Excited to share our latest study! 🧠✨ We reveal how non-direction-selective retinal ganglion cells encode motion beyond their receptive field, relaying the unconventional signals to the brain. A new insight into multimodal neurons in visual processing! doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

I dream of a future in which single neuron dynamics ➡️ circuit motifs ➡️ distributed computations are taught as part of the same curriculum and no one bats an eye and everyone is happy.

New results! Visual adaptation changes the geometry of V1 population activity: frequent stimuli elicit smaller responses but become more discriminable. Similar results are seen in ANNs trained with metabolic constraints, suggesting these changes emerge from efficient coding. bit.ly/3VJHXRn

To my Bluesky friends attending #NeurIPS2024: Check out our poster: “Poisson Variational Autoencoder” (P-VAE)! The P-VAE is a #generative model that encodes inputs into spike count variables and unifies major neuroscience theories with modern machine learning. w/ Jacob Yates and Dekel Galor 🧠🤖🧠📈

🚨 We just updated our perspective on representational alignment. The most recent version is both more crisp and more comprehensive. We try to find common language across research disciplines for aligning the representations from different info processing systems! arxiv.org/abs/2310.13018
