A post-migration re-#introduction!
I’m currently a postdoc in Marlene Behrmann’s lab at Carnegie Mellon. I’m broadly interested in understanding the #psychology and #neuroscience underlying the #development of cognitive abilities such as categorization.
Recently I’ve been exploring the broader biological network that may support may object categorization (e.g., doi.org/10.1016/j.tics.2022.09…) and the #computational processes that may support few-shot categorization in infancy (e.g., doi.org/10.7554/eLife.74943)
Perception of an object’s global shape is best described by a model of skeletal structure in human infants
Six- to twelve-month old infants, who have little linguistic or object experience, classify objects by relying on a invariant representation of global shape known as the shape skeleton.Vladislav Ayzenberg (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd)

>fheroes2 is a free and open source game engine reimplementation of the classic Heroes of Might and Magic II,
Is it remake of game, just engine or it's remake of game using open source engine? I'm lost. what does "engine" here refers to?

Clear Is a Pox on America’s Airports
Happy holidays to everyone but the company for skipping the security line.David Zipper (Slate)
As a very frequent flier I consider Clear a godsend. Yes, it is insane that it’s necessary. Yes, perverse incentives created the company and it has perverse incentives. Yes, tax filing software is a good analogy.
But a couple hundred dollars to save tens of hours per year in line, and more importantly, to reduce the variability of airport-to-gate time? Hell yeah. And if people who want greater ease end contributing disproportionately to airport revenue… is that so bad?
fun fact: the TSA has zero jurisdiction before you actually reach the agent. Everything before that belongs to the airport. So any person can just push to their way to the front of the line, and there is nothing official the TSA agent can do about it.
I’ve seen this happen twice at SJC, and both times the TSA agent apologized to the angry crowd still in line and said there was nothing he/she could do.
