Overall, both model and human increase attention to things and decrease attention to stuff compared to baseline pixel-count-based probability. When human fixation to individual labels disagrees with this average pattern, model attention also tends to mimic the human. 10/15

What are foundation models in neuroscience? I'll be giving a talk next week to the NIH neuroscience ethics working group. I started writing a short blog post which snowballed into this 5,000 word essay neuroai.science/p/foundation…

❗Bicyclist fatalities peak in the month of August, with more than 930 people killed on U.S. roadways from 2013-2022.❗ Drivers 🚗 — remember to share the road and give bicyclists enough space. 🚴 Tips to keep yourself and others safe here: NHTSA.gov/BicycleSafety
