TL;DR: a summary thread on this monster of a paper ...

The basic take-home message is this: there is no knowledge without a knower. No "view from nowhere." But this does not lead to relativism - anything goes - either, as our perspectives […]

Where Julia Outshines Python

This Blogpost covers some of the reasons my lab switched to #julialang

Many are left out, e.g. we simply call any python library/function we don't have in Julia, from Julia! (e.g..mne, scopy etc.). Native GPU made easy. Extending other libraries without editing them etc

This book by Wimsatt is exceptional if you're interested in understanding the world, knowledge, science, etc.
It can be challenging especially in some parts.
But now Johannes Jaeger has written a stand alone accessible paper. I highly recommend it!

Annual reminder that the book is open access.
How do we think of the brain as a deeply interconnected system with highly distributed, non hierarchical processing.

Just a few days left to sign up for the OMEGAS symposium in Dundee. Link in original post ⬇️ Poster submission closes very soon - 25 Nov, registration open until 2 Dec. Looking forward to hearing from our expert speakers! #neurokyence #opm #meg

A remarkable journey of resilience and transformation, from the chaotic corridors of group homes to the halls of Columbia and Stanford, EMERGENCE is a coming-of-age tale where heartbreak and humor meet the scientific wonder of modern artificial intelligence.

Thanks for the reminders.

Looking forward to getting back to reading Wimsatt, the chaos of life keeps getting in the way.

Massively shameful, decidedly uncool, pathetically pandering to OpenAI. Reconsider, @ox.ac.uk

I wrote a Comment on neurotheory, and now you can read it!

Some thoughts on where neurotheory has and has not taken root within the neuroscience community, how it has shaped those subfields, and where we theorists might look next for fresh adventures.

Top-down and bottom-up neuroscience: overcoming the clash of research cultures - Nature Reviews Neuroscience As scientists, we want solid answers, but we also want to answer questions that matter. Yet, the brain’s complexity forces trade-offs between these desiderata, bringing about two distinct research app...

Looking for ways to better understand different neuroscientific perspectives and enable productive collaborations

Do you study neural systems with feedback at different temporal-, spatial-, hierarchical-, data-, or computational- scales? Have you submitted your abstract to the "Neurocybernetics at Scale" symposium?
Due to multiple requests, new abstract submission deadline is 18 July! #AI4Science #cybernetics

We are super happy to announce the fourth edition of School of Ideas in Neuroscience! Come to Warsaw in September for in-depth talks, discussions and workshops that will help you to make sense of your data! The deadline for registration is July 21, 2025.

Hmmm. Why is this ecological, if it’s about how brains represent things?

I'm happy & sad.
Happy part: the word "ecological" becomes usual in neuroscience.
Sad part: "affordances", yes, but the aim is to find how they are encoded in the brain.

Some eco. psychs. in the project would've made it radical but perhaps more interesting? Something like: doi.org/10.1111/ejn....

Simons Collaboration on Ecological Neuroscience The mission of the Simons Collaboration on Ecological NEuroscience (SCENE) is to understand how affordances offered by the world shape representations in the mind and the brain.

Delighted to see our new collaboration on ecological neuroscience 🧩🌿🧠 announced today! A huge ❤️🙏🏼 to @simonsfoundation.org

I’m so excited by this theory-driven question. It’s core to our research on adaptive intelligence & sensorimotor systems 🙌 #SCENE

Title / image of the author: Johannes Jaeger Toward a Metamodern Science The Machine View is Blocking our Vision

Quote: "Metamodern science promises a way forward and out: an awe-inspiring and never-ending journey of discovery through experience that leads us into harmony with what is real and what is truly valuable to us. What are we waiting for? There are new windmills to be chased. Let’s be on our way!"
