I've been writing a textbook on computational cognitive neuroscience, which has prompted me to assess the evidence supporting various theoretical ideas. It's striking to me how some ideas have an extraordinary shelf life despite weak evidence.

Love this design 🧬🧬

We had fun talking to the folks at Fiction Science podcast last week. Thank you Alan for this write up! cosmiclog.com/2025/05/19/h... w/@alexhanna.bsky.social

@drjasberry.bsky.social Great work team!

A message from Industry to educators in Academia: "Don't bother teaching today's AI tools because it will be obsolete next year." - CEO of Indeed.com

Having a great time connecting with creators at the HBCU AI Conference and Training Summit. We’re sharing an abundance of info on new tech tools to transform education and AI product dev. #HBCUAICON #AI

What are the #Tiktokrefugees doing to replace the void this morning? I’m back to listening to my favorite science podcasts.

TikTok shutting down in the middle of my live stream really felt like we were Thanos-snapped into oblivion, one user at a time.

TikTok is really gone. My heart…

From article: "The new strategy “does not insist on making the perfect atom mirror,” Kovachy says. “Instead, it looks for a way to improve the collective net effort of many different atom mirrors, compensating for the imperfections of each individual atom mirror.”"

Third suicide associated with generative AI, and maybe first clear case of using generative AI to plan a crime.

What is or isn't a "BCI"? We argue in Nature BME today that if the tech stimulates or records brain activity AND does computation, it's a BCI. www.nature.com/articles/s41... But we still need a way to discuss different types of BCI separately... 🧵 #BCI #BrainComputerInterface

So far, the college football playoffs have been underwhelming #sportssky #sport

We now have a starter pack for ROBOTICS. This should be a fun group. Are you building robots or sharing thoughts/research on the state of robotics? 🤖🦿 Request to join if you would like to be added, before it fills up. go.bsky.app/61LAgEj

@markhisted.org lays down some knowledge. What are recurrent networks doing in the brain? www.thetransmitter.org/neural-netwo... #neuroscience

Has anyone else noticed Jameis Winston is never highlighted in the Heisman ceremonies or commercials ? #nolenation

This book explores the argument (through NDEs and OBEs) that the brain itself doesn’t produce consciousness. Instead, the brain acts as a reducing valve to shift our nonphysical consciousness into a limited capacity that is useful to help the material human body survive #MorningReads #BookSky

As of yet, there is no unified “theory of everything” that can combine the laws of quantum mechanics with those of relativity theory in a way that begins to incorporate consciousness. -E. Alexander, MD #NeuroSky #Neuroscience #Brains

“If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.” —Rene Descartes

Hackers are some of the most interesting people to have conversations with. You just have to catch them when they’re not glued to their computer.

What’s your biggest grievance with OpenAI?

The Apple research paper that says AI (LLMs) can’t reason

I honestly believe all LLM results should come with a disclaimer reminding people that the thing doesn’t (and absolutely cannot) know any facts or do any reasoning; it is simply designed to *sound* like it knows facts and frequently sweeps some up accidentally in the process.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

OK If we are moving to Bluesky I am rescuing my favourite ever twitter thread (Jan 2019). The renamed: Bluesky-sized history of neuroscience (biased by my interests)

Happy #Caturday Open for ears

My mailbox is literally flooded with discussions of whether “Deep learning is hitting a wall”, almost none of which cite my much-ridiculed-at-the-time 2022 paper called “Deep learning is hitting a wall”. nautil.us/deep-learnin...

Continuing struggles in GenAI and logic and relations. Nothing that I worried about 20 years ago in The Algebraic Mind has been genuinely solved.

Excited about this new paper in Elife where we show for the first time resting state patterns contain information about a participants states (e.g. their thoughts) as well as traits (e.g. personality). Led by the awesome @hardigirl.bsky.social postdoc in THINC Lab elifesciences.org/articles/93689

Glasses that auto-doxes any face it looks at. Impressive tech, but why is this needed? “Within a minute and a half, their scan of someone can return personal information about a person right to their phone.“

I think it was missing to I created a Consciousness Science Starter Pack: go.bsky.app/T8z9NP4 I can still add ~90 people so if you want to jump in, let me know! And if you don't want to be there, let me know as well of course. The boundaries of consciousness research can be hard to determine!

What are some equations or modeling approaches that are from different communities and are applied to different phenomena but you find them similar, the same, or very similar? Example: a paper showed how replicator dynamics in evolutionary models are somewhat isomorphic with Bayes equations.

Robots have feelings too
