High school life science teachers in NYC area, apply asap for this free #neuroscience prof. development workshop! Program the NeuroRobot's behavior by building neural networks akin to our own. You'll get curriculum to implement in your classroom. RT 🙏 🔗tinyurl.com/NeuroRobotNYC

Really enjoyed this conversation with Russ Roberts Russ Roberts. We disagree on some things but we aired our disagreements respectfully and attentively. You can watch at the URL below or listen on my Nonzero Podcasts feed--and this will be airing on Russ's EconTalk podcast as well.

📣 Free NeuroRobots workshop for high-school life science teachers in/around Detroit! Reg now to test our curriculum. You'll get to use these guys in your classroom - code their behavior by building brainlike neural networks! 📅 Sat, May 25 🔗 tinyurl.com/NeuroRobotDetr… (RT 🙏)

We haven't tried yet, but you can probably build a neural network to play hide & seek with Neurorobot. #fens2024 #fensforum2024 FENS

Some people believe consciousness will “emerge” in AI as classical neural networks grow in size and complexity, while others believe we will need more progress in our understanding of physics before #consciousAI is possible… Either way we need to be doing more research into it

AI is becoming masterful at creating philosophical zombies - systems that mimic conscious behavior but are likely not conscious. If an AI "copies" training data, acting as though it has inner subjective experience and feelings - but doesn't - what issues might arise from that?

Ladies and gentleman they have solved the ADHD education problem

To advance foundational AI, we must solve continual learning and catastrophic forgetting. New research by our team introduces Nested Learning (NL), a paradigm that views an ML model as a system of nested optimization problems. This approach unifies architecture and optimization,

Massively grateful to everyone at the The Fields Institute and my dear friend John Griffiths in particular for the opportunity to participate in the Workshop on Multiscale Methods and Emergent Phenomena in Neuroscience this past week. Excellent video recordings of all talks are

For teachers who want to teach neuroscience!

Teach the wiring of the future!

The end of 2025 marked the conclusion of my 8-year tenure as Principal Investigator at Backyard Brains. It has been an immense privilege to lead this mission. We set out to make it possible for students to learn neuroscience by building spiking neural networks for robots, and I’m
