How do multiple bodies become a social event💃🏻🕺? Using EEG, we tagged (what we believe is) the first integrative stage in this transformative processing of brain information towards representation of social interaction osf.io/q9e8a/ Nicolas Goupil Jean-Remy Hochmann Institut des Sciences Cognitives - Marc Jeannerod

Does drinking coffee every morning protect your brain? According to Dr. Peter Attia, the morning beverage protects against a wide range of pathologies, including cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease.

Is cognition all in the head (neurons)? Here we suggest that cognition is a complex multiscale information processing distributed across every single cell in the body 😎 We focus on the immune / neuro tandem ⁦Michael Levin⁩ E. Shmeleva frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

"The danger of AI is not that it's going to rebel against us, it's that it's going to do exactly what we ask it to do" But what happens when AI does exactly what we ask, yet not what we intend? Working with AI isn't like working with a human, more like working with a weird

Thank you to Russ Poldrack for a fantastic talk on effectively running a lab 👏👏 One gem I took away: "Failure must be an option" The recording: dropbox.com/s/ads02aipu7id… The slides: github.com/poldrack/talks… Wishing success to all of us engaged in this undertaking!

How far can we get by ignoring heterogeneous, long-range brain connectivity and instead imagining brain dynamics evolving like waves across a surface of water? Quite far it turns out…! Glad to have a played a small part in a great team 😊 nature.com/articles/s4158…

One hundred years of wave equations of physical systems from Schrödinger's model of the atom to neural field theory of the brain Both formulations predict that the system's expressed energy is constrained into natural modes - "eigenstates - determined by the system's geometry

That's when AI is just blindly learning probable actions & words from us. Regression to the mean and biases are what we can expect

Students don't need a perfect teacher. They need a happy teacher, who's gonna make them excited to come to school and grow a love for learning.

Looking forward to give a keynote on music neuroaesthetics in this amazing place: Aula Magna of University of Bergamo, former Sant'Agostino monastery
