Finally, today is the day: Josefine Zerbe will present and release our new multi-echo 7T fMRI dataset LAION-fMRI during #VSS2026, with >30 fMRI session per subject and unprecedented stimulus diversity. Come to Talk Room 1 (Scene perception) today at 5:15. Details after the talk!
🧠 Distinct resting-state connectomes for face and scene perception predict individual task performance.
I’m happy to share that our paper is now published in Human Brain Mapping!

Here are some digests that walk you through the results 👇🏼
New @eLife publication from SWC Senior Research Fellow @MSableMeyer
Completed at Collège de France & @NeuroSpin_91 with @StanDehaene, the study explores the language of geometry and how we perceive shapes.

excited to share some recent work!
tldr; models trained on multi-view sensory data are the first to match human-level 3D shape perception—all zero shot, with no training on experimental data/images

@KazuyaSLA@AdamTTierney@audioneurolab@bbkpsychology Together, these results suggest that the precision with which people perceive and remember sound patterns plays a major role in how well they understand accented speech, and that auditory training may help listeners who struggle. 🧵5/5

@KazuyaSLA@AdamTTierney@audioneurolab@bbkpsychology L1 English speakers who were better at understanding the accent werebetter at detecting pitch differences, remembering sound patterns & attending to pitch. Musical training also helped. Better speech perception was also linked to stronger neural encoding of speech harmonics.🧵4/5
