifests remarkable robustness to recognize objects from the visual world filled with a chaotic, dynamic assortment of information. Computationally, […]
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 […]
Acquiring syntactic variation: regularization in wh-question production. ABSTRACT: Children are often exposed to language-internal variation. Studying the acquisition of variation allows us to understand more about children’s ability to acquire […]
Canonical dimensions of vision. For department members, department major/minor undergraduate students, and invited guests. In-person and on Zoom.
