This beautifully written piece by Guillame Dumas for @psychologytoday.com makes a compelling case for social neuroAI: the idea that minds don't just interact, they co-create intelligence *between* them.
Differences between species should be treated as informative constraints that refine theory, not as inconsistencies to be explained away, writes @suthanalab.bsky.social.

✍️ In the @kempnerinstitute.bsky.social blog: our new tool built to compare the dynamics of complex systems when both internal circuitry and external inputs shape their behavior.
Catch @annhuang42.bsky.social presenting this work at #ICLR! kempnerinstitute.harvard.edu/research/dee...
📍 #Cosyne26 bound?
Thrilled to have PhD students @annhuang42.bsky.social and Sonja Johnson-Yu representing the Rajan Lab this year. Shout out to co-first authors @satpreetsingh.bsky.social and @neurostrow.bsky.social.
Catch their sessions to learn about our newest work 🧠🤖

Can we predict a thought before it happens?
To know what one neuron will do next, you have to know what the entire brain is doing right now.
In our latest @kempnerinstitute.bsky.social Deeper Learning blog, @duranrin.bsky.social introduces POCO, a tool paving the way for adaptive neurotechnology.
NEW from the #KempnerInstitute: researchers introduce ForageWorld, a foraging task made to evaluate analysis techniques for learning, planning, and more.

It’s brutal in academia right now. A lot is out of our control, but it doesn’t cost anything to remember that there are humans behind papers and grants…reviewers, program officials and funders can be more empathetic in the face of unprecedented chaos in the US scientific enterprise.
