When crafting my first Citation Diversity Statement, I had questions. @perryzurn, Dani S. Bassett & their colleagues had thoughtful answers. And here they are: a concise why, what and how for the CDS.

Close enough.

How can we make #reinforcementlearning agents learn faster? A new article published in PNASNews proposes a divide-and-conquer approach to RL that allows an agent to combine the solution of known tasks to quickly solve new ones: bit.ly/2Q2vXbl

Dense Associative Memories, aka modern Hopfield networks, have a huge memory storage capacity. But are they biologically realistic? In our new paper with Dmitry Krotov we argue that they can be written in terms of biological variables. arxiv.org/abs/2008.06996

When our behavior looks Bayesian, do we actually rely on internal models of priors and cost functions? See ⁦hansemsohn⁩ new work devising and testing a cool strategy for answering this question. Metamers of Bayesian computation | bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Now out in PNAS!! Where we show robust face selectivity in the fusiform gyrus of congenitally blind participants! Also Nancy Kanwisher @[email protected]’s first tweet! 😊

Another amazing paper from the Ray lab!

Despite efforts to modernise, value investing often produces backward-looking portfolios, thus it has largely missed the rise of tech econ.st/36tHRmy

In a major scientific breakthrough, the latest version of #AlphaFold has been recognised as a solution to one of biology's grand challenges - the “protein folding problem”. It was validated today at #CASP14, the biennial Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction (1/3)

Definitely worth your time!

(1/16) Excited to share new work on the neural code for memories of familiar faces in macaque IT and perirhinal cortex, led by Liang She w/ Yuelin Shi and collaborators Marcus Benna Neuro Theory Network and Stefano Fusi. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our new study is out today in Nature! We demonstrate a brain-computer interface that can turn thoughts about handwriting into text, enabling a person with paralysis to type 18 words per minute – doubling the prior record. 1/3 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Football can be so cruel. But for your personality. For your character. For your bravery... We’ll always be proud of you. And we can’t wait to have you back with us, Bukayo Saka ❤️

Come to my poster to learn more about manifolds in the visual cortex #cosyne2023

Our New Norcia antenna will serve as a back-up for ISRO's ground station during the #Chandrayaan_3 landing, currently planned for Wednesday 23 August.
