While we do not directly compare with image-EEG (yet - will do so in the #VIDI) I suspect this is unique to video vision 🎥🔥 [contains quote post or other embedded content]31 Oct 2025 15:52 +0000at://did:plc:gphlp23mlxjup5z3bd2evqlj/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4iti2w3kc2shttps://bsky.app/profile/irisgroen.bsky.social/post/3m4buh2ljtk2sHonoured to receive an NWO #VIDI grant to study 'the TikTok Brain': representational alignment of brains and deep nets for #video!

De studie is nog erg 'preliminary', maar het is wel belangrijk dat er aandacht is voor hoe AI het leerproces en denkvermogen beïnvloedt. https://www.nporadio1.nl/fragmenten/nos-met-het-oog-op-morgen/0197b303-843a-721a-852c-227b3fa27dd3/2025-06-27-maakt-ai-ons-dommer30 Jun 2025 08:19 +0000at://did:plc:gphlp23mlxjup5z3bd2evqlj/app.bsky.feed.post/3lssqsbx5wc2h
