Outstanding talk by Anne Brunet Brunet Lab today at the Gladstone Institutes. Such crystal clear and creative scientific thinking about fundamental aging mechanisms. (I am now thinking to get an aquarium with some African turquoise killifish)

I'm speechless. Not peer-reviewed yet but a submitted paper. The 'presented images' were shown to a group of humans. The 'reconstructed images' were the result of an fMRI output to Stable Diffusion. In other words, #stablediffusion literally read people's minds. Source 👇

We are grateful 🙌 to Jessica Shugart and Alzforum for communicating the story of our work about visual #creativity in #FTD so beautifully 🎨🧠🌤️: bit.ly/ALZ_FTDCreativ… Bruce Miller Bill Seeley Global Brain Health Institute UCSF Fein Memory and Aging Center

#Atypical community: Please submit your research for our special issue in Front Neurosci! We will include original papers, but also case reports and perspectives. UCSF MAC community: Please don't hesitate to participate by writing a piece about interesting case(s) from the MAC!

This one made my (spring) day 🌸🌸🌸 #creativity

I am looking to submit a Diversity Supplement to The National Institute on Aging (NIA) to hire a coordinator to work on cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging of aging, and emotions. Please spread the word, and if interested, reach out. I will be in person at #CNS2023 and at #AffectScience2023

Exceptional opportunity to work with a terrific and super professional team!

Such an intriguing story

Iconic

"Interfering with DMN activity through direct cortical stimulation...caused a decrease in #creativity, specifically reducing the originality of the alternate uses, without affecting creative fluency or mind wandering". Welcome to the future Ben Shofty &team bit.ly/DMNBS
