I can only guess about the encroaching panic among Neuralink Blindsight engineers as they are running out of time (i.e. Elon Musk's patience), with the first brain implant in a human scheduled for 2026, and still not even a monkey movie showing decent progress.

Check out @michaengesee.bsky.social 's preprint on individual differences in expectations about natural scenes and how they shape how we perceive and neurally represent scenes. 👁️🧠👨🦱👩🦰👩🦳
I’m excited to share the first preprint from my PhD project!
Together with Daniel Kaiser (@dkaiserlab.bsky.social), we investigated how internal models shape inter-individual differences in the perception and neural processing of natural scenes.
