@coltoncasto.bsky.socialHow can we design experiments that make computational models disagree? One section of our new @natrevneuro.nature.com Review with @kriegeskorte.bsky.social and @heikoschuett.bsky.social examines studies that used stimulus sets designed to elicit distinct predictions from competing models. 1/16
Show Post2/ The cerebellum is engaged during language tasks, and @coltoncasto.bsky.social shows certain subregions are language-selective. How do these regions emerge? It has long been argued that cerebellar functional regions and their properties are inherited from contralateral neocortical inputs.
Show PostIn 2024, @eghbal-hosseini.bsky.social , @coltoncasto.bsky.social, @nogazs.bsky.social, @colinconwell.link, Robert M Richardson, and @evfedorenko.bsky.social selected sentences that elicited decorrelated RDMs across language models and used them in a human fMRI experiment. 10/16
Show PostWhat an incredibly moving and joy-filled 20-year reunion of Saxe-lab past and present. I feel so lucky to have these people be my scientific family.
Show PostNow out in @natcomms.nature.com w/ @evfedorenko.bsky.social: across many people (>1k) and tasks (>300), the the brain's language network reliably shows up in the functional connectome (correlated activity in fMRI). 1/
