“Where was I again?”
Our study published today https://t.co/SssPQUDv7l reveals brain cells can form a coordinate system for our behaviours. Instead of locating where we are in the world, this coordinate system tells us “where we are” in a sequence of behaviours: 🧵below:

New ARC-AGI paper
@arcprize w/ fantastic collaborators @xu3kev @HuLillian39250 @ZennaTavares @evanthebouncy @BasisOrg
For few-shot learning: better to construct a symbolic hypothesis/program, or have a neural net do it all, ala in-context learning?

Help friends and colleagues better understand how humans process language! Good Old Fashion Psycho-Linguistics (GOFPL) with a fun hypothesis, but we promise there will be LLMs in the paper eventually 🤖

1/🧵How early do children grasp mathematical patterns? Our latest study with @StanDehaene, @LubineauMarie and @MorfoisseTheo explores how young children’s drawings reveal their understanding of geometric patterns—from simple lines to complex curves like sinusoids and exponentials

@andregraubner Randomly generated stimuli with parametrized luminosity, arranged in a 28x12 grid. Seeds used to generate each stimulus are kept constant along the diagonals.

How do we infer perceptual absences? Do beliefs about perception play a role in such inferences? And how does it all relate to cellist Natalia Gutman’s career decisions? Find answers in our new preprint with @moran_rani and @ClarePress:

Is a low-level associative learning strategy sufficient to encode sparse community network? In our new paper out in the Journal of Neuroscience, we argue that yes, see how in this thread! ▶️https://t.co/Is2DXqwPSB

[Mathias Sablé-Meyer @MSableMeyer]

@EltetoNoemi At least on that brain I can immediately tell where the front is, I guess...

Every other lab meeting, when I'm confused thanks to my poor mouse neuroanatomy knowledge:
wait, the oiah alosias region is involved in fine grained sturbly control?

We are happy to announce our next workshop: Making scientific illustrations for papers with AI tools! You will learn how to use simple prompts to reduce the time you need to spend on preparing visuals for your papers. And focus on what is REALLY important - science itself!

Happy to share my new first-author paper on visual sequence representation in the prefrontal cortex.

New manuscript from the lab!
What is the neural code for reading?
Through simulations of convolutional neural networks, we propose a new hypothesis on how, in literate brains, neurons encode written letters and their relative positions within the word.
