FAO: NeuroAI researchers. Please consider signing up for a 10-hour / month (paid) commitment to supervise a group of budding NeuroAI researchers who are part of Neuromatch's Impact Scholars Program. I did it last year and it was one of the most fulfilling experiences I've had in recent years 🤗

Finding Shared Decodable Concepts and their Negations in the Brain Prior work has offered evidence for functional localization in the brain; different anatomical regions preferentially activate for certain types of visual input. For example, the fusiform face area...

Hi Emma, here is the latest version of the paper (we're just updating the arxiv submission to be the latest one at the moment).

Very happy to see this out there. It was nice to be invited to this very open and collaborative system to contribute ideas, comments and revisions to the final version. Check it out! -- NeuroAI for AI Safety.

He was such a nice and decent guy. I was only a student when I'd be at random events in Aarhus where I would bump into him but he always made everyone feel welcome. Such sad news.

We think neuro and ML both aim to understand intelligence, and so it's good to know a bit of both to inspire new ideas that neither field might find on their own.

As the history of the nascent discipline of NeuroAI reveals, neuroscience has inspired advances in artificial intelligence, and AI has provided a testing ground for models in neuroscience, accelerating progress in both fields.
