You may say I’m a dreamer - but I’m not the only one. What's happening in your brain when you're being imaginative? And can it affect your mental health? I talk to my friend @phdcomics.com to imagine the possibilities. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Generative AI is getting so good at warping reality that even “cute animal” videos can be a gateway to something more insidious. I explain why this may work on normal brains, and suggest several firewalls to interrupt the hack. #AI #Neuroskyence open.substack.com/pub/dwaynego...

I really like how some nonfiction books are starting to include comics in them. I am reading Out of Your Mind by @dwaynegodwin.bsky.social and @phdcomics.com and there are comics throughout each chapter and some comic interludes. #Booksky 🧪🧠

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

"“It’s horrible. It’s a crap show. It really, really is,” said an NCI laboratory chief who has worked at the institute for three decades. He’s lost six of the 30 people in his lab this year... “If we survive I will be somewhat surprised,” he said. 🧪

A change of pace post. How does the brain bind red to bicycle and blue to car when looking at a complex scene if color is extracted in one cortical area and form in another? And object recognition in yet another. Looking at Scholte and de Haan's recent review and going a bit further #neuroskyence

Neuroscience research and training has taken a $323 million hit in the form of grants rescinded by the U.S. NIH, according to an analysis by @thetransmitter.bsky.social. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/funding/nih-...

Last February, I led a proposal submission that encompassed six months, hundreds of hours, four institutions, a massive team, and and 256 pages. NSF just informed us that the entire Biology Integration Institute program was archived and our proposal would not even be reviewed. With a form email.

NIH has an open RFI on their AI strategy. With everything going on, it would be easy to miss. I urge you to take a look it and to offer your own comments. If you are unsure about AI, please take a look at my Substack post, linked below. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide... #NIH #Neuroskyence #Science

The NIH is considering a big push in AI. But are we ready? I outline the limitations of current AI in a way you can explain to your mom - and propose a rational path forward. #neuroskyence #neuroscience #NIH #policy #artificialintelligence substack.com/home/post/p-...

The National Institutes of Health’s BRAIN initiative have developed advanced gene delivery tools akin to molecular “trucks” that can precisely target and activate genes in specific brain and spinal cord cells. This breakthrough could target therapies ALS, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s. #Neuroskyence
