really cool! congratulations to the authors for this important discovery

These models can partly generalize across species, brain regions and tasks, suggesting that a set of machine-learnable rules govern neural population activity, writes @juangallego.bsky.social. But will we be able to understand them? #neuroskyence

This paper is absolutely wild and amazing.

This is a great article from @juangallego.bsky.social. I still feel less excited about "neural foundation models" than Juan, but I have to say he makes his case very convincingly, both for the advantages and disadvantages. Well worth a read!
Birds use a variety of navigational strategies, including the geomagnetic field, especially when other cues are not available, such as under overcast or nocturnal conditions. Magnetite particles in th...

"The structure of scientific workflows can be treated like a clock. But science as a system of discovery is a cloud. Optimizing each component does not guarantee the integrity of the whole. Optimization may, in fact, undermine it." (2/2)
interesting thread on the biological implementation of ring attractor manifolds
A friend just reminded me about our sensorimotor starter pack, so here it is: go.bsky.app/U4oyFgw
If you're into sensorimotor control of movement and it's application this should be a good place to start. Also DM to be added, there are a bunch of spots for people to be added
Great essay indeed!
Another quote:
"Karl Popper contrasted clocks, systems that can be decomposed and optimized piece by piece, with clouds, systems whose behavior emerges from complex interactions."
