A few weeks ago, our lab attended #CAOS2025 at @cimecunitrento.bsky.social. We really enjoyed the talks and had a great time sharing our work during the poster sessions!
The final talk of #CAOS2025 is given by @taliakonkle.bsky.social highlighting how we can use deep learning to learn about the inductive biases and the features learned and used in vision.
One of the student award winners is @lucakaemmer.bsky.social who showed feedback to foveal early visual cortex during the preparation of saccades that also reflects the content of what participants see. #CAOS2025
Next up is Jeff Bowers criticizing conclusions drawn about the performance of deep learning approaches as explanatory models of vision and language. #CAOS2025 Looking forward to the discussions after the talk.
The final day at #CAOS2025 starts with a talk by Stefania Bracci, making the intriguing proposal that ventral vision is better understood as serving downstream behavior, not recognition alone.
The first day of #CAOS2025 finish with a talk by Roberto Bottini @bottinilab.bsky.social expanding the idea of cognitive spaces in multiple novel directions. Among others, he shows when people randomly name colors the order predicts small eye movements related to color categories in cognitive space.
Fascinating talk by @rhodricusack.bsky.social showing his & @clionaod.bsky.social’s work on 2 and 9-month olds with 130 (!) infants & 20 min (!) data showing a largely similar representation of medial ventral vision but a largely absent response in LO, dovetailing with myelin development. #CAOS2025
Next up is @chazfirestone.bsky.social showcasing his lab’s fascinating research looking not only *what* is *where* but at *how* things relate to each other. Example: people can’t help but complete puzzles in their mind, seeing them even as fewer objects or spreading attention across parts. #CAOS2025
#CAOS2025 starting in Rovereto, with a fantastic talk by Wilma Bainbridge on memorability. Among others,she looked at memorability of paintings in the Art Institute of Chicago, highlighting the role of context, painting size & interestingness on memorability, & that famous pieces are more memorable.
