Human intelligence 🤝 Artificial Intelligence

Scientists at Harvard University’s Kempner Institute at Harvard University are uncovering new insights about natural intelligence with the help of #AI

Excited to share my PhD work in Peyman Golshani 's lab designing and building low-cost miniature 2P microscopes with everyone! They cost < $10k USD (even at low production runs), are fitted with 2 on-board SiPM detectors, and are completely open-source! 1/5 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Interested in doing a MSc thesis in Circuit and Behavior Neuroscience abroad? Check out our new FENS posting fens.org/careers/job-ma… and join our lab in Vienna (Austria).

Thyroid signaling plays a central role in metabolism. ralph i. lawton and Daniel Hochbaum of the Bernardo Sabatini Lab share new research revealing it may regulate human behavior and other important components of health as well. Read more.

@Harvardmed

A great opportunity! I’d go to Ian’s lab if had to start again.

Check out our new Efficient ML seminar series on in partnership with Harvard Data Science Initiative Harvard Medical School and organized by Jonathan Richard Schwarz ... first up are Sara Hooker & Valentina Pyatkin speaking about LLMs. Event is virtual, free and open to everyone! bit.ly/48Pfm0U

Our paper on Cre-dependent reporter mouse of PKA activity is published with Springer Nature in Scientific Reports: rdcu.be/dxYaa. Thanks to the reviewers and editors for constructive feedback, and our wonderful team for working together! The mouse is The Jackson Laboratory (039003).

Want to do lifetime imaging of PKA phosphorylation state? Now there is floxed mouse for that

Already sent to Jax
Jackson Laboratory Repository (Jax: 039003)

Our recent work on the comparison between Transformers and State Space Models for sequence modeling now on arxiv! TLDR - we find a key disadvantage of SSMs compared to Transformers: they cannot copy from their input. 🧵

The mouse #cerebellum directly, rapidly and effectively modulates basal ganglia #dopamine levels and conveys information related to movement initiation, vigor and reward processing

Excited about our long-brewing paper exploring dynamics in multi-regional neural circuits in a delayed movement task. Driven by@esthersselva, Yi Liu, and including Jennifer Colonell, Nuo Li and Shaul Druckmann and others (the MAP collaboration): cell.com/cell/fulltext/… (1/7)

We are at ARO! Come check out Christine Junhui Liu’s poster on VIP signaling in auditory cortex on Sunday afternoon (SU6)!

Thanks to OpenAI’s Noam Brown for joining the Kempner Institute at Harvard University Seminar Series to discuss CICERO, the first #AI agent to achieve human-level performance in the strategy game Diplomacy.

Next in the series : Rajesh Rao on Feb 16.

Yao is one of the deepest thinking scientists and most caring mentors I know. This is a great opportunity

Excited that this program is underway!

Congrats Adam et al
