If a Meta AI model can read a brain-wide signal, why wouldn't the brain?

Your brain has a limit—around 7 things.
We built systems for 70. But that's not the problem. That's the design specification. 🧠✨
New #Heliox Season 5 finale: The Architecture of Understanding
This isn't about collapse. It's about reconstruction.
Why understanding our cognitive boundaries becomes our greatest strength:
• London cabbies
+ Marshallese navigators work WITH seven-dimensional minds
• Trust biology outperforms extraction economics (84% prediction accuracy!)
• Canadian policy choosing resilience: Build Canada Homes, ASHRAE 241 ($30B value)
• AI ethics frameworks honoring human creativity
• 75 countries translating research into real change
52 minutes synthesizing neuroscience, economics, climate science, AI governance into empowering framework.

🧠 In gaps near a millionth of an inch, consciousness might be dancing. Between trillions of synapses, molecular bridges hold synaptic contacts and slowly remodel with activity, weaving patterns so complex we might wonder if they could experience themselves.

Purpose in life acts as a psychological shield against depression, new study indicates

Cognitive load isn't the enemy – it's the gym. When learners offload complexity to AI, they skip the mental heavy lifting that builds neural pathways. Grandomastery flips this: structured randomness forces you to hold contradictions, bridge semantic gaps, juggle abstraction. Your brain doesn't streamline – it rewires. No shortcuts. Just cognitive resistance training for an unpredictable world. https://grandomastery.com#grandomastery #cognitivescience #creativethinking #neuroscience #learning
Listening to (or rather planning not to listen to) Andy Clark's new book "The Experience Machine"...I read the first two chapters myself. The narrator is not good, making me dislike the content...and guess who it is? Andy Clark. Harumph. #philosophyofmind #cognitivescience
[Neuropsicología del Color]
El rojo (#FF0000) tiene máxima activación en corteza visual y amígdala.
Problema: densidad de estímulos rojos superó umbral de habituación.
Resultado: el cerebro lo filtra como ruido cognitivo.
Solución: contraste contextual > saturación cromática.

🧠 🗝️ #fMRI #BrainDecoding: Was neuronale Signale wirklich zeigen
Wir behandeln #fMRI-Bilder oft so, als wären sie Momentaufnahmen aus dem privaten Inneren des Gehirns. Aber wie #DanielDennett in unserem #Zoomposium erklärt, sind diese farbenfrohen Aktivierungskarten keine wörtlichen Bilder – sie sind metaphorische Rekonstruktionen.

🧠 🗝️ #fMRI #BrainDecoding: What Neural Signals Really Show
We often treat #fMRIimages as if they were snapshots of the brain’s private inner theater. But as #DanielDennett explains in our #Zoomposium, these colorful activation maps are not literal images—they are metaphorical reconstructions.

Super interesting frim John Hawks:
Bringing Emotional Cognition to deep time.
In a new article, my coauthors and I draw upon cognitive science to draw out archaeological traces of ancient social lives.

Request from academic psychology people & those adjacent: General principles for academic psychology?
I'm developing a list of "general principles" for my Intro Psych course. I'm thinking of giving the list of general principles to the students so they can select one and write an assignment with it.
These are intended to be statements that are generally true across multiple domains and describe patterns in what #cognitiveScience / #psychology has discovered over the past century and a half.
(Note: At this time I'm not looking for principles of counseling or therapy, though I'm definitely open to principles that apply across counseling/clinical and other domains, if they are research-based)
If you have #suggestions, please chime in! And if you have suggested tweaks or deletions from my current list, I hope you'll share (I mean, don't be personally insulting about it; otherwise, I welcome the feedback).
Here's my list so far, in no particular order, is in this document. If you have suggestions, make them here or there (it should be editable by anyone with the link)

🗣️ Language connects people — #NLP lets computers join the conversation.
At @SICampus we explore it from all angles:
💬 Spoken Language (Prof. Klakow)
🧩 Cognition & Psycholing (Prof. Demberg)
🧠 Computational Linguistics (Prof. Koller)
💭 LaCoCo Lab (Prof. Hahn)
🇪🇺 This mix makes Saarbrücken a strong European hub for NLP research.

I’ve posted a conceptual preprint exploring a possible link between cosmological natural selection, constructor theory, and the unusually large counterfactual/imaginative capacity of human cognition.
Looking for critique before preparing a journal submission.
