New assistant professorship in predictive brain processes 🔮🧠💻 at the Department of Cognitive Neuroscience, Maastricht University. It’s a fantastic place to work and we have a vibrant interdisciplinary community. vacancies.maastrichtuniversity.nl/job/Maastric...

@nitalon.bsky.social , @reuth-mirsky.bsky.social , @stefansarkadi.bsky.social and I have been putting together a book!

📖 *Theory of Mind in Natural and Artificial Intelligence*

coming out early next year 🧵

Last talk of our conference is our local star Shinji Nishimoto from Osaka University and CiNet telling us about Functional organization of perceptual and cognitive representations in the brain across Naturalistic experiences. #cinetconference #neuroskyence 🧠📈

#neuroskyence #cinetconference 🧠📈

Ben Hayden @benhayden.bsky.social telling us about the neural geometry of Cognition! #cinetconference #neuroskyence 🧠📈

Kentaro Abe from Tohoku university telling us about songbirds - language models for decoding non human languages. #cinetconference #neuroskyence 🧠📈

Our own Lis Kanashiro Pereira fun CiNet on Do LLMs and brains find the end things funny? (omoroi). Brazilian and Japanese humour and LLMs! #cinetconference #neuroskyence 🧠📈

Next up: Taro Toyoizumi from RIKEN telling us about how the brain learns to represent ambiguous environments. #cinetconference #neuroskyence 🧠📈

To start the last day of #cinetconference Martin Schrimpf @mschrimpf.bsky.social is telling us about NeuroAI to understand and treat the brain! #neuroskyence 🧠📈

Fantastic panel on how to work together across academia and industry to understand biological and artificial intelligence #cinetconference #neuroskyence

Tatsuya Haga telling us about the hippocampus : bridging space with concepts, and replay with sampling. #cinetconference #neuroskyence 🧠📈

I gave a talk as well - using small ANN models I showed how circuit organization shapes fast learning and generalization in the hippocampus.

Big computational finding: dentate gyrus at the input stage is necessary and sufficient for fast learning. #cinetconference #neuroskyence 🧠�

Kate Storrs @katestorrs.bsky.social from the University of Auckland telling us about Using the toolkit of psychology to evaluate visual understanding in artificial models. #cinetconference #neuroskyence 🧠📈

Llion Jones @yesthisislion.bsky.social and Kai Arulkumaran from Sakana AI @sakanaai.bsky.social talking about building the bridge between ML and Neuroscience. I hope the bridge is being built! #cinetconference #neuroskyence 🧠📈

Katharina Dobs @kathadobs.bsky.social telling us about Functional specialization in bio and artificial systems. #neuroskyence #cinetconference 🧠

Next up, Takafumi Yanagisawa from Osaka University on visual imagery brain machine interfaces! #cinetconference #neuroskyence 🧠📈

Starting up with @neuroai.bsky.social on compositionality in the brain and artificial neural networks #cinetconference #neuroskyence 🧠📈
