[Review] Large language models (LLMs) "are not designed to provide particularly strong or weak support for or against any particular theory of human linguistic cognition [...] LLMs are not theories, they are tools." Open access. https://t.co/QUxwamy7cV

🚨 New article 🚨

Open LLMs are powerful and reproducible alternatives to closed models like GPT or Gemini.

In this tutorial, we (@ZakASHussain, @marcel_binz, @rui__mata) explain how LLMs work and show how to apply open LLMs to behavioral science questions using the @huggingface ecosystem.

New preprint with @edmundlalor where we show that non-stationarity impairs encoding models trained on continuous neural recordings. This can be remedied by appropriate segmentation of the data (for EEG, 10s seems like a reasonable default).

We show that the contextual information encoded in Large Language Models (LLMs) is beneficial for modelling the complex visual information extracted by the brain from natural scenes. 🧵

New comment in Nature Human Behavior with my former bachelor student Eline Ensinck: "Make abandoned research publicly available". We argue it is time to be honest about the content of our file drawers, and the varied reasons studies remain unshared. https://t.co/rZKDKPcTwE >

An fMRI/MEG study using RSA & representational connectivity analyses suggests that semantic information makes a rapid & distinct contribution to visual object recognition that is linked to feedback activity from the anterior temporal lobes: https://t.co/WDYCUOZ8hq
