We do not passively observe time, episodic time depends on the construction of events in memory. www.jneurosci.org/content/45/4...

The changes we experience may be the source of our subjective experience of time. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Time is relative and brains define simultaneity (TWS) and meaning (TWI) through temporal windows.

Our experience of time is powerfully shaped by boundaries between events (i.e., going from one meeting to the next). But what about time *within an event*? In new work, we find reliable distortions of time based on internal event structure (e.g., beginnings, middles, and ends)! tinyurl.com/n8mn2sn7

Really hoping bifurcations are the new manifolds. What a time to be alive 🥲

Bifurcations—an underexplored concept in neuroscience—can help explain how small differences in neural circuits give rise to entirely novel functions, writes Xiao-Jing Wang. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/neural-dynam...

Time seems to speed up as we get older - is that partly due to events/neural states lasting longer? #PsychSciSky #Neuroskyence www.livescience.com/health/neuro...

@dotproduct.bsky.social's first first author paper is finally out in @sfnjournals.bsky.social! Her findings show that content-specific predictions fluctuate with alpha frequencies, suggesting a more specific role for alpha oscillations than we may have thought. With @jhaarsma.bsky.social. 🧠🟦 🧠🤖

I get it. Similar thoughts inspired me to write a book. I began pessimistic, like this author, but I came out on the other side with renewed optimism. As a counterpoint to the blog below, this podcast could be titled, "Why Nicole Rust stayed" www.fchampalimaud.org/news/episode...

So tiring. I had a chance to talk face to face with ppl in power positions who by default thought my gender & critical thought imply I know nothing about AI. Within 10 min they realise they know nothing about AI. Why do women need to always do massive meta-labour to even get an ounce of respect

🚪🧠 Ever wondered if walking through doors really changes your memory? At #ESCOP25 today I’m at Board 19 showing how spatiotemporal boundaries impact recall in VR. Although time matters, it’s more to do with using it effectively!

How do the brain’s event representations change as we gain familiarity with an experience? Brain regions’ representations can become coarser or finer as event familiarity increases. Fine-tuning predicts memory recall. Excited to share this work with Narjes Al-Zahli & @chrisbaldassano.bsky.social!
