Tik Tok on my book—thank you, Anne Churchland www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6Xk8sSR/

Xiao-Jing Wang outlines the future of theoretical neuroscience Wang discusses why he decided the time was right for a new theoretical neuroscience textbook and how bifurcation is a key missing concept in neuroscience explanations.

Til Tok on my book by Anne Churchland www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6Xk8sSR/

Nicole Rust’s Elusive Cures shows a rare combined gift of scholarship and unique prose expected from a professional writer. Your brain is better thought of as a complex dynamical system rather than computer, a shift of perspective for mental health care. Empathy pervades the book, A gem of a book.

Thank you! Model codes are available via GitHub

A landmark Computational Neuroscience book for our times, from basic principles to whole-cortex modelling of cognition, NeuroAI and Computational Psychiatry. This is one of Xiao-Jing's major achievements. Years of dedicated work from a master of the field.

Thank you, Sean and all the former lab members!

Incredibly important and groundbreaking

Theory and computational modeling of the emotional brain face the problem that, unlike perception for which inputs can be measured and varied experimentally in psychophysics, feelings are essentially internal body states (e.g., tranquil or agitated, pleasant or unpleasant), which are difficult to quantify and parametrically manipulate. Theorizing is futile without quantification of observed phenomena and testing predictions in controlled conditions.

I'm excited to debut my new research program (on the neurosci. of mood) at #Cosyne2025: Fr, poster 2-065 (it'll be yours truly at the poster).

There, I'll describe a new approach to the big challenge of emotion that XJ Wang describes in his new book, Theoretical Neuroscience.

As a preview .. /1

Thank you, Nicole!

Thank you, Tim!

Theoretical Neuroscience | Understanding Cognition | Xiao-Jing Wang | This textbook is an introduction to Systems and Theoretical/Computational Neuroscience, with a particular emphasis on cognition. It consists of three parts:

As our community increasingly shifts toward embracing the complexity of the brain, this new book by Xiao-Jing Wang will be an essential go-to.

He is among a small, prescient group that embraced important ideas before the rest of us. Here he unpacks them. 1/2

The unparalleled XJ Wang has written a book about the computations underlying cognition. I read a draft version and it is awesome. He is not on social media, so I am sharing it on his behalf :)
