Seeing double: Clever images open doors for brain research

Reposted by Johns Hopkins Data Science and AI Institute

Johns Hopkins University @jhu.edu · 8d

Researchers at Johns Hopkins created AI-generated “visual anagrams” that reveal how our brains process what we see. A butterfly becomes a bear, a duck becomes a horse, all from the same pixels.

New AI-generated images that appear to be one thing, but something else entirely when rotated, are helping scientists at JHU's Perception & Mind Lab expand their ability to test human perception

Johns Hopkins computer scientists have developed a method that dramatically cuts the environmental costs of fine-tuning #AI. They call it EigenLoRAx and, like the Dr. Seuss character, it’s a nod to a greener future. 🌳
