#Gaza The human suffering is shocking. Thousands killed. People have limited access to food & water. Hospitals are near collapse. Hospital corridors are full of wounded & displaced. Destroyed infrastructure & homes will take years to rebuild. ❌ Even wars have limits.

1/ Story time! Can rats control their thoughts? Can they think about a remote place distant from their current location, just like we do?
Very excited to share our new preprint on visual processing in the octopus! Led by Judit Pungor @traceofpink, together with @jsongco_ and @climbing_octo, we measured the functional organization of visual responses in the octopus brain. 🐙👁️ biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n
Can you imagine what happens to HHS Federal agencies such as FDA, CDC, NIH if the Florida Governor becomes POTUS and he populates the leadership of those agencies with members of his so-called integrity committee? OMG, what a horror show

The city of Oakland’s longest rent strike has ended in victory for tenants. They didn’t just win necessary repairs or rent control; they decommodified their housing, getting profit-motivated landlords out of the picture altogether. jacobin.com/2022/08/how-oa…
New paper! A very fun collaboration between @amymni and @cc_huang11 (with @BrentDoiron and me along for the ride) was just published in @eLife “A general decoding strategy explains the relationship between behavior and correlated variability” elifesciences.org/articles/67258 🧵1/9
Focus on the green dot You will see one or more of the yellow dots vanish and reappear. The dots themselves haven’t gone, but what you experience is a struggle for supremacy between the left and right side of the brain. Source:bit.ly/3NxtnFV
From Vienna to Chile, the success of social housing for the working and middle classes shows how beautiful homes can coexist with urban housing for all. jacobinmag.com/2018/11/beauti…
The paradox of our Golden Age of science: more research is being published by more scientists than ever, but the result is actually slowing progress! With too much to read & absorb, papers in more crowded fields are citing new work less, and canonizing highly-cited articles more.
Shockingly, mindfulness apps really work. This randomized controlled trial on the Headspace app finds it reduces anxiety and depression by a huge .44 standard deviations after 4 weeks - in the same range as drug treatment & cognitive behavioral therapy. adviksh.com/files/in_progr…
Happy to share a preprint on our latest work - measuring visual coding in freely moving mice! @elliott_abe and @CosmouseVision mapped receptive fields and demonstrated the impact of eye/head position. 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hey @PracheeAC & Chlamy folks did you see this? (1) Load algae (C.r.) into frog vasculature (vid) (2) deprive the brain of O2 til it stops working then (3) turn on the lights for photosynthesis & the brain starts up again. Bonkers. doi.org/10.1016/j.isci…

A “groundbreaking” new study suggests the ancestors of both humans and Neanderthals were cooking lots of starchy foods at least 600,000 years ago. fcld.ly/oo8jtfz

Yes but animals are built innately with the capacity to represent models of the world and language models aren’t. And that, my friend, is the dunk that someday you will come to appreciate.
language models just being programmed to try to predict the next word is true, but it’s not the dunk some people think it is. animals, including us, are just programmed to try to survive and reproduce, and yet amazingly complex and beautiful stuff comes from it.
