Neuroscience is all into naturalistic behavior now. What is a "naturalistic" behavior, anyway?
Also how do our experiences and the way we define things change our science? E.g. what counts as "sleep" is different than 100 yrs ago...
Nedah Nemati brings the philosophy

Alex seeks the mathematical structure of consciousness, not metaphorical accounts.
I suggested a catchphrase for him: Put your math where your metaphor is.
He's already putting his money where his mouth is.
Currency: math, philosophy, rigor, and vigor (and neuro!).

Are the laws of thought woven from three golden threads?
Tom @cocoscilab.bsky.social and I discuss some of the history and themes in logic, probability, and neural nets, in his new book The Laws of Thought.

Wild and free in Estonia, Jaan @jaanaru.bsky.social connects the details with the big picture... like dendrites, thalamocortical loops, consciousness, and insight.
AI has none of the above (including being wild and free).

You're always thinking, unconsciously interrogating the world.
When an affordance is available to report answers to your brain's questions - to yourself or others - you become conscious of those thoughts.
Rough summary of @michaelshadlen.bsky.social on consciousness...

Ehud @ehudahissar.bsky.social didn't set out to offer a new kind of dualism, but, studying active perception, plus some thinking while driving, and here we are...
Opposing hierarchical (strange) brain loops, interfacing analog & digital signals within & between us.

All we are is manifolds in the wind...
That's not quite what Juan @juangallego.bsky.social says, but I do wish he sang it to me.
We discuss all things neural manifolds, and a little motor control and BCI for spinal injury prosthetics

Do neuroscientists know what "affordance" actually means?
(it seems perhaps not)
Luis, Vicente, and Matthieu @dewitmm.bsky.social on neuroscience trying to adopt ecological psychology for an "ecological neuroscience"

In theory, the brain is a prediction computation representation information machine.
In reality, the brain is an anticipatory collective of dynamic living cells.
Do our metaphors matter for understanding brains?
Romain @romainbrette.bsky.social says yes...

Different neuron types make different ripples through different manifolds.
That sounds cool, and Jorge Luis Borges probably already said it...
Liset's @lmprida.bsky.social work actually is cool, and I'll let her actually say it (sort of)...
