Graduate in philosophy and recently fascinated by neuroscience; since I'm an absolute novice, I'm looking for learning tools and inputs. I'm an old dog trying to learn new tricks.
I must thank so much Anil Seth, Lisa Feldman Barrett and Nancy Kanwisher for getting me in love with this science.
Also a climber.
I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go, but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.
Many thanks, @amygdaloid , for this journey. It will feed my thoughts for a long time from now on.

Fun fact: Iām an old climber and Iāve found twice the link between climbing and drug addiction. As soon as Iāll be too old for climbing, Iāll make the shift š
Now canāt wait for the next one: The Four Realms of Existence: A New Theory of Being Human.
Should a #neuroscientist ride a bike šļø, she/he should for sure wear a helmet.

Or should we ask for more accuracy?

"When users inhabit a virtual world, their relationship with its creators is fundamentally political. It is tempting to believe that the communityās problems can be solved with innovative engineering alone, but no clever algorithm can avert the need for wise governance. Just as in real-world policy, citizens respond to incentives, and antisocial behavior is hard to curb without unintended consequences."

āAI language models are notorious bullshitters, often presenting falsehoods as facts. They are excellent at predicting the next word in a sentence, but they have no knowledge of what the sentence actually means. That makes it incredibly dangerous to combine them with search, where itās crucial to get the facts straight.ā
ā[ā¦] massive combinatorial anatomical connectivity and distributed functional connectivity [ā¦] in conjunction with substantial network overlap, ensure that events of biological significance lead to the temporal evolution of network structure to meet the demands faced by the organism.ā

"If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what the heck was wrong with it. When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes."

"while US and EU politicians depict this as a problem stemming from authoritarian regimes, systems that rank and penalize people are already in place in the West. Algorithms designed to automate decisions are being rolled out en masse and used to deny people housing, jobs, and basic services."

Filmmakers use different techniques (e.g., camera movements, editing) to shape viewers' experience. In particular, editing can be used to handle the temporal unfolding of events represented in a movie. Nevertheless, little is known about how different editing types impact viewersā time perception. In an exploratory on-line study (90 participants) and a pre-registered conceptual replication study (60 participants), we asked participants to judge (Study 1) or reproduce (Study 2) the duration of 45 excerpts of the movie āLe Ballon Rougeā containing either continuous editing, action discontinuity editing or no editing. Each excerpt was formatted in three durations (2000, 2500 or 3000 ms). In both studies, we reported that scenes containing continuous editing were perceived as longer than the other two scene types. Moreover, scenes containing action discontinuity editing were perceived as longer than scenes with no editing. This study contributes to the emerging field of psycho-cinematics which could ultimately develop the dialog between arts and science.
