The misleading manifold? The current debate (decoding vs causal relevance) and a toy example I gave in the thread below got me thinking about a related issue: how decoding may reflect structure more than function. 🧵 1/5

‪@benhayden.bsky.social‬ @tyrellturing.bsky.social‬ @jmgrohneuro.bsky.social‬ @pessoabrain.bsky.social I see a lot of talk on here about how we should avoid "x does y" talk because the brain is "a dynamic, reverberant, reciprocally interconnected system". But this does not follow. A thread...

📢 I am delighted to announce that from Oct. 1st I will join the Institute of Computer Science (@ics-cas.bsky.social), of The Czech Academy of Sciences (@czechacademy.bsky.social). I am very much looking forward to this new chapter in my career and life, and to work with my new colleagues.

Is anarchist science possible? As an experiment, we got together a large group of computational neuroscientists from around the world to work on a single project without top down direction. Read on to find out what happened. 🤖🧠🧪

Ever wondered why you keep going to that restaurant with stale fries? Is it because you went often in the past (perseveration) or because you remember past good experiences better (positivity bias)? Our study out in PNAS investigates the normative basis for these biases www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I think this debate is our Cajal vs Golgi moment but it shouldn’t be. Neural code is most probably both distributed and localized. My issue is why do we treat our decoding results as if they’re causally relevant so we end up inflating the evidence for distributed coding? Marcus has a nice example:
