Selected Work


EEG-Language Pretraining for Pathology Detection Sam Gijsen, Kerstin Ritter
Project 2

First-of-its-kind EEG-language model for downstream clinical tasks. We show that multimodal models integrating natural language learn more useful representations of neural data.

Neural surprise in somatosensory Bayesian learning Sam Gijsen, Miro Grundei, Robert T. Lange, Dirk Ostwald, Felix Blankenburg
Project 2

Computational modeling of neural signals using information-theoretic measures shows perceptual learning can be described as a process of probabilistic inference.

Active inference and the two-step task Sam Gijsen, Miro Grundei, Felix Blankenburg
Project 2

Compared to reinforcement learning, active inference models can better describe human sequential decision-making using probablistic surprise minimization.
