🚨 Also, I’ll soon be looking for a job! Feel free to dm me if you know someone who knows someone who works on something cool. I’m excited to connect and learn about post-doc opportunities (in Europe and beyond)

📊 I was involved in launching THINGS-data, containing thousands of fMRI, MEG, and behavioral responses to objects. We show how these can be used to test hypotheses about object vision and semantics. Very proud to have contributed! 💪

THINGS-data, a multimodal collection of large-scale datasets for investigating object representations in human brain and behavior
THINGS-data reflects three large-scale neuroimaging and behavioral datasets of object processing in humans, comprising densely sampled functional MRI and magnetoencephalographic recordings, as well as...

🧠 My latest work focused on how the visual system is organized, and how this structure is linked to properties of objects that matter for perception and behavior. Check out our latest paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41562-024-01980-y

Distributed representations of behaviour-derived object dimensions in the human visual system - Nature Human Behaviour
Contier et al. show that dimensions are superior to categories at predicting brain responses to visual objects.

These dimensions are interpretable and capture both perceptual and conceptual properties underlying human similarity judgments. Here, @olivercontier.bsky.social ran an encoding model to identify where in the brain he would find information about these dimensions. 7/n
