Wait, so all our neurons are little control freak agents? Mitya Dmitri "Mitya": Well, most of them... some of them have to kinda be tricked into thinking they are, like the ones in our eyeballs... A heap of poetic license, but the gist is right. braininspired.co/podcast/205/

Ciara Ciara Greene puts me at ease about my poor memory. We discuss all the glorious ways our memories are encoded, altered, affected by emotion, and expressed, all to help us function in the world. Check out her book Memory Lane, w Gillian Murphy braininspired.co/podcast/206/

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…

Ah, so that's what a schema is! And that's why my teenage years were so... well, I'll let Alison Preston Lab tell you. braininspired.co/podcast/207/

NeuroAgents? A new Turing Test for NeuroAI? Need I say more? Perhaps... happy belated birthday NeuroAran Aran Nayebi! braininspired.co/podcast/209/

Pretty packed and lots of fun with Dean Buono... AI and neuro diverging. Physicists and neuroscientists try to reconcile time. IIT requires a new physics. Predictive coding & replay in organotypic brain slices. A guest Q from david robbe. Phew! braininspired.co/podcast/210/

Wanna test your consciousness theory, in a massive adversarial collaboration (ARC-COGITATE)? Call Oscar Ferrante, Rony, & Alex Lepauvre (don't call, but you'd be in good hands!) Integrated information theory vs. global neuronal workspace theory braininspired.co/podcast/211/

Join Paul Middlebrooks today as we revisit another foundational work in cognitive and complexity science, and reflect on how biology confronts the deep problem of intelligence. These diagrams are the first logic gates. They inspired von Neumann and subsequent engineers in the design of

Up the Complexity Discussion group at Brain Inspired, hosted by Paul Middlebrooks, the next paper up is this 1943 classic that I reviewed last year! Looking forward to our upcoming discussion as we proceed through Santa Fe Institute / David Krakauer's complexity papers jesparent.substack.com/p/on-behavior-…

Neuronal avalanches! (they aren't what they sound like) John Beggs on the critical brain hypothesis: its history and current status, the how and why, its detractors, and more. braininspired.co/podcast/212/

I'm not sure what a representation is anymore... or maybe I never knew. These fine folks have some thoughts...

Wonderful to chat with Paul Middlebrooks on Brain Inspired, where we discuss many things. Among them: What are we brain researchers trying to do here (wrt causality)? I also stick my neck out to predict the next big breakthrough in emotion research. Thanks for having me!

Neuroscience is hard, turns out. Embrace the complexity and model it all, says Nicole C Rust, PhD. Fun discussion about a Grand Plan to make real progress treating brain disorders. braininspired.co/podcast/214/

Bifurcation is the missing half of dynamical systems theory for neuroscience. I's time to go beyond Marr's levels, to a cross-level mechanistic understanding. AI needs a PFC. Xiao-Jing Wang on that and his new theoretical neuroscience textbook. braininspired.co/podcast/215/

Been really enjoying the Complexity Science Discussion Group hosted by Paul Middlebrooks (Paul Middlebrooks), where we're working our way through the Santa Fe Institute's "Classic Papers in Complexity Science". The group is open for anyone interested: braininspired.co/complexity-gro…

Jennifer, coming from the AI world, believes AI folks need to look to living organisms for better inspiration. A black swan, Dr. Jennifer Prendki is. Plus, she drops a Don Quixote reference that the dense host doesn't get, until he remembers it way too late... braininspired.co/podcast/217/

Chris Christopher Rozell is excited for a new era, using AI, brain recordings, and brain stimulation to help clinicians and psychiatrists improve our mental lives. Also, I'm jealous I can't explain what I do as well as he explains what he and his team does. braininspired.co/podcast/218/

100% - it's a fantastic group of folks diving deep into "complex" waters. I join whenever I can! ty Paul Middlebrooks for hosting
