I know, I know - I just have trouble expressing my ideas in words

I would post, there's just not enough GIFs

Many researchers in cognitive neuroscience and deep learning seem to assume that inference in the brain is hierarchical.  Our new Nature Reviews Neuroscience paper questions this assumption and proposes the shallow brain hypothesis. #neuroskyence#brainwww.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Entangled Brain: Unraveling the Mysteries of Neuroscience | Luiz Pessoa | #21

Welcome to "BeyondPhrenology," the podcast that delves deep into the intricate world of neuroscience and the brilliant minds shaping its future. In this epis...

New preprint: "Tracking the distance to criticality in systems with unknown noise" By Brendan Harris, w/ Leonardo Gollo. We identify new, noise-robust time-series features for tracking the distance to criticality Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2310.14791github.com/brendanjohnh...#ComplexSystems

They were right that it would take some time, but I think we have shown them.

We just haven't figured out what our order parameters are yet ;)

Is machine consciousness just around the corner? In our new paper, we approach this question from the neuroscientific perspective and explain why this is unlikely to be the case out in Trends in Neuroscience w @macshine.bsky.social#neuroskyence#consciousnessauthors.elsevier.com/a/1hxp2botq0...

Happy to see our new work out in NatureAging, suggesting that dopaminergic and noradrenergic nuclei relate to different memory types in older adults. Great collaboration with @maramather.bsky.social@markuswb.bsky.social@lipmpib.bsky.socialwww.nature.com/articles/s43...

The integrity of dopaminergic and noradrenergic brain regions is associated with different aspects o...

Using multimodal MRI to delineate noradrenergic and dopaminergic nuclei in aging, Dahl et al. found differential associations with episodic and working memory, helping to disentangle the role of the n...

Interesting to see Nobel news stories running alongside Gino/Ariely fraud stories. Karikó and Weissman did work that was unorthodox but correct, and the system made their lives extremely difficult for it along the way; Gino and Ariely perpetrated fraud but were celebrated for it for years.
