Neuronal oscillations, exhaust fumes or causally efficacious?? Check this great discussion in the Neuroscience & Philosophy Salon! With Sander van Bree Dan Levenstein Matt Krause (Matt Krause) Richard Gao (Richard Gao) Recording: youtu.be/myx914hfcic

How hard do people make it to combine motherhood and academia? Erin Zimmerman's book Unrooted is a salutary reminder, prompting today's blogpost #womeninscience occamstypewriter.org/athenedonald/2…

We discuss excellent new work by Parks, Schneider et al. in Nature Neuroscience that sleep can be classified from short data on millisecond and micrometer scales, hence, challenging the traditional view that sleep is only defined by brain-wide oscillations nature.com/articles/s4159… (2/4)

🧠 I’m excited to share our latest preprint with Emily Stephen and undergraduate S. Oyama! We introduce a stochastic forward modeling framework to improve the interpretation of neural power spectral effects—like spectral slope—in biophysical terms. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🧵on Japan's underrated contributions to neural nets. Shun-ichi Amari UTokyo | 東京大学 RIKEN is another one of my heroes. His 1972 paper on associative memory models modeled Hebbian plasticity using an outer product weight matrix.

I'm in Maastricht! So cool that this is happening here :)

We created SynthID, a robust digital watermarking technology to tag & identify AI-generated content. Now we’re open-sourcing SynthID-Text so developers can use it to embed & detect watermarks in text outputs from their own LLMs. Published today in nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

I think this is the only hopeful thing I've seen on here so far. This is what could happen that makes us all a little more hopeful for the future.

New piece: Why the widespread public display of rage — and even glee — after the killing of a healthcare CEO can’t be dismissed as mere online edgelords and what history tells us about the limits to the corporate world responding with even more security and gated lives.

Lovely thread. Wonder if the sleep dependent memory consolidation is the expensive kind in humans.

The book offers a science-driven approach to culture change where we live and work. It shows how we can use the power of situations to affect positive change and reduce inequality by connecting individual action to collective action. Curious? Visit changethewallpaper.com

Sensory inputs trigger a fast-traveling wave, followed by a slower wave carrying top-down info (value/choice). The late wave reactivates ensembles in superficial cortical layers. Very cool science.org/doi/full/10.11… #neuroscience

Let's review. Game on. The question: Is there evidence that population-level variation exists in susceptibility to visual illusions? Dorsa Amir & Chaz Firestone wrote a fascinating paper to which I will reply in two storm tweets. I see major problems. Storm 1 coming...

Lets stand strong for science!
