Abstract representations emerge in human hippocampal neurons during inference - Nature

A task in which participants learned to perform inference led to the formation of hippocampal representations whose geometric properties reflected the latent structure of the task, indicating that abstract or disentangled neural representations are important for complex cognition.

@sciencemagazine what does banning Chinese students from labs accomplish? This Florida law is insane.

Reading my son’s high school chemistry book, and noted how chemists think of the world: chemistry is central to all sciences. They even think nuclear reaction is chemistry, and has a term for it:

nuclear chemistry.

And I thought neurophysics is an odd term…

Brian simulatorNov 30, 2023

We are finally on Mastodon, time for a little #introduction 👋 !

Brian is a #FOSS simulator for biological #SpikingNeuralNetworks, for research in #ComputationalNeuroscience and beyond. It makes it easy to go from a high-level model description in Python, based on mathematical equations and physical units, to a simulation running efficiently on the CPU or GPU.

We have a friendly community and extensive documentation, links to everything on our homepage: https://briansimulator.org

This account will mostly announce news (releases, other notable events), but we're also looking forward to discussing with y'all 💬

... many physicists consider the discovery and understanding of universality to be one of the most profound accomplishments of physics, if not science. If it is true, then universality conceptually overthrows the causal dominance of lower levels; it shows that emergent phenomena can stand on their own at larger scales. If it applies to the cortex, it would be revolutionary. But ...
