Exactly that. Would help a great deal for thinking through possible uses.

Is there an estimate of the percentage of variance of stimulation effects we can predict based on observational data?

🚨Big news!🚨
The lab is relocating to Lisbon, joining a great team of experimental and theoretical neuroscientists, and the Neurotechnology Warehouse, a new initiative to bridge basic and translational research.

I'll be sharing postdoc openings soon. Come join us in this new incarnation of the lab!

New preprint 🌟 Psychology is core to cognitive science, and so it is vital we preserve it from harmful frames. @irisvanrooij.bsky.social & I use our psych and computer science expertise to analyse and craft:

Such a cool achievement!

Beyond Newtonian causation in neuroscience The traditional mechanistic framework must give way to a richer understanding of how brains actually generate behavior over time.

Thanks to @pessoabrain.bsky.social and @thetransmitter.bsky.social for featuring our paper and to @aliyarumana.bsky.social and Peter Tse for engaging so generously with the ideas! 😊 www.thetransmitter.org/the-big-pict...

I think it is very important to talk more about the deep problems of functional connectivity,

We need to teach opportunity cost more in our schools.

indeed. Very cool!

Pretty weak specialization tbf.

At a meeting in 2000, a prominent researcher accused John Duncan and me of "turning cortex into a bowl of porridge". Hey, if the data shows a bowl of porridge, that's what it is. Sorry if that is uncomfortable or inconvenient.

I'd still call this weak specialization.

yeah. I did not voice disagreement. Rather puzzlement about why strong specialization still has proponents.

Weak specialization sure. Not denying the existence of motor cortex. But computationally grand-mother cells are just pointless.

This point by @earlkmiller.bsky.social is very much obvious from a mainstream deep learning perspective. Why would neurons specialize?

Is This the End of the Growth Mindset Theory? Growth mindset interventions targeted at improving students’ academic achievements are common. A new study shows that they have little to no actual effect.

Otoh. With AI threatening the way the world runs, threatening the jobs of many Americans, isn't it justified for the public to be somewhat less science positive?

In our capitalist society, we worship competition

But in academia it can be harmful

Encouraging secrecy over collaboration, withholding of data, misappropriation of ideas, and even questionable research practices

Come join us at University of Toronto. We're hiring a Professor of computational cognitive neuroscience.

I can hear it speak my language! Hasta la vista, baby!

yeah. I have doubts he would be happy with a perfectly fine serving of soylent. Without company.

Coffee. Also cake.

Had a fabulous time at the gorgeous QUBS discussing science, mentorship, and community. Grateful to @kordinglab.bsky.social, @gunnarblohm.bsky.social ❤️ our facilitators, and everyone who made it so meaningful. Proud of the friendships we built. #wethepeople

Run don’t walk to the #Neuro4Pros summer school if it happens again and you’re an early career prof

Thanks again for the absolute best time ⭐️ @gunnarblohm.bsky.social @kordinglab.bsky.social @yaelniv.bsky.social @meganakpeters.bsky.social @patrickmineault.bsky.social, and Hannah Bayer

you guys.

i am REALLY bad at steering a canoe.

@neurograce.bsky.social is truly a saint for putting up with me 🙏 at least i didn't capsize us!

(team building exercises @ #neuro4pros! h/t to @gunnarblohm.bsky.social & @kordinglab.bsky.social for organizing such a stellar group, & it's only day 2!)

hello again from LAX!

it's 6am & i'm on my way to Neuro4Pros, hosted & organized by @gunnarblohm.bsky.social & @kordinglab.bsky.social!

compneurosci.com/Neuro4Pros/i...

looking forward to talking mentorship, scicomms, project management, & open science infrastructure w/ all you brilliant people!
