🧠 Mechanistic interpretability for the brain 🧠
Early visual neurons have had a clean mathematical description for decades (Gabor functions), while higher visual areas have remained notoriously hard to characterize.
Our new paper, led by @vedanglad, shows that natural language
How well can you describe the feature selectivity of a vision neuron … with words? Interpretability has long borrowed from neuroscience — and maybe it can give back too! 🧵
