Can a Neural Encoding Model Replicate an fMRI Visualization Study?

Most knowledge of graphical perception comes from behavioral studies. Understanding from a neural perspective is much more limited due in part to neuroimaging studies'expensiveness and difficulty to conduct. In this paper, we evaluate whether Meta's Tribe V2 neural encoding model can recover neural contrasts from a vis...

Who Chooses the Artwork? Curatorial Agency and Distributed Intent in Botto

Botto is often described as a decentralized autonomous artist, but its authorship cannot be located in image generation alone. This paper examines Botto as an agentic curatorial system in which generation, ranking, voting, feedback, and minting form a recursive loop. Drawing on Botto's documentation and prior accounts...

When AI Companions Disappear: Relational Continuity and Collective Contestation during China's National AI Regulatory Transition

AI model updates and service withdrawals can disrupt relationships with AI companions, but research has largely examined individual platform events. Less is known about users' responses when multiple providers implement shared national regulations. We examine users' reactions and collective contestation surrounding Chi...

Time Machine Experiments: Using Historically-Bounded AI for Inquiry into the Human Mind

Can interacting with someone from 1930, with no knowledge of what happened after, influence a person's perception of the past? People reason about the present against a picture of the past without observing it. The past is reconstructed from memory and testimony, but this reconstruction has been filtered through everyt...

Profiling Handwriting-Process Deviations in Developmental Dysgraphia: An Open, Normatively-Referenced Instrument

Online handwriting captured on digitizing tablets yields hundreds of kinematic, temporal, spatial, and dynamic features. These features are rarely organized into interpretable, reusable constructs, and, although standardized tests norm the handwritten product, no openly available instrument places a child's handwriting...

The Dynamic Organization of Sustained Human-AI Cognition: From Construct-Level Change to Relational Structure

A dynamic cognitive organization framework is proposed that shifts analysis from construct-level change to relational organization anchored in the person's current task-cognitive state under sustained AI participation, and proposes a path-specific recursive principle whereby interaction outcomes, costs, and experiences...

Sensemaking as Artifact: Accumulated Influence in AI-Mediated Information Environments

This paper considers the viewer's immediate interaction with a source artifact and generative AI, and examines what becomes consequential when the viewer's sensemaking takes communicative form, including communicative commitment, the legibility of transformations and source relationships, and the literacy required to i...

Inheriting the Count: How Visualization Literacy Got Its Measure

Foundational frameworks in visualization have operationalized literacy as an individual competency, measured through chart-comprehension tasks. This focus raises a question: why has measurement become the dominant frame for understanding literacy? Rather than asking whether literacy should be measured, we ask how measu...

Evaluating AI Tutoring at the Speed of Innovation: Practitioner-Led Micro-Randomised Trials of an AI Tutoring Platform in GCSE Science

It is argued that the value of micro-RCTs for educational AI lies not in replacing definitive evaluation with small studies, but in enabling a rapid, cumulative evaluation architecture in which randomised estimates can be generated, replicated and updated as technologies and their implementation evolve.

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…

Q&A: How AI came to model the “messy” human mind

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
