Don’t miss this paper showing how wearables and AI are reshaping attention research, moving us from controlled tasks to the rich, beautifully messy reality of everyday life. And be honest, what's messier than eating spaghetti? 🍝
Our “spaghetti study” is out! 🍝👀
We used wearable eye-tracking + computer vision to capture how attention unfolds during everyday actions such as eating dinner.
Check out the paper: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

👇 When neuroscience meets computational modeling: check out the paper below for converging evidence revealing how early visual experience (or the lack of it) shapes - yet does not fully define - human object recognition. 👁️
1. 🧵 Thread: What happens to the visual brain after early transient blindness?
Our new Nature Communications paper examines a rare population: people born with dense bilateral cataracts—a short blindness occurring during a critical window of visual development.

New preprint demonstrating that expertise emerges when the brain uncovers a domain’s latent structure and reshapes its representational space to express it efficiently. 👇
Super excited to share a new preprint!
We asked a simple-but-big question:
What changes in the brain when someone becomes an expert?
Using chess ♟️ + fMRI 🧠 + representational geometry & dimensionality 📈, we ask:
1️⃣ WHAT information is encoded?
2️⃣ HOW is it structured?
3️⃣ WHERE is it expressed?

Exciting DNN work from our colleagues at @hansopdebeeck.bsky.social’s lab 👇
It's finally out! Our work with @hansopdebeeck.bsky.social & @costantinoai.bsky.social is published.
We went looking for dissociations between types of recurrence in DNNs, but we found something quite different.. hopefully that can tell us somehting about our models!

We’re NeuroSPACE, a KU Leuven Methusalem project bringing together 4 labs to explore how the brain combines domain-specific knowledge with domain-general cognitive abilities to shape human behavior.
Excited to share our science and to connect with other curious minds here!
