Neural representation of nouns and verbs in congenitally blind and sighted individuals https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-63423-0 "In blind individuals, language processing activates not only classic language networks, but also the 'visual' cortex."

Neural representation of nouns and verbs in congenitally blind and sighted individuals - Nature Communications
In blind individuals, language processing activates the brain visual areas. Here, researchers show that these activations might primarily reflect physical parameters of objects and actions, retrieved from linguistic meaning.

Position-Blind Ptychography: Viability of image reconstruction via data-driven variational inference
In this work, we present and investigate the novel blind inverse problem of position-blind ptychography, i.e., ptychographic phase retrieval without any knowledge of scan positions, which then must be recovered jointly with the image. The motivation for this problem comes from single-particle diffractive X-ray imaging, where particles in random orientations are illuminated and a set of diffraction patterns is collected. If one uses a highly focused X-ray beam, the measurements would also become…

The joint statements coming out of the Summit on Digital Sovereignty miss a structural blind spot: we keep talking about AI while ignoring the system that actually shapes public opinion at scale - social media. Social media is critical infrastructure. It governs what people see, what narratives take hold, and how fast disinformation spreads. As long as Europe remains dependent on a handful of US platforms, we have no meaningful control over the integrity of our own information ecosystem. Thi…
