Bifurcation is the missing half of dynamical systems theory for neuroscience. I's time to go beyond Marr's levels, to a cross-level mechanistic understanding. AI needs a PFC. Xiao-Jing Wang on that and his new theoretical neuroscience textbook.

Neuroscience is hard, turns out. Embrace the complexity and model it all, says @NicoleCRust. Fun discussion about a Grand Plan to make real progress treating brain disorders.

RT @NicoleCRust: Wonderful to chat with @pgmid on Brain Inspired, where we discuss many things. Among them: What are we brain researchers….

I'm not sure what a representation is anymore. or maybe I never knew. These fine folks have some thoughts. .

Neuronal avalanches!. (they aren't what they sound like). John Beggs on the critical brain hypothesis: its history and current status, the how and why, its detractors, and more.

RT @JesParent: Up the Complexity Discussion group at Brain Inspired, hosted by @pgmid, the next paper up is this 1943 classic that I review….

RT @AnnaLeptikon: Join @pgmid today as we revisit another foundational work in cognitive and complexity science, and reflect on how biology….

Wanna test your consciousness theory, in a massive adversarial collaboration (@ArcCogitate)?. Call @ferrante_oscar, @RonyHirsch, & @LepauvreAlex (don't call, but you'd be in good hands!). Integrated information theory vs. global neuronal workspace theory.

Pretty packed and lots of fun with @DeanBuono. AI and neuro diverging. Physicists and neuroscientists try to reconcile time. IIT requires a new physics. Predictive coding & replay in organotypic brain slices. A guest Q from @dav_robbe. Phew!.

NeuroAgents?. A new Turing Test for NeuroAI?. Need I say more?.Perhaps. happy belated birthday NeuroAran @aran_nayebi!.

Ah, so that's what a schema is!. And that's why my teenage years were so. well, I'll let Alison @preston_lab tell you.

I'm starting a discussion group to explore how foundational ideas in complexity science can help us think about - and better explain - minds and brains (natural and artificial). Details and option to sign up:.

Ciara @ciaragreene01 puts me at ease about my poor memory. We discuss all the glorious ways our memories are encoded, altered, affected by emotion, and expressed, all to help us function in the world. Check out her book Memory Lane, w @gillysmurf.

Wait, so all our neurons are little control freak agents?. Mitya @chklovskii:.Well, most of them. some of them have to kinda be tricked into thinking they are, like the ones in our eyeballs. A heap of poetic license, but the gist is right.

David @dav_robbe is done looking for clocks in brains. Henri Bergson had it right, he says. We measure time by our actions and the flow of the world around us, and David has a treadmill and rodents to prove it! (Well, not prove prove, but, you know. ).

SFI @sfiscience president David Krakauer on the foundations and ongoing evolution of complexity science, and the four-pillar approach to thinking like a complexity scientist.

Following last episode w @RajeshPNRao's active predictive coding, Eli @EliSennesh shares a bayesian "divide-and-conquer" predictive coding algorithm. Also, his smooth, obstacle free (as always!) transition from theory to experiment in @BastosLabNeuro.

RT @RajeshPNRao: Episode 201 of the Brain Inspired podcast, featuring my conversation with Paul Middlebrooks @pgmid on classical predictive….

25 yrs ago, perception dominated neuroscience, and Raj's @RajeshPNRao predictive coding theory. Now, it's all about action-perception loops across the hierarchy. "active predictive coding.". Also, augmenting our cognition with AI neural co-processors!.
