Most discriminative stimuli for functional cell type clustering

ICLR 2024poster

Identifying cell types and understanding their functional properties is crucial for unraveling the mechanisms underlying perception and cognition. In the retina, functional types can be identified by carefully selected stimuli, but this requires expert domain knowledge and biases the procedure towar…

Reproducibility of predictive networks for mouse visual cortex

NeurIPS 2024spotlight

Deep predictive models of neuronal activity have recently enabled several new discoveries about the selectivity and invariance of neurons in the visual cortex. These models learn a shared set of nonlinear basis functions, which are linearly combined via a learned weight vector to represent a neuron'…

Visual Data-Type Understanding does not emerge from scaling Vision-Language Models

ICLR 2024poster

Recent advances in the development of vision-language models (VLMs) are yielding remarkable success in recognizing visual semantic content, including impressive instances of compositional image understanding. Here, we introduce the novel task of Visual Data-Type Identification, a basic perceptual sk…
