Title: Foundation models of the brain Abstract: You … your memories and ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will, are in fact no more than the behavior of a vast…

Title: Constraints of efficient neural computation Abstract: Neural systems adapt to the statistical structure of the environment to support behavior. While it is generally recognized that such adaptation is subject…

Title: Are Vision-Language Models Checking or Looking? Abstract: Today’s AI vision systems are trained on vast amounts of data, yet it remains unclear whether they simply retrieve memorized answers or actively reason. We conjecture that hallucinations and limited creativity in these models stem from an over-reliance on superficial "checking" rather than active "looking." Checking retrieves the…
