Our multimodal transformer tool for automating word-concreteness ratings is published today
📝 C-ratings are used in research across Cognitive Science
💶 They take time and money to collect
⚙️ Automation solves this + we get in-context ratings for free!

Sam Gershman writes beautifully about how theory-free neuroscience prevents the field from reaching its promise. Beautiful and true. Most folks do not test hypotheses. Running a NHST does not a hypothesis make. www.thetransmitter.org/theoretical-...
Breaking the barrier between theorists and experimentalists
Many neuroscience students are steeped in an experiment-first style of thinking. Let’s not forget how theory can guide experiments.

Most critiques of LLMs (e.g. @garymarcus.bsky.social) are ultimately about not wanting to accept that very dumb processes can lead to "intelligence". I think this paper offers a great perspective on how this could happen in both minds and machines. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Direct Fit to Nature: An Evolutionary Perspective on Biological and Artificial Neural Networks
Evolution is a blind fitting process by which organisms become adapted to their environment. Does the brain use similar brute-force fitting processes …

Context is everything: How context influences the way the brain processes concepts.
Context is everything
How the brain processes concepts is influenced by contextual information, such as what a person is seeing, suggests new study.

Naturalistic encoding of concepts in the brain
@viktorkewenig.bsky.social shows that, while concepts generally encode habitual experiences, the underlying neurobiological organisation is not fixed but depends dynamically on available contextual information. 👏🍾🐐
