me at the end of class: here's a little speculative exercises; imagine you wake up from cryosleep in 2085. what's the kind of tech-society r/ship you'd like to see around you? students: no AI I honestly think students' views are missing from the 'should AI be integrated in classrooms' discussion

It’s hard not to feel insulted by the Canadian federal budget’s implication that researchers currently working in Canada aren’t good enough, so they’ll spend a bunch of taxpayer money to bring in “top talent” from elsewhere.

Are you at @sfn.org this month? We are too... come meet us and other Arab neuroscientists at 7 PM on Monday the 17th at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

📣 Travel Grants for #COSYNE25 📍 Computational & Systems Neuroscience #COSYNE will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, 12-15 March 2026. Undergrads & those from traditionally under-represented and under-served groups are encouraged to apply. Deadline is 12 November.

Between October 13-17th we ran the second edition of Ibn Sina Neurotech School hosted and sponsored by NYUAD Center for Brain and Health and @ibroorg.bsky.social We welcomed 18 students from across the world to learn hands-on about fMRI data collection and processing

Wondering what AiN has been up to recently? A lot! September 1-19, we conducted our Introduction to Computational Neuroscience Summer School for the 4th year in a row #ArabCompNeuro25 where we welcomes over 130 students and teaching assistants to learn more on basic of comp-neuro

🐦🔎 The findidfsoldiers.net database lists five doctors who, as per publicly available information, currently teach Medicine in Canadian universities. One went to serve after Oct. 7, 2023: substack.com/home/post/p-...

In this paper we use a new approach from control theory (engineering), a "disturbance observer", to see if it can be applied to visuomotor adaptation. This "DO model" is doing reasonably well.

OMG! i love it 😍

Help us fund more student travel to Abu Dhabi to attend #ISNeurotech25

www.npr.org/2025/07/06/g... From Anas Baba, NPR's producer in the Gaza Strip: "NEAR THE NETZARIM CORRIDOR, Gaza Strip —  What does it take to get food today in Gaza? It involves a perilous journey that I took myself.. I faced Israeli military fire, private U.S. contractors pointing laser beams

Thrilled to see our TinyRNN paper in @nature! We show how tiny RNNs predict choices of individual subjects accurately while staying fully interpretable. This approach can transform how we model cognitive processes in both healthy and disordered decisions. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

"War is peace... Freedom is slavery... Ignorance is strength"

Just so u know, these 'military ppl' & 'nuclear scientists' don't live in a cave, tucked away from the rest of the population. They live in residential areas, AMONG ordinary ppl. Media reports are quite disingenuous & outrageous... & to be clear, Israel has no right doing what it's doing. #NoToWar

Our paper is now accepted at Neural Networks! This work builds on our previous threads in X, updated with deeper analyses. We revisit brain-to-image reconstruction using NSD + diffusion models—and ask: do they really reconstruct what we perceive? Paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne... 🧵1/12

I was calling my mum today and she told me the whole city is paralyzed and she had water leakage at home herself. This kind of a storm in May is unprecedented for Alexandria... flashfloods and hail 😱 It highlights how Egypt is catastrophically unprepared for climate change

"She was also Gaza’s youngest influencer, offering practical survival tips for daily life under bombardment, such as advice on how to cook with improvised methods when there was no gas. 'I try to bring a bit of joy to the other children so that they can forget the war. '”

Depression, anxiety, and insomnia are conditions that are highly co-ocurring. So does that mean they have shared signatures that can be revealed through neuroimaging? What evidence exists from previous studies? An article by Peng et al. reviewed it: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Please read. We hoped that one of the many members of the Bluesky community from Gaza could be first to share this letter, but we were worried that their account would get taken down if they did. This letter is for @moderation.bsky.app, Bluesky leadership, and the wider community here. Thanks!

More of this please. Co-designing play spaces with children and young people near their homes led to “what researchers say is the highest increase in children’s physical activity ever recorded by an intervention of its kind”

So I finally got my Society for Biological Psychiatry travel award 🎉 I remember the feeling I had when I got award email for 2024, a mix of happiness and "ugh, not another US visa app" feeling. Funny enough, I applied and it is still processing 14 months later 😴 luckily the #SOBP2025 was in Toronto

Today, I will be presenting twice at #SOBP2025 - A talk on our work using ML to uncover the mystery of why women with BD are more at risk of cardivascular disorders - A poster later on why insomnia and depression happen together often (hint: 🧠🧠) see you there

Are you attending #SOBP2025 in Toronto? Let us know when and where your presentation is to give shoutout... Also lets meet up!

Excited to share our new pre-print on bioRxiv, in which we reveal that feedback-driven motor corrections are encoded in small, previously missed neural signals.
