The time course of visuo-semantic representations in the human brain is captured by combining vision and language models The human visual system provides us with a rich and meaningful percept of the world, transforming retinal signals into visuo-semantic representations. For a model of these representations, here we lev...

Vision Deep Neural Networks and Large Language Models complement each other in predicting EEG responses to images, providing a more accurate model of the time course of visuo-semantic processing in the human brain.

(4/4) The challenge is open to all, and provides transparent, directly comparable results through a public leaderboard that is updated automatically after each submission to facilitate rapid model assessment and guide development. We look forward to your participation!

(3/4) The top 3-entries will receive prizes for a total of 17,000 € (1st 9,000 €; 2nd 5,000 €; 3rd 3,000 €), and will be invited to present their work this August at the Cognitive Computational Neuroscience (CCN) conference, in Amsterdam.
