A new computational model mimics humans’ ability to predict the emotions of others. It’s based on the idea that “the mental states underlying emotion are about what you wanted, what you expected, what happened, and who saw,” says Rebecca Saxe. mitsha.re/ZMsL50OGHv7
ALT Four illustrated heads have lines connects to region with scribbles, which connect to the various emotions printed at the top. The words "joy", "grief", "excitement", "surprise", "relief", "guilt", and "fury" are in black text with different color backgrounds.

I'm psyched to share a new study led by @meenakshik93, with @apurvaratan collaborating: Data-driven methods applied to the NSD fMRI dataset reveals that the ventral visual pathway has neural populations that respond very selectively to images of food: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

[news, publication] CBMM Researchers Dobs and Kanwisher's new paper in Science Advances discusses when AI is tasked with visually identifying objects and faces, it assigns specific components of its network to face recognition — just like the human brain.

A new system makes it easier for severely motor-impaired individuals who communicate using a single switch to select letters or words from an interface. The technology is more flexible than other options and could be also used for tasks like drawing. mitsha.re/w6v250IAONw
ALT A severely motor-impaired person is using the new system. There are four clock figures with their hands and different times at the top of the image. Each clock figure has a different letter next to it.

“We show it can be done much faster by baking in some knowledge of physics, which allows the robot to use gradient-based planning algorithms to learn,” says @IBM's @gan_chuang. bit.ly/3x5e4fw
