Understanding
Brain mapping
- 2024-05: A petavoxel fragment of human cerebral cortex reconstructed at nanoscale resolution (media summary)
- 2025-04: Functional connectomics reveals general wiring rule in mouse visual cortex (media summary)
Computational Analysis
Comparison to computer
- How (and Why) to Think that the Brain is Literally a Computer
- Contextual feature extraction hierarchies converge in large language models and the brain (LLMs are becoming more brain-like as they advance)
Biological vs. artificial neuron
- Single cortical neurons as deep artificial neural networks: Each biological neuron can be simulated using DNN of 5-8 layers
- Mapping Biological Neuron Dynamics into an Interpretable Two-layer Artificial Neural Network
Data processing
- Representational geometry: integrating cognition, computation, and the brain
- Language is primarily a tool for communication rather than thought
- The Unbearable Slowness of Being: Why do we live at 10 bits/s? (preprint)
