Unlike the brain, most ANNs lack any kind of organization of units🧠

In our paper (ICLR 2025) with @mayukh091 @apurvaratan, we present TopoLoss, a simple, scalable way to add brain-like topography to AI models with minimal performance loss🧵

🧠Excited to share MOSAIC: a unified fMRI mega-dataset: 430k+ trials, 160k stimuli, 93 subjects (and more to come!) all in a single brain space

Enables massive scale for modeling the visual cortex with just 2 lines of code

Artificial neural networks can predict neural responses of the human brain (fMRI), however,

they are vulnerable to small-scale adversarial attacks imperceptible to humans 🤖🧠

In our study with @nikolasmcneal @apurvaratan accepted at Neurips 2024 Unireps workshop, we find 👇
