New today in @Nature: your visual cortex contains touch-based body maps. bit.ly/VisualBodyMaps
Your brain transforms what you see into first-person, body-referenced codes: A previously unknown bridge between vision and touch.

๐ง New preprint: Why do deep neural networks predict brain responses so well?
We find a striking dissociation: itโs not shared object recognition. Alignment is driven by sensitivity to texture-like local statistics.

Modeling neural contrast sensitivity functions in human visual cortex
Abstract. The contrast sensitivity function (CSF) characterizes visual function, and is widely used in research on visual perception and ophthalmological disorders. The CSF describes the lowest contra...
Extremely proud to see our (@carlienroelofzen.bsky.social & myself) work published! Here we explore how the contrast sensitivity function can be measured, using fMRI! We are able to see effects of eccentricity and polar angle on CS
