Jess ThompsonMy latest work “Zero-shot counting with a dual-stream neural network model” is now published in Neuron. We present evidence for an enactive theory of the role of posterior parietal cortex in visual scene understanding and structure learning. Like the primate brain, our model apprehends a visual scene via a sequence of foveated glimpses. Both glimpse contents and glimpse locations are fed into our model, enabling the model to learn abstractions that are grounded in action (here, eye movements) rather than merely in the sensory domain. We show that this architecture enables zero-shot generalization of a previously learned structure (numerosity) to new objects in new contexts in a setting where a vanilla CNN fails to generalize. Our model also replicates several signatures of (the development of) human counting behaviour and learns representations that mimic neural codes for space and number in the primate brain. <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/neuralnetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neuralnetworks</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/compneuro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compneuro</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neuroscience</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/4ECognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#4ECognition</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/attention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#attention</a> <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627324007293" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627324007293</a>

CatieI come to <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/posthumanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#posthumanism</a> from a science background, via <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#permaculture</a> > <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/timothymorton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#timothymorton</a> > <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/francescaferrando" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#francescaferrando</a> . I think I’m doing it backwards, because only now am I diving into <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/literarure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#literarure</a> , <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> , <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#religion</a> , and the rest of the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/humanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humanities</a> . It seems that many folx come to PH from a <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/humanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humanities</a> background. I’m now discovering a whole slew of things I never knew existed! And finding that a whole bunch of people are studying the things I thought I was the alone in thinking about… so exciting!<a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/4Ecognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#4Ecognition</a> , <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/cognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cognition</a>, <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/panpsychism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#panpsychism</a> , <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/digitalhumanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitalhumanities</a> , <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/cognitivenarratology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cognitivenarratology</a> , <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#consciousness</a>, <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/reality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reality</a> , <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/newmaterialisms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newmaterialisms</a> , <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/dualism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dualism</a> , <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/phenomenology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#phenomenology</a>, <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/autoethnography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autoethnography</a> , <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/metaphysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#metaphysics</a> , <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ursulaleguin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ursulaleguin</a> , <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/krishnamurti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krishnamurti</a> where have you been all my life?

Catie<a href="https://mastodon.social/@nickbrancazio" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nickbrancazio</a> Hi! I ran into your account when I did a search for <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/4Ecognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#4Ecognition</a> (which I recently learned about from <a href="https://hcommons.social/@MerjaPolvinen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@MerjaPolvinen</a> ). I resonate with some of your posts and am super curious about your work of bringing philosophy to primary schools. That sounds amazing and intriguing! What does that look like? Would you be willing to share just a bit about your work in that realm?

Catie<a href="https://hcommons.social/@MerjaPolvinen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@MerjaPolvinen</a> Great to meet you too! Yes, I had no idea what I was diving into when I chose to study the “self!” Before this recent research, I didn’t even really identify with having a “self;” now it turns out there’s a whole new side of being alive that I’m coming to terms with. My research continues. As for <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/4Ecognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#4Ecognition</a> , wow! I did a super brief google search and definitely want to dive into this further! I’m pretty sure this is right up my alley, so thank you! Is there a connection between 4E and <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/posthumanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#posthumanism</a> that you’ve found? From the very brief google search, it seems like there may be some potential intersection? Just was wondering your take on that. Thank you again for the tip, and for the recommendation to look into Gallagher and Zahavi!
