“…the classical interpretation of positive and negative BOLD signal changes in terms of increased or decreased neural activity may be too simplistic and we recommend incorporating quantitative MRI or additional CBF measurements for a more accurate assessment of neuronal activity.”

Now out in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience!

Here we examined the degree to which dorsal and ventral visual pathways can functionally reorganize after children have half of their brain surgically removed (!!)

Fabulous paper combining human lesion data, macaque electrophysiology, and DNNs to investigate the role of the perirhinal cortex in perception. (Yes, it took me two years to read it. It's dense, and possibly so am I.) By Tyler Bonnen, Dan Yamins, and Anthony Wagner. www.cell.com/neuron/abstr... 🧠🟦

Many researchers in cognitive neuroscience and deep learning seem to assume that inference in the brain is hierarchical. 

Our new Nature Reviews Neuroscience paper questions this assumption and proposes the shallow brain hypothesis.
