#neuroAI preprint alert: studying the convergence of multimodal AI features with brain activity during movie watching. Notably identifies brain areas where multimodal features outperform unimodal stimuli representations. And it uses @cneuromod.ca 's movie10 dataset :) https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.20027
The belief that artificial consciousness is coming crucially depends on the assumption that consciousness is a computation.

Two key takeaways stood out at #SONA2025:
➡️ Open-access datasets from Africa are emerging. But barriers to broader data sharing remain.
➡️ Equitable, collaborative partnerships between high- and low-income research communities are essential to global progress.
