Question for my fellow vision researchers: anyone know of work where people looked at dynamic ensemble perception for lots of boxes on Zoom? Think "what's the average emotion of these people on a group call?"

Did you know @icevislab.bsky.social have curated and shared a list of Animal visual stimuli?

Love finding lists like this when searching for visual stimuli for experiments 🦜 🐅 🐕

Thank you for sharing!

#neuroskyence people (maybe vision people in particular): how do you think information is "read out" from the visual system? Do downstream areas like PFC get to query anything from V1 to IT? Or just later areas? How plastic are these readouts? Etc. IMO this is always under constrained in modeling.

🧠✨How do we rebuild our memories? In our new study, we show that hippocampal ripples kickstart a coordinated expansion of cortical activity that helps reconstruct past experiences.

We recorded iEEG from patients during memory retrieval... and found something really cool 👇(thread)

New R package almost birthed - SemanticDistance - computes two semantic distance metrics (experiential and embedding) for any rolling chunk size (ngram-to-ngram, word-to-word, turn-to-turn, ngram-to-word). You give it your language sample. It does the rest, including lemmatize and stopword omit
