To conclude: It’s looking like feedback is a plausible mechanism to invoke latent states in EVC, and is necessary to maintain flexible and distractor resistant visual thoughts. As usual, there’s much more cool stuff in the preprint, so check it out! 11/11

Nearly 2000 signatories now, inc 6 Nobel Laureates! An outpouring of love for the Nottingham group: tremendous physicists, first-rate reasearch, sci-comm & teaching. So confused why Nottingham would decide to kill off such a jewel of a thriving group. ✍️: nottinghamphysics.github.io/Open_Letter/

I'm proud to say we are releasing LAION-fMRI, a densely sampled 7T fMRI dataset of natural images, with very broad stimulus sampling for testing countless hypotheses and for deeply exploring brain representations. The dataset is now available at laion-fmri.hebartlab.com What does LAION-fMRI offer? 🧵

In the IPS, but not the VC, spatial locations generalized across hemifield by sequence position. E.g., a location at the left point of the star in the left hemifield shared a common code with the left point of the star in the right hemifield. This indicates abstract coding of sequence in the IPS.
