What do you see in this image?
Deep learning has closed the gap with human vision on many benchmarks. But does it mean that deep nets are *as robust* as humans in rare scenarii, such as when objects are shown in unusual poses?
We explore this question: arxiv.org/abs/2402.03973

Read my latest #research on drug repurposing for retinal degenerations published with @SpringerNature / @NaturePortfolio in @NatureComms.
Big thanks to major funding from @NatEyeInstitute @NIH

A new paper from our lab links human perception to retinal circuit function at the sensitivity limit of vision. It is freshly published @naturecomms: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…. @LifeSciHelsinki @helsinkiuni @AaltoUniversity #QuantalBehavior
Our preprint @biorxiv_neurosci resolves the sensitivity limit of human vision from the retina to perception: “Human retina trades single-photon detection for high-fidelity contrast encoding”. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #QuantalBehavior @LifeSciHelsinki @AaltoResearch

Horrible morning today in Israel. Woke up to sirens at 6:30am and the horrific news, pictures and videos just keeps coming all day. Our hearts are with the hundreds of families targeted by Hamas terrorists along the southern border.
What a nice pre #ERM2023 week in Helsinki with two inspiring visits and talks by @michaeltrido
and @KeisukeYonehara in my labs @helsinkiuni & @AaltoUniversity! Looking forward to the science action at the #ERM2023 meeting in Tübingen next (@teulerlab @CellTypist @NeuroFishh)!

Ever observed a displaced retinal ganglion cell and wondered what’s going on? 🤔

Little blurb about our elife paper ( doi.org/10.7554/eLife.81579) and website (github.com/angueyralab/drRNA…).
A new paper by Juan Angueyra (BBI, BIOL) demonstrates a method for isolating single cells and individually sequencing their RNA.
The result is a comprehensive readout of 150 genes that could be involved in the generation of photoreceptors.
