Introducing CorText: a framework that fuses brain data directly into a large language model, allowing for interactive neural readout using natural language.

tl;dr: you can now chat with a brain scan 🧠💬

ob man in der eigenen Wohngegend Probleme mit Flüchtlingen hätte. Auf diese Frage (die recht nah an der ursprünglichen Stadtbild-Aussage ist) haben 74% mit Nein geantwortet. Die Mehrheit hat also der ursprünglichen Aussage widersprochen und der neuen konkreteren zugestimmt

In der konkretisierten Form, ja. Die ursprüngliche Aussage (an die die meisten denken wenn man von der Stadtbild-Aussage spricht) ging aber nur um Migranten, Aufenthaltsstatus, aktuelle Arbeit oder Einhalten von Regeln waren nicht genannt. In der Umfrage vom ZDF gab es auch eine Frage, ob 1/2

In dem Kommentar des ZDF steht, dass der Kontext jetzt erst im Nachhinein hinzugefügt wurde

High-level visual representations in the human brain are aligned with large language models - Nature Machine Intelligence Doerig, Kietzmann and colleagues show that the brain’s response to visual scenes can be modelled using language-based AI representations. By linking brain activity to caption-based embeddings from lar...

End-to-end topographic networks as models of cortical map formation and human visual behaviour - Nature Human Behaviour Lu et al. introduce all-topographic neural networks as a parsimonious model of the human visual cortex.

This one should work:

My first ever preprint is now out. We show the emergence of complex computations given only the rather simple underlying goal of energy efficiency.
