AI slop is everywhere. But what is it doing to our ability to know what is real online? And how can we protect ourselves from its influence? I talk with my friend @phdcomics.com (Or is it AI? You decide!). #neuroskyence 🧠 #neuroscience #AI www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

Generative AI is getting so good at warping reality that even “cute animal” videos can be a gateway to something more insidious. I explain why this may work on normal brains, and suggest several firewalls to interrupt the hack. #AI #Neuroskyence open.substack.com/pub/dwaynego...
A page in a book with a section discussing brain research in the 1800's. The page has a small comic showing a person sitting in a chair with a surgeon on their left, holding a saw, and a person on the right holding clips connected to something electrical. The caption says "Gulp, not a good time to be a brain research volunteer.
I really like how some nonfiction books are starting to include comics in them. I am reading Out of Your Mind by @dwaynegodwin.bsky.social and @phdcomics.com and there are comics throughout each chapter and some comic interludes.

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵
Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

We dive into a way of thinking about happiness that might just work for you by knitting together ancient wisdom with modern psychology 🧠. This is a special chapter that can help someone who may be struggling to find a way to process their emotions.

We tell the story of the emotional brain:
❤️ Why do we love?
🔥 Why do we hate?
…and how in- and out groups, and learning steer both. And how sometimes, hate can be rewarding, like a drug.
Art by Jorge Cham @phdcomics.com
We start with: Where is “you” in the brain?
Not your body; your mind, your self, your experience. We make that question feel concrete, by telling the story of how we came to know what we know.
Comic art by Jorge Cham
The book is organized around the questions we all ask: Where is the mind? Why do we love? Why do we hate? Do we have free will? What is consciousness?
