1) A normative theory of prefrontal working memory slots.

Cosyne Viewing Parties
Visas, costs, care responsibilities, and environmental concerns all limit Cosyne attendance. Luckily, the talks are livestreamed; but watching alone is the high road to an aneurism. Hence: viewing parties! Gather regionally to watch Cosyne talks! More info: shorturl.at/3DHZX.
Triple paper drop from the inimitable @willydorrell.bsky.social :
1) A normative theory of prefrontal working memory slots.
2) A comprehensive review of normative theories of why grid cells look like grid cells.
3) A new theory of convex efficient coding.

An amazing lineup spanning Neuro, Cog Sci, and AI. Held in a Roman villa with an ancient aqueduct through it!
It’s a unique setting to understand the latest and greatest from the three disciplines of intelligence.
Come!
