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: I’m an old climber and I’ve found twice the link between climbing and drug addiction. As soon as I’ll be too old for climbing, I’ll make the shift 😂
Now can’t wait for the next one: The Four Realms of Existence: A New Theory of Being Human.
Should a #neuroscientist ride a bike 🏍️, she/he should for sure wear a helmet.
Here it comes the perfect one: https://www.instagram.com/p/CrEHihsOyNL/?igshid=MmJiY2I4NDBkZg==
Or should we ask for more accuracy?

My next reading has just arrived!

"When users inhabit a virtual world, their relationship with its creators is fundamentally political. It is tempting to believe that the community’s 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."

“AI 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 it’s crucial to get the facts straight.”

I like @philipcball style of writing! It keeps you always engaged.
I chuckled at this explanation, despite the fact I don’t like soccer:
“To say that it wasn't your mind that did it, but your molecules is as meaningless as to say that it wasn't the Manchester City football team that won the Premiership, but their molecules.”
“[…] massive combinatorial anatomical connectivity and distributed functional connectivity […] 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.”
