Ich habe noch nie einen US-Präsidenten gesehen, der den Staatspräsidenten eines anderen Landes so respektlos behandelt. Donald Trump ist seines Amtes unwürdig – und unsere Welt in großer Gefahr. Wir erleben eine Zeitenwende in dunkle Zeiten.

Thanks @nikolaskaralis.bsky.social for organizing this conference - bringing so many inspiring people together! I hope I can make it.

Fantastic! Cant wait to read it!

Intruiging indeed. Thanks @gershbrain.bsky.social for putting these findings in perspective.

Warmly recommended. 👍

Seit dem menschenverachteten Angriff der Hamas am 7.10. und der rücksichtslos martialischen Antwort Israels, kommt endlich Bewegung in die deutsche Gesellschaft: 1) Kritik an 🇮🇱 ist nicht automatisch Antisemitismus, 2) 🇩🇪 darf nicht schweigen. Thank you Masha Gessen.

Is there some recent comparison of OpenAI's GPT-4 and Google's current Bard? Due to recent slowdown of GPT-4, I tried Bard today again and I am surprised about the massive improvement in quality and speed.

Interesting initiative!

Inferring causal connectivity from pairwise recordings and optogenetics Author summary Understanding the interactions between neurons is essential for grasping brain function. Neuroscientists often face a challenge when stimulating multiple neurons simultaneously: determi...

Happy to see our work on estimating causal connectivity from pairwise recordings and widefield opto-stimulation finally published in PLOS Computational Biology. Work lead by Mikkel Lepperød, co-authored by Torkel Hafting, Marianne Fyhn and @kordinglab.bsky.social.

This work substantiates our proposal that such a mechanism could be implemented in the CA3-CA2 network. Thanks to the co-authors Andrew B. Lehr, Marianne Fyhn, and Arvind Kumar.

We have been claiming that weak assembly sequences can cooperate to facilitate reactivation by suppressing strong competitors. Using a non-linear rate model, we demonstrate the feasibility of our claim and characterize corresponding network dynamics. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

“When I see people watching the horrible tragedy that is happening here as if it were a Super Bowl of victimhood, in which you support one team and really don’t care about the other, empathy becomes very, very selective. You see only some pain. You don’t want to see other pain.”

I am looking for a recent review on how neuromodulation or behavioral state can influence the shape of the STDP kernel. Any suggestions?
