The Brain Encoding Response Generator (BERG) survey Thank you for taking part in this survey aimed at (anonymously) collecting your thoughts and suggestions on a new resource called the Brain Encoding Response Generator (BERG; https://github.com/gifale...

We’d love your feedback on BERG (github.com/gifale95/BERG): pretrained encoding models + a Python toolkit for generating in silico neural responses for in silico experimentation. Your input will make BERG more useful and reliable!

The time course of visuo-semantic representations in the human brain is captured by combining vision and language models The human visual system provides us with a rich and meaningful percept of the world, transforming retinal signals into visuo-semantic representations. For a model of these representations, here we lev...

Vision Deep Neural Networks and Large Language Models complement each other in predicting EEG responses to images, providing a more accurate model of the time course of visuo-semantic processing in the human brain.
