5 connectomics experts walked into a bar... the panel host ducked. Fun memory decoding discussion at @aspirationalneuro.bsky.social @michalwj.bsky.social @sdorkenw.bsky.social @helenelab.bsky.social @andrewcpayne.bsky.social Ranal Koene @kennethhayworth.bsky.social braininspired.co/podcast/227/

Are manifolds real? Are latent circuits real? Tatiana @engeltatiana.bsky.social uses one, infers the other, and says yes to both. Also, how timescales are different and the same across the entire brain... braininspired.co/podcast/226/

Henk's @henkderegt.bsky.social book Understanding Scientific Understanding (2017) helped elevate understanding in phil of sci, distinct from what it means to explain something. We discuss where his ideas have taken him since, like how to assess machine understanding. braininspired.co/podcast/225/

If you're at SfN, stop by my teeny tiny nano talk Sunday at 1: "Neural population dynamics during naturalistic versus task-related behavior" w/ @yttrilab.bsky.social @markolas.bsky.social @adeneagle.bsky.social NANO017.01

Dan made it easy... check out his book

What Is Life? A misleading title for Schrödinger's book. What is Life? Revisited. A spot-on title for Dan's @djnicholson.bsky.social book, which happens to be a gem. After reading it and discussing with Dan, I can only picture Schrödinger as a cartoon villain now. braininspired.co/podcast/224/

What is plant nutation? What is a motif in science? What lessons does ecological psychology have for neuroscience? How does Vicente @diovicen.bsky.social enjoy the band Judas Priest yet still do good philosophy and science? Here are the answers: braininspired.co/podcast/223/

Niko @niko-kukushkin.bsky.social takes us on an evolutionary tour from molecules to minds. Nature is rife with meaning at all scales, to be found in the essences of interacting atoms, cells, species, and societies. braininspired.co/podcast/222/

In this episode, @braininspired.bsky.social talks with @niko-kukushkin.bsky.social about his new book, ‘One Hand Clapping: Unraveling the Mystery of the Human Mind.’ #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/brain-inspir...

The road less traveled (with a big bag of tools from central station) has taken Ann @antihebbiann.bsky.social to fertile subcortical fields. braininspired.co/podcast/221/

What changes and what stays the same as you scale from single neurons up to local populations of neurons up to whole brains? Michael and Mac @macshine.bsky.social on the systems approach to study brains across scales. braininspired.co/podcast/220/
