After all, you can read information from the brain's electric fields:

Loved this ms because: (1) ann have similar illusions to humans (2) new interpretation of “efficient” codes (3) intuition about why ann work so well https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-35659-7 with @aribenjamin zhang and stocker

Exciting (independent) Postdoctoral Fellow opportunities at the intersection of #Neuroscience and #AI (#NeuroAI) at the Kempner Institute at Harvard. Please boost to increase our reach and diversity.

In the Neuralink presentation yesterday, Musk put vision restoration front and center. He specifically said this would work for the congenitally blind because they still have a visual cortex.

Two hundred years of experiments on site restoration in human, and many fundamental cellular experiments of visual development and the limits of adult plasticity, show this is false.

I hope Neuralink picks a better goal for the advanced technology they are building.

Hey everyone - as I look ahead to my tenure application coming up in the next 1-2 years, I'm really interested in getting out there more to share my lab's research. We are working on 6 papers for submission in 2023 - tons of cool projects to talk about! I am happy to do in person or virtual talks. Please reach out if you're looking to fill seminar slots! #neuroscience #academia #research

Hi, just join neuromatch.social. I am glad to introduce #introduction myself

My name is Ru-Yuan Zhang, currently an Associate Professor at Institute of Psychology at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Shanghai Mental Health Center.

We are particularly interested in the neurocomputational mechanisms of human perception and decision making. Our recent projects include: 1) perceptual learning in humans and DNNs; 2) computational principles of population codes; 3) metacognition deficits in populations with psychiatric diseases. Our goal is to promote dialogues between people in neuroscience and machine learning and foster translational applications to clinical practice (i.e., psychiatry).

You can find us here https://ruyuanzhang.github.io/

Besides research, l joined the Neuromatch Academy to help organize accessible and inclusive summer schools of computational neuroscience and deep learning. Through NMA I feel I am connected to brilliant minds all over the world.

Happy to read new ideas on Mastodon.

This is the PsychoPy team's #introduction to Mastodon.

PsychoPy is an #opensource package to build and run experiments in #python and #js

PsychoPy is a widely used tool for the behavioural sciences like #psychology #linguistics #economics #neuroscience

This account will also tweet about other parts of the ecosystem like #pavlovia (it's like GitHub for behavioural science) and #PsychoJS

Looking forward to chatting with you here! 🥰😁
