Cool podcast episode on how we, our brain, form and use memories , 1.5hrs https://braininspired.co/podcast/206/
As audio-only and as YT video.
With transcript. So if you find the guest's Ciara Greene fast Irish difficult to follow you can read along.

Proud to have managed to finish a #neuromorphic manuscript, with Chiara De Luca, Mirco Tincani and Elisa Donati just before the end of the year!
It demonstrates the benefits of using #braininspired principles of computation for achieving robust computation across multiple time-scales, despite the inherent variability of the underlying computational substrate (silicon neurons that emulate faithfully biological ones):

#Simplification in the #History & #Philosophy of #Neuroscience
» when we try to understand something complex, like the brain, using models, and math, and analogies, for example - we should keep in mind these are all ways of simplifying and abstracting away details to give us something we actually can understand.

necessary to do the science and limit the interpretation we can claim from our results «

I just listend to the #BrainInspired podcast with Andrea Martin. @andrea https://braininspired.co/podcast/169/
It was a tour de force on a variety of #linguistics and #nlp/ #LLMs topics. Wow.
@NicoleCRust @debivort @MolemanPeter @knutson_brain @kordinglab @dsmith @tdverstynen Right, so contextual constraints as causes just goes one important step further. The emergent properties that are hard to predict also meaningfully constrain the relationships/interactions between the individual components. Neurons are constrained by their neighbors, which are constrained by other brain areas, which are constrained by the brain as a whole, which are constrained by other people's brains, etc. These are all top-down constraints that can cause the "lower" components to behave in ways that would not be possible otherwise and would lack meaning without relation to the whole. If you define cause as efficient cause only, that's OK, and these can be labeled constraints. But I view them as equally causal.
And I'd formally model this myself but I know my limits ;)
I encourage you to check out Juarrero's book, even first 30 pages or so makes the point clear. Or listen to her on #braininspired for a summary.
Check out this discussion moderated by Paul Middlebrooks from #BrainInspired with yours truly & a number of actual neuroscientists (Katrin Franke, Ralf Haefner, Martin Hebart & Fred Wolf) about if & how machine learning can be used to gain insights into the brain: https://braininspired.co/podcast/177.
This latest episode of the #BrainInspired podcast, where Paul Middlebrooks interviews @WiringtheBrain is finger-licking good!

I'm reading "Free Agents" right now, and it's amazingly well written, accessible, and gets right to the point.

Agency is real, not doubt about it, and it's not even that mysterious.
Another #BrainInspired Cool Episode conversing @WiringtheBrain new book:
» what I’ve done in the book is sketch what I think is just really a framework for thinking about those things
...
that an organism could have causal power in and of itself and could could have control and could exercise choice.
...
even after having written this book, this question of choice is the one that still just niggles at me and «

Cool #BrainInspired Surprise:
#ContextChangesEverything comes about 25 years after her previous classic #DynamicsInAction
#AliciaJuarrero is a philosopher and has been interested in complexity since before it was cool

» @summerfieldlab book:
Natural General Intelligence:
How understanding the brain can help us build AI
makes the case that inspiration & communication between the #CogSci & #AI is hindered by the different languages each field speaks.
But in reality, there has always been and still is a lot of overlap and convergence about ideas of computation and intelligence, and illustrates this using tons of historical and modern examples «
I really liked this new episode of Brain Inspired. I may be settling into familiarity with the interview style, or I might have just listened to a few episodes that gave me an incorrect impression there are frequent interruptions of guests.
The discussion of what the alpha frequency in EEG really represents was nice (it comes more than 30 minutes in). I'll have to check out Ole Jensen's work!

What's a 'memory trace'? How do we store memories? How do we recall memories?! How on earth does memory work at all!?!
Sarah Robins understands more than most, and talks about Philosophy of Memory on the Brain Inspired podcast.
