Breaking my Twitter fast to ask for your help: a graduate student, in my department (Dartmouth Psychological and Brain Sciences), Kexin Cai, has gone missing: lebanonnh.gov/CivicAlerts.as… If you are in the Hanover area and have any info about her whereabouts, please contact Lebanon Police immediately. Please RT!

The Dartmouth Psychological and Brain Sciences community is devastated by the tragic loss of one of our graduate students, Kexin Cai. A vigil will take place at 5:00 pm today outside of Rollins Chapel to honor Kexin's memory and offer each other support at this difficult time. thedartmouth.com/article/2024/0…

I'm starting a discussion group to explore how foundational ideas in complexity science can help us think about - and better explain - minds and brains (natural and artificial). Details and option to sign up: braininspired.co/complexity-gro…

As our community shifts toward embracing the complexity of the brain, this new book by Xiao-Jing Wang will be an essential go-to. He is among a small, prescient group that embraced important ideas before the rest of us. Here he unpacks them. 1/2 taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.…
