These past years have unveiled a litany of tragedies—on markets, ecosystems, societies, and epidemics. Each a stark testament to the inherent unpredictability and tangled interconnectedness of complex systems. We are blinds and ill-prepared at the edge of chaos and order.
Slashing NIH funding won’t end ‘waste’—it creates more underpowered (too small) studies that don’t work. If we want real breakthroughs, we need to invest in well-designed, well-powered research. Rigor + solid funding is how we move medicine forward.
As we start to use llm to help us write and code, I am definitely wondering what cognitive abilities we are losing on the way.

🧵on Japan's underrated contributions to neural nets. Shun-ichi Amari @UTokyo_News_en @riken_en is another one of my heroes. His 1972 paper on associative memory models modeled Hebbian plasticity using an outer product weight matrix.

My university will hire a couple of undergrads to help turn my neuroscience course neuro4ml.github.io into an interactive textbook along the lines of @neuromatch academy compneuro.neuromatch.io. I'd like to try a little more though.
What would it mean for cognition to *not* be an emergent property?

Just updated! We updated our massive database of funding opportunities for POSTDOC fellowships. Each entry (316!), we provide the $ amount, deadline, eligibility criteria, description, and link to funder. Download this database freely here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-op…
let's nerd deeper into it shall we :: - we can actually apply Nyquist Theorem here - classic interpretation says that you should sample a signal at least twice its highest frequency to accurately capture it - we can assume that the longer is the video, the less info density it…

Emergent phenomena exist widely in large-scale systems. It is very strange to deny this. Otherwise, we lack the tools to study such large systems.

Send me your NeurIPS stuff! I'm gathering a list of neuroAI papers and workshops to share on the NeuroAI archive.
