Learning through curiosity: Scholars developed a novel training method called Curious Replay, which programs AI agents to “self-reflect” about things they recently encountered to help them successfully adapt to their changing surroundings. stanford.io/3PN9bEI

how should we interpret neuroscientific evidence across species? our (adversarial!) collaboration is out in eLife - the journal 🥳🪩✨we highlight a failure mode common in the neurosciences + demonstrate how deep learning tools can formalize cross-species comparisons elifesciences.org/articles/84357

*THRILLED* to share our latest work with Seb Tremblay & co in Michael Platt ’s lab! Primates maintain long-term bonds through grooming and social support. How? Here, we reveal neural signatures of natural social behavior in freely-moving macaques. rb.gy/ii0lr 🧵👇

How can agents understand the world from diverse language? 🌎 Excited to introduce Dynalang, an agent that learns to understand language by 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 with a multimodal world model!

Very excited about Ethan Richman’s study that provides deep insight into competition between homeostatic needs! The work has it all — a new behavioral assay, brain-wide Neuropixels + optogenetics, and a new framework for understanding brain state dynamics. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Isaac Kauvar and Chris Doyle will present “Neurobehavior of exploring AI agents” (nips.cc/virtual/2023/7…), and Chris Doyle will present “Intrinsically Motivated Social Play in Virtual Infants” (nips.cc/virtual/2023/7…), at @IMOLNeurIPS2023.

I am really excited to reveal what Google DeepMind's Open Endedness Team has been up to 🚀. We introduce Genie 🧞, a foundation world model trained exclusively from Internet videos that can generate an endless variety of action-controllable 2D worlds given image prompts.

Thank you for the insightful summary and perspective on our work Science Magazine Nadine Gogolla Stoyo Karamihalev "A wave of emotion" bit.ly/4jrb7Oe

Thank you NPR NPR Health News NPR Science Desk for a beautiful piece about our work studying the neural basis of emotion. Your creativity in applying the piano analogy was 🎯 npr.org/transcripts/nx…

Great thread highlighting our study's findings, by co-lead author Tony X. Liu

Thank you Stanford Medicine for the detailed reporting on our work. And great title too! How we used an opthalmologist's tool to study the neural mechanisms of emotion.... bit.ly/4kBenbn

Piano pedals of the brain? New paper in Science this week teaches us how how emotion echoes across species. A groundbreaking paper by Kauvar, Deisseroth and colleagues hit a powerful chord in the world of neuroscience. Spoiler alert: our emotional responses, whether in mice or
