Good resp to Bhattacharya, noting the agenda of The Spectator.
When we rebut Trump attacks on science it’s good to talk about his agenda and the agenda backing him—he was selected for the job by donors who want to privatize federal funding and use science as a wedge issue to get votes for thr side.

Tolerance has gone too far. Researchers should date other people, in my opinion
Here is a brief overview of existing approaches to studying "real-world" navigation.
Really happy to have worked on this with @hugospiers.bsky.social & @antoinecoutrot.bsky.social!

damn this is so very clever!
"... we investigated how the brain categorizes stimuli that are not linearly separable in the physical world ... The sensory manifold was ... expanded into a seven-dimensional perceptual manifold..."
🤩 + impressive answer 🧭🚕 @ 2:50 “Trust me, knowledge is power” 💀 This is my guy.
let's talk in person!
but fwiw I personally think that we talk about dimensionality! to me the important ideas within the neural manifold framework are: (1) manifolds reflect biological constraints, (2) capture population-wide functions/computations, (3) manifolds (may) have ontological power
