The superior colliculus--more important for cognition than what the textbooks would have you believe. @UChicago_Brains

New FreedmanLab paper shows that the primate superior colliculus is strongly and causally engaged in abstract cognition. #Neuroscience #UChicago @UChicago_Brains

Very happy and proud to share the latest theory publication from recent FreedmanLab Ph.D. graduate @wjeffjohnston--Redundant representations are required to disambiguate simultaneously presented complex stimuli. Congrats Jeff!

Can't believe Sliman Bensmaia is gone. One of my very closest friends, my FuzZz band mate, songwriting partner, and UChicago neuroscience colleague. Like the brother I never had. You had a such a great run, but you had so much left to do. I'll keep playing your songs.

This is work from former FreedmanLab postdoc Yang Zhou, now a faculty member at IDG/McGovern Institute for Brain Science at Peking University. Congrats Yang!

It is a such a great feeling to see past Ph.D. students succeed after leaving my lab! Very happy to share the new paper from @wjeffjohnston working with @StefanoFusi2 at Columbia, showing how abstract encoding emerges in RNNs with training.
Excited to have my work with @StefanoFusi2 on the emergence of abstract representations in neural networks trained to perform multiple tasks published today:

Our study also introduces a new tensor-regression based multilinear GLM analytical framework, which was key for understanding neural representations in this study and which we hope will be useful for others in the community. 🚀Kenneth Latimer everyone!
