I hope one day more people will understand that AI’s early breakthroughs were deeply connected to neuroscience. It was a pleasure to discuss the history of AI and more on @closertotruth.bsky.social with Robert Lawrence Kuhn.

As the mother of Cognitive Experience Design, I see repetition not as redundancy but as rhythm. It’s how our brains learn, trust, and find joy. This book beautifully unpacks why patterns matter—for bees, for humans, for design.
