"Fable is twice as expensive as Opus, and burns through tokens at a rate that suggests the answer to how much it costs in production is “a lot""
'tokens' is simply replacing 'humans' at this point
The Naturalistic Cognitive Computational Neuroscience Lab is launching at UT Austin and is looking for founding members at all levels, including lab manager, PhD students, and postdocs! #NeuroJobs
We will study human brain🧠 and memory & attention, using fMRI and modeling.

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Audrey Morrow, Jason Samaha, et al:
Individual alpha frequency predicts the sensitivity of time perception

Love this book cover- the brain looks like a fingerprint
Definitely a problem when academics claim using AI legitimately organises their expertise, while simultaneously pouring scorn on students who use AI to feign expertise they've yet to earn

1/ We work hard to factor "noise" out of behavior. But the brain doesn't.
Strip away noise and you may miss what the brain evolved to do
I wanted to share this pre-Bluesky paper where we found premotor (M2) corticostriatal circuits encode a broad history of behavior, beyond just action + reward 👇

Very happy that our manuscript with my brilliant collaborators @jamestrujillo.bsky.social and @straubeb.bsky.social is now published @jneurolang.bsky.social. 🥳🥳🥳 Interested in gesture, discourse, fMRI, prediction, computational modeling? This is the paper for you 👇 doi.org/10.1162/NOL....
New paper! Being more facially expressive has social network benefits, especially in women. May explain why highly expressive faces have evolved in humans!

Can we learn to voluntarily control our bodily states? 🫀@martager.bsky.social will present a pilot study using autogenic training to assess how people can successfully learn to directly decrease heart rate through the lens of ideomotor theory.

Mechanistic corticostriatal circuit model predicts learning-dependent fMRI dynamics and individual reward bias in humans

Prior experience is used by the brain to guide adaptive behaviour during decision making. Here, the authors show that mice also selectively use information learned through recent and longer-term exper...
Circuit-level computational models can do more than explain existing data; they can generate novel hypotheses and capture individual differences in human populations. We demonstrate this using a bioph...
I've had access to Claude 5 Fable for a bit. A genuine jump in capability, I could feed it a 15 page design document for a project and it would work for 9+ hours and deliver terrific results.
But working with it is weird & weirder is coming
Lots of examples: open.substack.com/pub/oneusefu...
Abstract. Understanding one another in daily communication depends on predicting language from prior discourse context and visual signals, such as co-speech gestures. However, it remains unclear how d...
When listening to a story, earlier parts of the story (context) and the speaker's gestures help us predict and understand what they are saying. In a new preprint we show context and gestures have a push-pull synergy on neural response to linguistic information 👇🧵
