I will present my poster on the neuro-cognitive mechanisms of orthographic learning in humans 🚶‍♀️ and baboons 🐒 on wednesday at #CCN (Poster B34). In our study, we compared CORnet-Z and ResNet 18, with a transparent, mechanistic model of reading: The Speechless Reader Model (SLR).

Hey everyone, we have organized a lecture and panel discussion on the topic "Standardization in Research: Increasing Replicability or Stalling Scientific Progress?" in Cologne on March 31st: sites.google.com/view/gewonn/... @gewonnofficial.bsky.social @unicologne.bsky.social

It's all gone. They've taken down all the CDC datasets from data.cdc.gov Data that's critical for public health & research. Data paid for by citizens. That the government now censors. "Do not fear those who tell the truth. Fear those who try to hide it. They are willing to sacrifice other things."

Hey Bsky friends on #neuroskyence! Very excited to share our @iclr-conf.bsky.social paper: TopoNets! High-performing vision and language models with brain-like topography! Expertly led by grad student Mayukh and Mainak! A brief thread...

Researchers paid nearly $9 billion to publishers between 2019 and 2023 so you could read our work. Why? Why??
