We created a new fMRI method called ‘voxel-preferred images’ (VPIs) to analyze large fMRI datasets of responses to images. Our paper is out in @PNASNews, including a cover image! Thanks to the authors: @C_Racey, Kendrick Kay @cvnlab, Anna Franklin @ColourSussex & Jenny Bosten 1/

Can you tell which of your eyes is responsible for your visual perception? In our latest paper @clalunghi , @SamuelRecht, and I studied how attentional training can help people tell which of their eyes sees an image. 1/8 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Learning to discriminate the eye‐of‐origin during continuous flash suppression

We questioned whether adults can be trained to discriminate the eye-of-origin of their perceptions and if this ability depends on the strength of the monocular channels during continuous flash...

Our review paper 'Ten recommendations for reducing the carbon footprint of research computing in human neuroimaging' was recently published in @ImagingNeurosci! doi.org/10.1162/imag_a_00043 Here's a quick summary of each of our recommendations 🧵

Ten recommendations for reducing the carbon footprint of research computing in human neuroimaging

Abstract. Given that scientific practices contribute to the climate crisis, scientists should reflect on the planetary impact of their work. Research computing can have a substantial carbon footprint...

Meet stimupy – simply crafting common visual stimuli, perfect for exploring contrast, brightness, lightness, and more aspects of visual perception. Warning: May induce a state of serene hypnosis. 😌✨ #neuroscience #Python #openscience @LSchmittwilken @JorisVincent

New paper(s) alert. In two linked papers I argue that we have fundamentally misunderstood the ancestry and evolutionary history of retinal circuits for (colour) vision. Part I @NatureEcoEvo rdcu.be/dwCEj Part II @PLOSBiology doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio…

Sophie Wuerger has died of cancer complications. Sophie made important contributions to color science; her database of spectral samples of skin is invaluable. She was the energy in the room that made a scientific discussion sizzle, she had so much life left. I miss u @SWuerger

I am beyond excited to share a new paper “Rapid, concerted switching of the neural code in inferotemporal cortex,” led by @Yuelin_Shi and Dasheng Bi. We describe a new form of neural computation in which single neurons rapidly change their tuning to temporally multiplex different functions. In < 20 ms, cells switch from a code optimized for face detection to a code optimized for face discrimination. I think this discovery fundamentally changes our current concept of neural representation. (1/N) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
