I just saw a baby with her leg torn open. An infant in a diaper crying in pain from her leg torn apart. I saw toddlers were their heads wrapped in bloody cloth and the wake of another Israeli strike, all in between videos of buildings being destroyed. A live-streamed slaughter.

A retired doctor in her 80s is arrested and led away, after holding a cardboard sign for most of the afternoon that reads quote: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action”. @novaramedia

🚨BREAKING: Hundreds arrested in Parliament Square for peaceful protest against ban of Palestine Action When the Government is arresting people under terrorism laws for sitting peacefully in protest, something is going very wrong here in the UK. Peaceful protest is a

Researchers were able to freeze learning in mice. This great recent work shows the striatum is required for skill learning but not skill use (through optogenetics). Understanding the memory-making mechanism helps understand the core idea. Here is my toy model and notes:

The word "cognition" has its origins in classical terms related to the concept of knowing. Yet its use is often debated in psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience. This collection of short essays addresses the central question: What is cognition? https://t.co/EVzurqEUS5

Very pleased to share our latest study!

Can AI help understand how the brain learns to see the world? Our latest study, led by @JRaugel from FAIR at @AIatMeta and @ENS_ULM, is now out! 📄 https://t.co/y2Y3GP3bI5 🧵 A thread:

TMLR's (@TmlrOrg) review process: 1. is structured around clear and well-defined acceptance criteria (Is the paper sound and interesting?) 2. allows authors to revise after reviews based around these criteria 3. has no capped acceptance rate. A lot of fine science gets accepted.

The outstanding Francesca Albanese dismisses 🇺🇸 sanctions against her: “It’s ok” “This is not a sign of strength” “It’s a sign of guilt” “I will stand tall like millions of others” “We must bring this genocide in Gaza 🇵🇸 to an end” Stand with Francesca. https://t.co/lX9JUJ6V2b

Most reports about this paper focused on the mind "password" aspect. But IMHO, the most exciting part is the existence of a neural intention axis. This is a slap in the face for modern motor neuro, worth simplifying for better understanding. Here are my notes and toy model:

"a tragic mishap" wouldn't have happened is Israel would stop bombing the hell out of Gaza day in and day out. What a sad state of affairs that our "ally in the middle east" behave in this barbarian fashion, supplied by US and EU weapons!

Israeli strikes on a hospital in southern Gaza killed at least 20 people, including at least three journalists, medical staff, patients and rescue workers

Famine is the global standard for defining the most severe form of hunger. It occurs when people are starving on a massive scale. A famine is never declared by a single organization alone. @WFP explains more. https://t.co/JTk6DqdR0G

It’s a famine that’s happening a few 100 metres away from available food, says Tom Fletcher, after Gaza’s israeli-led famine is declared

BREAKING: #Famine, with reasonable evidence, is confirmed in #Gaza Governorate. After 22 months of relentless conflict, over half a million people in Gaza are facing catastrophic conditions characterised by starvation, destitution and death. https://t.co/rpwSjtMSwd

A new preprint from our lab with @ZelechowskiM & @georg98keller! Using wireless EEG + VR, we recorded visuomotor mismatch responses in freely moving humans. Huge thanks to all participants, Keller Lab members and FMI facilities! Read more: https://t.co/cQ9nqxhbyM
