I had a great time presenting my work on comparing biological and artificial cognitive systems at the PAIR (Philosophy and AI Research) at FAU Erlangen Nürnberg today! Based on the joint BBS target article with @davidcolaco.bsky.social, I ask (1/2)
For @gershbrain.bsky.social, if you don't have it already:

Next week, I will speak on some of this history at IPM5. It is weirder than you likely could imagine.
I have put in my proofs for my chapter in "Scientific Mistakes and Mistaken Science: Malfunction, Error, Failure," which is due out later this year. My contribution is titled: "Detecting phenomena in datasets: Is the rest noise?"
In the 1960s, worm-training experiments and their strange implications captivated the nation. Columnist Claire L. Evans follows the neuroscientists who attempted to recapture the magic.
This book shows that the understanding of science is somewhat biased, and error, failure and mistake play a more substantial role than usually conceived
