How does the human brain represent quantities generated internally during mental calculation? Check out our latest work conducted at @NeuroSpin_91 published in @NatureComms: doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

C-Brains offers competitive funding opportunities for a PhD to foreign students. Keen to participate in some of the first human fMRI on 11.7T Iseult? Consider applying for my project on ultra-high-field imaging of subcortical visual regions: dim-cbrains.fr/en/phd-program…

Would you have thought that object recognition CNNs can encode information on object number across changes in identity and context? New preprint, with Thomas Chapalain and @BertrandThirion, on visual #number_sense: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What do you see in this image? Deep learning has closed the gap with human vision on many benchmarks. But does it mean that deep nets are *as robust* as humans in rare scenarii, such as when objects are shown in unusual poses? We explore this question: arxiv.org/abs/2402.03973 🧵

An interesting workshop dedicated to mechanisms of number processing taking place in Padova: dpg.unipd.it/en/cnenum

Interesting modeling work on the idea that a number sense could arise from manipulation that hasn't received too much attention: nature.com/articles/s4159…

What do you see in these images? These are called hybrid images, originally proposed by Aude Oliva et al. They change appearance depending on size or viewing distance, and are just one kind of perceptual illusion that our method, Factorized Diffusion, can make.

Press conference with the French minister of research @sretailleau to reveal first in vivo images of the human brain acquired at 11.7T. Shown here at the same protocol acquisitions at 0.2x0.2x1.0mm3 resolutionsin 4' 20" at 3, 7 and 11.7T illustrating the gain in image quality. Exciting! cea.fr/english/Pages/…

The first in vivo images of the human brain at 11.7 T were offically revealed today. Bravo to all those involved.

How many scene-selective areas are within the human brain? Here we showed evidence for a new scene-selective area within the posterior intraparietal gyrus that we named PIGS. 🐷 doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… @eLife

New study out in @ScienceAdvances: We show that the degree to which information is integrated across natural images (both in DNNs and in the human brain) can predict how beautiful they appear to us! With @sanjeev_nara @jlugiessen science.org/doi/full/10.11…
