🌳🌳🌳#Kokedama update: one of the pachiras is dying, I think the cold by the window. The aloe one strangly fine (despite the lievitating magnet 😊), and let me introduce you the ginsen one, really majestic.

🧠Our New preprint is out:
We propose a “neuro-bridge” framework linking #spiking neural networks with biophysical brain simulations for Alzheimer’s detection from #EEG.
📉 1/f slope as key biomarker (E/I balance)
🔁 ML predictions ↔ circuit mechanisms #NeuroAI

Here is a whole-#brain #MRI protocol that resolves the venous network at 0.35 millimeters in under 7 minutes. Actually this will be very useful for diseases like #Alzheimer where neurodegeneration, atrophy and veins are involved www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

#AI can predict 130 diseases from 1 night of sleep🛌
This foundation model (#SleepFM) trained on #sleep recordings using brain, heart, muscle & breathing signals combined, can predicts risks for #dementia, #heart failure, #kidney disease, and #stroke, etc years before

Happy New Yeah!

In "Graph Attention Networks for Detecting #Epilepsy from EEG Signals Using Accessible Hardware in Low-Resource Settings" @IEEEembs ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/112...

we trained a model on Colab and deploy it on Rasberrypi, using data afffordable #EEG

I always found the Ezra Klein Show a source of inspiration, I haven't finished the new book, but in this super-polarizing moment, I found it refreshing, pushing back against the politics of scarcity. more houses, more clean energy, more opportunity, instead of the usual austerity

New paper out:"Graph Attention Networks for Detecting #Epilepsy from #EEG Signals Using Accessible Hardware in LowResource Settings" with S. Mazurek & S. Moore

We propose portable EEG & GAT to easy diagnosis in rural areas

We have this paper finally online 🧠🧠🧠:

For #ReservoirComputing lovers,I found a challenging #attractor, the Thomas':
dx = np.sin(y) - b * x
dy = np.sin(z) - b * y
dz = np.sin(x) - b * z
x += dx * dt
y += dy * dt
z += dz * dt
3k neurons yet 67% correlation. Here is the code for you github.com/alecrimi/mag...

We have a new paper: "Graph Convolutional Networks for Classification and Explanation of Traumatic #Brain Injury"
with T.Curreri & S.Vitabile from @unipa_it, E.Rostami from @karolinskainst, J.FalcoRoget.
GNN were used to find common neurodegenerative after #TBI ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp....

Vicarious body maps bridge #vision and #touch in the human #brain

Reservoir computing is good for #neuroAI because
1. it avoids the biological implausibility of backpropagation
2. it naturally models temporal dynamics
3. Random recurrent reservoirs naturally sit near the edge of chaos (complexity is good)
I can continue...

surplus is no longer extracted via production, but by control over digital access

Given all research I have seen on disintegration of plaques, I was wondering why nobody thought about human applications:

🧠 how the brain understands speech: it encodes sounds → words → meaning in a hierarchical dynamic code (HDC). Higher-level features evolve slower, letting the brain track language over time without interference.
