Thrilled to share this new preprint with research led by @HesseJanis. These results have forced me to reconsider some my most basic intuitions about visual perception and consciousness, and I’m incredibly happy to have been part of this project.

1/ We discovered something totally unexpected about the neural structure of consciousness that overturns decades of thinking on its biological basis and brings us significantly closer to the recipe for generating conscious awareness.

Out today in @Nature: we show that individual neurons have diverse tuning to a decision variable computed by the entire population, revealing a unifying geometric principle for the encoding of sensory and dynamic cognitive variables.

RNNs are often used as a model for exploring how the brain may solve specific tasks. In a new preprint, we show that, depending on the architecture, RNNs find different circuit solutions, behaving differently when exposed to novel stimuli.

(1/4) Excited to share our perspective article with @EngelTatiana and @MGENK out today in Nature Reviews Neuroscience! We highlight work which unifies the neural manifold and circuit perspectives on cognition and argue that they are inseparable. nature.com/articles/s41583-0…
