Just to put this in perspective, the cost of running Open Mind for a year is roughly the total APCs collected by Nature Communications in a single day. Journals can be run inexpensively, without gouging authors (and by extension taxpayers).

📢 #Rastermap paper out now, easily explore and visualize your neural recordings 🐭🐒🐟 and ANNs 🤖 nature.com/articles/s4159…. Updates from preprint include analyses of primate data and IBL task data. Video tutorial: youtu.be/oQHq7yUWn2k #Neuroscience #MachineLearning

Our brain uses unique sequences of neurons firing over time within a population activity burst to correctly categorize visual cues. Learn more about it from a paper out today in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… #NeuralCoding #HumanCognition

someone i've been corresponding with, i.e. an email address to which i've sent personal emails recently, didn't get past my gmail spam filter. Google, what good is winning Nobel prizes in AI if your products are not quite nearly as intelligent?

So happy to see our paper finally out in Current Biology ! 🥳 Link: cell.com/current-biolog…

Thank you Marlene Berke for presenting your work today on bridging the gap between mental representations and the real world 🧠__ 🗑️__🌏. Marlene shows how building meta-cognitive capacities into artificial systems can result in better models of perception and social inference.

they say there is a new big wave of exodus from here to bsky again. is it true??

1.2M people have joined bsky in the past few days, bringing it up to 12M+ total users now

📣🧠📣 I’m hiring !! 📣🧠📣 We’re looking for a postdoc to join The Uncertainty Lab Birkbeck School of Psychological Sciences. You’ll lead fMRI work on a new project funded by The Leverhulme Trust - studying how communication with others alters private metacognition of our own minds. cis7.bbk.ac.uk/vacancy/postdo…

in other words, we're looking for someone either good at working w/ animals, or technically good w/ fMRI troubleshooting (but maybe sick of the intrinsically limited SNR of human imaging ;-), or both, to join us.

I'm pleased to share our lab’s collective effort: ‘Pain Neuroimager Manifesto: Towards Person-Centered Neuroscience of Pain.’ This manifesto reflects our commitment to a person-centered, pluralistic, and nuanced approach to pain neuroimaging research. cocoanlab.github.io/manifesto/

anyone interested in working on analysis of *directed* graphs of whole brain networks (at the region-to-region level, i.e. high SNR fMRI data in mice)? e.g. making predictions using network control theory & testing them? we're hiring. ping me at [email protected]

read our paper on why the very idea of “AI welfare” is metaphysically and ethically hollow and it legally benefits powerful bodies that develop and deploy AI while further dehumanising people at the receiving end of algorithmic injustice firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/…

“if we don't consider AI systems as moral agents, powerful corporations who are building AI on the backbone of theft and exploitation and amassing massive benefits from it will not be happy” doesn’t sound like a good argument to me

The first paper from the lab! In collaboration with Hyung Jin Choi , we derived the need and motivation component from homeostatic RL, and showed that AgRP neurons and lateral hypothalamus LepR neurons encode need and motivation, respectively. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

this will be one of my last retweets.

pseudoscience can be defined as claims that are only true/popular on this site, but not anywhere else. this will be my last tweet. good bye.
