🎄🎅Exciting Xmas present unveiling☃️🎁
As a researcher in crossmodal learning & HRI, I'm thrilled to announce my new journey as an Assistant Professor/UK lecturer in the Dept. of Psych at the University of Surrey🇬🇧 (2024) - the birthplace of the McGurk effect! My lab will focus on multimodal integration in human-robot/AI interaction. Collaborating with @PeopleCentredAI, I'll hire passionate PhDs & postdocs. Stay tuned!

@Rocco_in_Sydney @AlanCNWong @carolfehersilva @Martel_MF @Silvanto_Juha @MelissaMarselle Nice figure! Hope you're doing well at Birkbeck.

New research has found that our brains react more strongly to imagined faces on objects - pareidolia - than gazes from real faces.

This could mean that advertisers use this method to draw our attention in the near future by incorporating face-like arrangements with prominent eye-like elements could significantly increase consumer attention and product recall.

So excited to share that DeepPrep is now online in @naturemethods! 🚀 It’s 10× faster than the SOTA pipeline and more robust in handling clinical cases. We’ve just released v25.1.0 with a concise GUI and support for both Win and Linux. Give it a try! 📷 https://t.co/So57Nvu7JC

@QRJ211 @NeurIPSConf Unfortunately, the speaker didn’t disclose whether it was a Chinese school or not. Your claim from nowhere doesn’t make any sense but clearly racist.

[Di Fu, Ph.D. @DPsychai]

It’s extremely indecent and unacceptable for #NeurIPS2024 to get a racist to be an invited speaker.

[Jing-Jing Li @drjingjing2026]

1/3 Today, an anecdote shared by an invited speaker at #NeurIPS2024 left many Chinese scholars, myself included, feeling uncomfortable. As a community, I believe we should take a moment to reflect on why such remarks in public discourse can be offensive and harmful.

[Di Fu, Ph.D. @DPsychai]

We are very honored and grateful! ☺️

Very honored to be awarded this exciting project on accelerating the intersection of AI and neuroscience, huge thanks to the generous support from Accelerate Science and C2D3 funding and our co-applicants @DPsychai @lei_zhang_lz @AlexWoolgar

[Peter Walkington @perlinwarp]

Our team @RealityLabs has made amazing progress in predicting hand pose from sEMG. Now we're releasing a huge dataset, with code and competitive benchmark models. Excited to see what you can do: https://t.co/MQJUFXZix7

Lab’s latest out at PLOS Comp Biol, led by @carrisa_cocuzza: “Distributed network flows generate localized category selectivity in human visual cortex”. This one changed how I think the brain works! Even "localized" functions are likely generated by distributed processes [1/N]

What happens when our stream of consciousness turns inward, towards the body? Our new fMRI study of 536 individuals finds that 'body-wandering' is associated with distinct patterns of brain connectivity, physiology, affect, and mental health: https://t.co/wepZGVCMXl
