NIBAI 2025 Workshop on the Nature of Intelligence was held in Sheffield, bringing together over 70 participants from diverse backgrounds in neuroscience, animal cognition, philosophy, and AI. Thanks to @asab.org the @sheffielduni.bsky.social, and @devjoni.bsky.social for sponsoring this event.

Excited to welcome everyone to the ASAB Interdisciplinary Workshop: Nature of Intelligence The two-day agenda is packed with inspiring talks, discussions, and a panel exploring the frontiers of natural and artificial intelligence. @asab.org @drn-sheffield.bsky.social #AI #cognition #neuroscience

How do flies keep crystal-clear vision while zipping through the air? 🪰 This study reveals synaptic high-frequency jumping, a mechanism where photoreceptor synapses recode vision into high-frequency signals, enabling synchronised, coherent perception even at lightning speed. #vision #neuroscience

How is the nervous system organized to coordinate behavior? To approach this massive question, a team led by @asbates.bsky.social, @jasper-tms.bsky.social, @mindyisminsu.bsky.social, & Helen Yang present the BANC: a Brain and Nerve Cord connectome. Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🧪#Neuroskyence

Fascinating findings! It seems cognitive processes can unfold much faster than we typically expect. Importantly, the commonly assumed speed-accuracy tradeoff may not hold in rapid decision-making contexts; consistent with findings we've seen in bees: lnkd.in/e_cdCdcH doi.org/10.7554/eLif....
