What do you see in this image?
Deep learning has closed the gap with human vision on many benchmarks. But does it mean that deep nets are *as robust* as humans in rare scenarii, such as when objects are shown in unusual poses?
We explore this question: https://t.co/u0rPmslDbG

Read my latest #research on drug repurposing for retinal degenerations published with @SpringerNature / @NaturePortfolio in @NatureComms.

Big thanks to major funding from @NatEyeInstitute @NIH

A new paper from our lab links human perception to retinal circuit function at the sensitivity limit of vision. It is freshly published @naturecomms: https://t.co/8Ud3SFJCQ0. @LifeSciHelsinki @helsinkiuni @AaltoUniversity #QuantalBehavior

[Petri Ala-Laurila @AlaLaurilaLab]

Our preprint @biorxiv_neurosci resolves the sensitivity limit of human vision from the retina to perception: “Human retina trades single-photon detection for high-fidelity contrast encoding”. https://t.co/0dWPQ6zdfH #QuantalBehavior @LifeSciHelsinki @AaltoResearch

Horrible morning today in Israel. Woke up to sirens at 6:30am and the horrific news, pictures and videos just keeps coming all day. Our hearts are with the hundreds of families targeted by Hamas terrorists along the southern border.

@michaeltrido @KeisukeYonehara @helsinkiuni @AaltoUniversity Mike: I was superb to have you visit us (my lab and the @nymarklab) and present the cool projects you are currently working on. Looking forward to more interactions inbetween our labs!

[Petri Ala-Laurila @AlaLaurilaLab]

What a nice pre #ERM2023 week in Helsinki with two inspiring visits and talks by @michaeltrido
and @KeisukeYonehara in my labs @helsinkiuni & @AaltoUniversity! Looking forward to the science action at the #ERM2023 meeting in Tübingen next (@teulerlab @CellTypist @NeuroFishh)!

[Petri Ala-Laurila @AlaLaurilaLab]

@KeisukeYonehara Thanks for the kind words @KeisukeYonehara! It was superb to have you visit and learn about the fascinating projects that your lab is up to.

[Tiffany Schmidt @tiffmschmidt]

Amazing program here at NU with an opportunity to work in our department (Neurobiology)! Please retweet and spread the word. DM if you have any questions!

[Esa Hämäläinen @esahamal]

Kyllä. Jaamme @Niemela_Ilkka @AaltoUniversity kanssa huolen. Suomen tulevaisuuden suunnan ratkaisee kansainvälinen yhteistyö ja korkea osaaminen. @helsinkiuni @unifi @okmfi https://t.co/iPstvOG0jp

Ever observed a displaced retinal ganglion cell and wondered what’s going on? 🤔
