Check out our new preprint on convolutional recurrent neural networks trained for image classification and evaluated on out-of-distribution robustness

Spoiler alert: simply adding top-down feedback connections was not enough to achieve robust vision!

Are top-down feedback connections enough for robust vision?

We found ConvRNN with top-down feedback exhibiting OOD robustness only when trained with dropout, revealing a dual mechanism for robust sensory coding

Sad to miss #CCN2025. It will be the 1st conference where a PhD working w/ me will speak 😭

go see Lubna's talk (Friday) about distributed neural correlates of flexible decision making in 🐒,

Check out our new preprint on spatial hearing👂 in humans and deep neural networks

We found that humans exhibit more robust sound localization than models when probed with out-of-distribution sounds, like those lacking primary interaural cues!

Check out our new preprint on the encoding mechanisms of temporal prediction errors during tactile-motor associations in the human 🧠

We found preferential encoding for action-oriented errors, encoded in motor space!

🧠⏱️ New preprint!
We found that temporal prediction errors are more strongly encoded when an overt response is required, and this encoding occurs in motor rather than sensory space.
