in just under 2 weeks, in Amsterdam, I get to be part of:

the Metacognitive Science Satellite (www.metacognitivescience.org)

a @cogcompneuro.bsky.social community event on consciousness science

@neuromatch.bsky.social mindmatching at CCN: come find your new science BFFs!

This is promising to be a very exciting event. If you're going to CCN or just want an excuse to come to Amsterdam, make sure to check it out.

Still time to register for our Metacognitive Science satellite at @cogcompneuro.bsky.social on 11th August!

We have an exciting lineup covering computational, neural and AI approaches to metacognition, plus keynotes from Uta Noppeney and @ingmarposner.bsky.social 🥳

just around the corner!

A ✨bittersweet✨ moment – after 5 years at UCL, my final first-author project with @smfleming.bsky.social is ready to read as a preprint! 🥲

it was a pleasure to write this with @neuromatch.bsky.social CEO Bradley Roberts for @thetransmitter.bsky.social! thank you for the opportunity to contribute 🙏🥰

Today we open-sourced a new project for developing behavioral experiments online. It is called Smile. Announcement of v0.1.0: todd.gureckislab.org/2025/07/22/s... Smile has been used internally in my lab for several years and has substantially increased our productivity.

For trainees entering computational neuroscience or NeuroAI from an engineering background, where do you direct them to learn some neuroscience these days? Books, courses, ...?

And no... I'm not interested in scaring them off with Kandel!

A new study led by @timothysit.bsky.social reveals that different layers of mouse V1 integrate visual and non-visual signals differently.

Activity is dominated by vision (or spontaneous fluctuations) in L2/3 and by movement in L5. This leads to different geometries.

Happy to share this updated Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on 'Associationist Theories of Thought' with
@ericman.bsky.social. Among other things, we included a new major section on reinforcement learning. Many thanks to Eric for bringing me on board!

Great write up of the lab's work on inattentional blindness (out recently in @elife.bsky.social: elifesciences.org/articles/100...), ft. senior author @ianbphillips.bsky.social!

Expert navigators deploy rational complexity–based decision precaching for large-scale real-world planning | PNAS Efficient planning is a distinctive hallmark of intelligence in humans, who routinely make rapid inferences over complex world contexts. However, s...

We recently published this paper in PNAS exploring how London cab drivers plan routes.

We found that entropy of streets & successor representations explain planning speed.

It was fantastic working on this with Eva Griesbauer, Dan McNamee, and Hugo Spiers.

Confirmation bias through selective readout of information encoded in human parietal cortex - Nature Communications People often discard incoming information when it contradicts their pre-existing beliefs about the world. Here, the authors show that this discarded information is precisely encoded in the brain, but ...

New paper in @natcomms.nature.com: “Confirmation bias through selective readout of information encoded in human parietal cortex” (rdcu.be/etlR7) from my work in Donner lab. Jointly lead by Hame Park, Ayelet Arazi, & me, together with Marco Celotto, Stefano Panzeri, Alan Stocker and Tobias Donner. 🧵👇🏽

Violent Communication in Scientific Paper Reviews In peer review for scientific and technical papers, peer reviews occasionally discuss the paper authors directly. In this post I argue that this behavior can be toxic: it harms the review process, the...

This new blog post describes some toxic peer reviews I've received in vision science, in terms of NVC. I discuss a simple rule that would fix the problem (already used at SIGGRAPH, CVPR): reviews should be about the paper, not the authors.

We are working on adding some interactive components like search and (beta) integration with LLMs.

Hope this is useful and feel free to submit Github issues to help us improve the text!

Amazing!! Well done!! 🥳

Beautiful to see this initiative from a group of like minded PhD students collaborating together! 🚀

This week at @cvprconference.bsky.social, we present the paper with my favorite acronym: MaDCoW, for rendering wide-angle photographs without marginal distortion. Details: openaccess.thecvf.com/content/CVPR...

Congrats to @columbiauniversity.bsky.social scientist @lintonvision.bsky.social, who received the David Marr Medal from the Applied Vision Association @theava-uk.bsky.social for "pioneering research on visual experience."

🏆 👁️ 🧠

Absolute honor to be awarded the David Marr Medal by the Applied Vision Association @theava-uk.bsky.social

Looking forward to my talk “Five Illusions Challenge Our Understanding of Visual Experience”

Thanks so much to NOMIS Foundation,
