This is your brain on Ritalin. Got your attention? Stimulant medications like Ritalin (methylphenidate) do, but not in the way you might think. They don't act directly on the brain’s attention systems! Find out what's really happening in @cellpress.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 Interesting review on spontaneous activity and predictions. Idea of "predictions" is natural enough (how could it be otherwise?) but the emphasis on constructing models of the world is not persuasive. And the Bayesian motivation is way too vague imo. doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

Our latest superb starling work in @nature.com. We observe long-term reciprocal helping relationships, and suggest reciprocity is an underappreciated mechanism promoting the stability of cooperatively breeding societies.

Thanks so much to you Markus for organizing it!! :)

New paper in @pnasnexus.org: we study how collective decisions emerge via sensorimotor coordination between multiple neuroinspired artificial agents. Successful consensus requires balanced internal neural dynamics, environmental coupling & social interactions. #SocialNeuroAI #Alignment #MultiAgents
