New preprint on prosody in the brain! tinyurl.com/2ndswjwu HeeSoKim NiharikaJhingan SaraSwords @hopekean.bsky.social @coltoncasto.bsky.social JenniferCole @evfedorenko.bsky.social Prosody areas are distinct from pitch, speech, and multiple-demand areas, and partly overlap with lang+social areas→🧵

Need more fMRI data (beyond the amazing NSD)? Introducing MOSAIC! Incredible effort led expertly by Ben Lahner, with help from grad student Mayukh Deb. Work in collaboration with the amazing Aude Oliva! @neurosky.bsky.social. More below..

Investigating individual-specific topographic organization has traditionally been a resource-intensive and time-consuming process. But what if we could map visual cortex organization in thousands of brains? Here we offer the community with a toolbox that can do just that! tinyurl.com/deepretinotopy

Applications due December 1st! Come work with us!

Excited to share our work on mechanisms of naturalistic audiovisual processing in the human brain 🧠🎬!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Please repost! I am looking for a PhD candidate in the area of Computational Cognitive Neuroscience to start in early 2026. The position is funded as part of the Excellence Cluster "The Adaptive Mind" at @jlugiessen.bsky.social. Please apply here until Nov 25: www.uni-giessen.de/de/ueber-uns...

Delighted to share our new paper, now out in PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... "Hierarchical dynamic coding coordinates speech comprehension in the brain" with dream team @alecmarantz.bsky.social, @davidpoeppel.bsky.social, @jeanremiking.bsky.social Summary 👇 1/8

Empathy + Action = A Better World Thank you, Jane Goodall

Excited to share new work with @hleemasson.bsky.social , Ericka Wodka, Stewart Mostofsky and @lisik.bsky.social! We investigated how simultaneous vision and language signals are combined in the brain using naturalistic+controlled fMRI. Read the paper here: osf.io/b5p4n 1/n

At Neurips? You can now check out @herrickfung.bsky.social ‘s new work on modeling individual differences at two workshops! Much more to say on this awesome colab with @dobyrahnev.bsky.social very soon. 🙂

New preprint! How can you remember an image you saw once, even after seeing thousands of them? We find a role for humble mid-level visual cortex in high-capacity, one-shot learning. doi.org/10.1101/2025.09.22.677855 🧵🧪1/

ATTN🚨: I will be looking for PhD students through NYU's Center for Data Science PhD program this year. Applicants should have an interest in either NeuroAI (specifically biological attention or AI interpretability) or ML for Remote Sensing. Visit my lab website for more info: lindsay-lab.github.io

What fun to hang out in Amsterdam with former lab members, dear friends, and scientific rock stars @evfedorenko.bsky.social‬ @lisik.bsky.social‬ @apurvaratan.bsky.social‬ @carolinerobertson.bsky.social‬

Find me at the poster session tomorrow! I’ll be standing in for Saskia who unfortunately couldn’t make it. Will presenting joint work with @kathadobs.bsky.social on MEG decoding during object permanence #CCN2025

What shapes the topography of high-level visual cortex? Excited to share a new pre-print addressing this question with connectivity-constrained interactive topographic networks, titled "Retinotopic scaffolding of high-level vision", w/ Marlene Behrmann & David Plaut. 🧵 ↓ 1/n

New preprint! 🚨→ Determinants of Visual Ambiguity Resolution. A new work with @ortiztudela.bsky.social @jvoeller.bsky.social @martinhebart.bsky.social and @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social We created ~2k images and collected ~100k responses to study visual ambiguity. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

#VSS2025 Tomorrow in Talk Room 2 at 9.15AM. Mayukh Deb will be presenting our work on TopoNets! You can read more about it at toponets.github.io. But there will be a lot more!

Come listen to Ben Lahner present a new combined fMRI dataset - MOSAIC. Happening soon at 1145 in Talk Room 2.

Kick off #VSS2025 with our symposium “25 Years of Seeing ‘Stuff’—Advances and Challenges in Material Perception” in Talk Room 2 on Friday morning 10:30am – 12:30pm. We have a great lineup of speakers who will share deep insights and fun demos! 👀🧠🌊 @vssmtg.bsky.social #neuroskyence #visionscience

In case it's of interest, links to the technical details behind each topic: 1. NeuroAgents research program: tinyurl.com/yc48bnz4 & talk here: youtube.com/watch?v=9_7m... 2. NeuroAI Turing Test (with @jfeather.bsky.social, Meenakshi Khosla, and @apurvaratan.bsky.social): arxiv.org/abs/2502.16238

The latest paper from my PhD is now out in Nature Human Behavior! rdcu.be/edRwQ

I'm hiring a full-time research assistant to start this Summer! The lab studies perception and cognition from infancy to adulthood using neuroimaging, behavioral, and computational approaches For more details about the lab and the position, see: vlad-lab.com/join #psychjobs #neurojobs

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...

Finally making the switch! Who do I follow and what did I miss? 🙂
