Why do our pupils dilate when we’re surprised? 👀

A new study led by Brown University researchers finds that spikes in physical alertness act like a “refresh” button for the brain, helping people adjust expectations, process unexpected information and learn faster.

I thought I was done when the season ended. I wasn't ready to announce it, and I knew I needed some time to really decide, but I was pretty sure I played my last game. I was honest at that last press conference when I said I needed to look at myself and deicide if I still love

We are excited to share our new work on @NatureHumBehav. We used neural population geometry to analyze the population representation changes before and after learning. A new theory of manifold shrinkage is proposed and tested in both Deep Neural Networks, humans, and macaques.

[Nature Human Behaviour @NatureHumBehav]

Cheng et al introduce a neural geometry approach to reconcile past conflicting findings and propose a unified theory of visual perceptual learning using deep neural network modeling, human fMRI imaging, and multi-unit recordings in macaques.@ru_yuan_zhang

Fascinating #CogSci seminar by Prof. Bhandari from Brown University 📷 Explored how we map & navigate social networks. Key insight: We use similar mechanisms for social & spatial cognitive maps. 📷 #SocialNetworks #CognitiveMap #NetworkScience #AcademicTalks

Mitigating racial bias from LLMs is a lot easier than removing it from humans!

Can’t believe this happened at the best AI conference @NeurIPSConf

We have ethical reviews for authors, but missed it for invited speakers? 😡

[Emily Finn @esfinn]

If you're still at #sfn2024 tomorrow (Weds) am, check out @FINNLab_neuro members Clara Sava-Segal @csavasegal and Kay Liang @qiliang_kay in the nanosymposium Neural Bases of Human Social Cognition and Connection! Great speaker lineup!
