  • Prof. Kreiman gives a lecture at UC Berkeley

    09/18/2024 Successes and challenges in computational models of vision We now have powerful computer vision algorithms that can segment scenes, label objects, and recognize actions. It is tempting to use these algorithms as models of visual processing in biological brains. I will provide an overview of some of the successes in using neural network models to partially describe visual behavior and predict neuronal responses in the visual system of monkeys and humans, focusing on the ventral stream associated with object recognition.… Read more

  • The next 200 milliseconds

    08/08/2024 Prof. Kreiman gives a lecture on the dynamics of cognition at the Brains, Minds and Machines This lecture introduces a discussion of the complex recurrent and top-down signals that interact with sensory processes to interpret visual scenes, including contextual reasoning, eye movements and visual search, and pattern completion.

  • Current models of visual cortex fail to generalize

    05/01/2024 Spandan Madan gives a talk at the Center for Brain Science Neurolunch Spandan scrutinizes the ability of models of visual cortex to explain neuronal responses and finds a poor ability to extrapolate to novel stimuli, forcing us to revisit whether such models capture the critical properties of vision.
