Research Focus: The lab explores the cognitive neuroscience of vision, modeling biological visual systems with artificial neural networks. Key areas include developing statistical inference and visualization techniques to bridge theory and experimental data, understanding representational geometry in neural systems, and optimizing deep learning frameworks for neuroscience.
Recent Publications: Highlighted work spans neural network modeling of visual perception, representational similarity analysis, and the topology of brain representations. The lab's methods, such as the TorchLens Python package, enable transparent extraction and visualization of hidden layer activations in neural networks.
Grants: Projects are supported by funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) - Cognitive Neuroscience and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) - NIMH.
Laboratory: The Visual Inference Lab (kriegeskortelab.zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu) is located at Quad 3D, Zuckerman Institute, 3227 Broadway.
