How can we make progress in developing a general model of neural computation rather than a series of disjointed models tied to specific experimental circumstances, ask Eva Dyer and @tyrellturing.bsky.social in the latest entry in our NeuroAI series.

Accepting “bitter lesson” and embracing brain’s complexity

To gain insight into complex neural data, we must move toward a data-driven regime, employing large models trained on vast amounts of data. Experts weigh in.

Interesting! we will test it with our new 10 subject/10 sessions dataset, anatomical coregistration washes out the functional coactivations, will inform back

Did u ever wonder if it makes a difference if you do your fMRI analysis in volume or in surface space? 🤔
For pRF mapping it turns out, projecting to the surface can bias your results towards the fovea! Our new paper shows why. Check it out! doi.org/10.1002/hbm....

Biases in Volumetric Versus Surface Analyses in Population Receptive Field Mapping

Projecting volumetric fMRI data onto the cortical surface introduces biases in pRF parameters due to upsampling. Using a containerized analysis pipeline, we revealed that upsampling consistently incr....
