The next interface isn’t a screen — it’s neural.
PL network team @precisionneuro.bsky.social is working at the intersection of neuroscience and digital interaction, exploring how neural signals can help people with neurodegenerative diseases.
My latest on Substack -- a write-up of the talk I gave at NeurIPS in December.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
I sure hope so. I’ve been unable to think about anything else all day
I love rock soup! You know what would make this rock soup even a little more delicious…?!
Introducing CorText: a framework that fuses brain data directly into a large language model, allowing for interactive neural readout using natural language.
tl;dr: you can now chat with a brain scan 🧠💬

Awesome work from @maxhodak.bsky.social and the Science Corp team
So stoked for you!! And lucky UCL!
The language / learning typo is intriguing
Can’t recommend this opportunity strongly enough!!
An exciting collaboration is underway. @thetransmitter.bsky.social is partnering with @neuromatch.bsky.social to serve the computational neuroscience community and help connect neuroscientists across all career stages.

typical corrupt science
This is spot on. Not only are definitions missing, there’s not even a framework for definitions. It’s “missing step 2” the whole way down
I’d like to hear more about how this is working for you. Anecdotally, I’ve heard vibe coding isn’t great for scientific programming where you are probably doing something farther from the training distribution than in other software domains
I disagree
Eva Dyer and I wrote an opinion piece for @thetransmitter.bsky.social on why neuroscience needs to embrace complexity and accept the "bitter lesson" by using a data-driven regime at scale.
With commentary from several wonderful researchers!

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.
Congrats! So cool to narrate your own book 😎
Not to toot my own horn, but Neuromatch's NeuroAI course is one of the best places to learn about this exciting area of neuroscience. Students and postdocs, apply!

Too bad the great debate is paywalled…
Sad to think that my ratty but beloved Columbia hoodie may soon become a collectors item. While I think Armstrong’s mea culpa is insane, resist or capitulate – I don’t think it matters. The plan is clearly to annihilate at least one major research university and Columbia appears to be the target
Do some science! Make some friends!
At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years.
Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.
Very cool work, David! Congrats!
(1/30) New preprint! "Symmetries and continuous attractors in disordered neural circuits" with Larry Abbott and Haim Sompolinsky

Remember how, when the lockdowns started, every organization said "we only have two weeks of cash on hand and will shut down if we don't get assistance"? That's basically happening to every single lab and NGO right now, except for no actual reason.
Worth also pointing out that there are many "tests so easy no AI system can pass them".
Moravec's paradox remains.
E.g., arxiv.org/abs/2404.12390
Amazing!
Congrats on the move!
