Recent news on automating developmental neuroscience studies, facilitating LLM "brainstorming" sessions, and studying how language is implemented in biological and artificial systems. @evfedorenko.bsky.social @gretatuckute.bsky.social @halieolson.bsky.social sqi.mit.edu/news/recent-...

The American Academy of Arts and Sciences recently hosted a panel discussion on AI & human memory — SQI director Jim DiCarlo gave his perspective as a neuroscientist deeply involved in research at the interface of AI and human intelligence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCQF...

SQI research is supported by Platforms, innovative systems and software to enable experimentation, benchmarking, and testing. At the SCC workshop on Human Intelligence & AI, Erik Vogan gave an overview of the platforms, including @brain-score.bsky.social and the IO. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqJ_...

the scientists and programmers from @brain-score.bsky.social have made big upgrades to the leaderboard — this blog entry explains www.brain-score.org/blog/leaderb...

On Point's series on Brainwaves, Prof. Nancy Kanwisher discusses her research on the functional organization of the brain — understanding this architecture will lead to advances in neuroscience as well as AI. @npr @nancykanwisher.bsky.social www.wbur.org/onpoint/2026...

Can’t wait!

@joshtenenbaum.bsky.social and others from MIT give their perspectives on how robots are becoming part of everyday life -- but further research into intelligence and learning is needed to make them useful.

A new name and a continued commitment — looking forward to this next chapter! news.mit.edu/2026/continu...
