FOVI: A biologically-inspired foveated interface for deep vision models
Nicholas M. Blauch, George A. Alvarez, Talia Konkle
Human vision is foveated, with variable resolution peaking at the center of a large field of view; this reflects an efficient trade-off for active sensing, allowing eye-movements t…

Topoformer: brain-like topographic organization in Transformer language models through spatial querying and reweighting
Taha Binhuraib, Greta Tuckute, Nicholas Blauch
Spatial functional organization is a hallmark of biological brains: neurons are arranged topographically according to their response properties, at multiple scales. In contrast, re…

TopoLM: brain-like spatio-functional organization in a topographic language model
Neil Rathi, Johannes Mehrer, Badr AlKhamissi +3
Neurons in the brain are spatially organized such that neighbors on tissue often exhibit similar response profiles. In the human language system, experimental studies have observed…
