Probably the coolest use of sin and cos functions you have ever seen!
a=(y,d=mag(k=(y<5?6+sin(y^1)*6:4+cos(y))*cos(i+t/4),e=y/3-13)+sin(e/4-t)/3)=>point((q=y*k/5*(2+sin(d*2+y-t*4)))+90*cos(c=d/3-t/2+i%2)+200,q*sin(c)+d*29-170) t=0,draw=$=>{t||createCanvas(w=400,w);background(9).stroke(w,96);for(t+=PI/90,i=1e4;i--;)a(i/790)}//#つぶやきProcessing

In this short letter we explain why binding problems occur in the brain and why deep neural networks need to cope with them. We respond to Scholte and de Haan (TICS 2025), who previously claimed the opposite.

Suplica et al. provide human EEG evidence for a modality-independent, item-based signature of working memory storage. The study provides further evidence for an abstract indexing operation underlying...

Hirschbichler et al. find that DBS-induced VTA inhibition does not impair reinforcement learning, but does lead to more strategic betting behaviour. They propose that the VTA may help sustain reward-driven behaviours over time. https://t.co/wwXAqrJIWQ

So great to see high quality behavioural modelling together with population decoding!
How do animals learn new rules? By systematically testing diff. behavioral strategies, guided by selective attn. to rule-relevant cues: https://t.co/Bxr8xalkmr Akin to in-context learning in AI, strategy selection depends on the animals' "training set" (prior experience).

This helps clinicians establish diagnoses more firmly, but also use more fine-grained phenotyping that acknowledges the blurred edges between these disorders. Classifier weights also available!

Currently, consensus clinical criteria are used to label patients. Harnessing two large cohorts of patients from across the UK (total N=1138), we found that patients with different labels also had different patterns on cognitive and psychiatric measures.

Diagnosing Parkinson’s disease is hard because of the many variants, with different underlying causes. We found that cognitive and psychiatric profiles may help doctors distinguish them. https://t.co/UJQO4SSf9M

I'm planning to write an editorial in @Brain1878 entitled "If patients only knew". It's about obstacles that slow down or prevent people from participating in clinical studies and the pace of initiating #ClinicalTrials. If you have experience or comments please message me and RT

Mallas & De Simoni et al. show that methylphenidate modulates connectivity between the caudate nucleus and large-scale brain networks after TBI, and propose that this may be the mechanism by which the drug enhances cognitive function. https://t.co/HI19yTOR9U

🧠 AI in neurology is here - and it’s powerful. ⚡ Stroke on MRI? 93% sensitivity/spec. 🧠 TBI outcomes? >80% accuracy. 🧪 ICH on CT? 92% sens, 94% spec. 📉 Epilepsy EEGs? Detected via AI. But challenges remain. Clinical integration needs neurologists at the helm. #AI #Neurology
