BeeCycling has movedAttention! I recently learned that the behaviour of lying flat out on the belly with arms and legs spread out that some animals do, often to cool off, by radiating heat into the cooler ground, is called "splooting." I personally have been calling it "going full rug", but I guess splooting is also hilarious. So here's a red panda splooting, in case you need a demonstration. #RedPanda
Earl K. MillerVery cool. Representational drift plays a role in plasticity.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0959438823000715
Everything in the brain is likely to have a function. And at the electric field level, there's little representational drift.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2022.119058
So, representational drift can do its thing at one level but still result in a stable signal at a higher level.
Martin StendelI have to repeat myself. Why isn't this on the headline of all newspapers?
