In the current political/social climate, my lab thought it was important to declare our shared values to push back against all the right-wing political tendencies around the globe...

What do neuroscientists think about the sim-to-real gap? Especially Computational motor neuroscientists 🤔🧐

We have all these motor control models that work great in theory, but could they actually control movement, say in robotics?

Or the

Is this a stupid / trivial / irrelevant question?

So NeuroAI is all over building "digital twins" as a way forward to better understanding the brain and designing better AI systems. This is great of course...

... But it's hardly a new idea and people have been advocating for the importance of this for a long time, e.g. cf embodied cognition
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/embodied-cognition/

Many people in movement neuroscience have also advocated for this, e.g. Stephen Scott, Francisco Valero-Cuevas, Doug Crawford etc

We need to understand the body, it's sensory and motor systems, and the environment we evolve in in order to make sense of brain signals and function. My research program has been grounded in this (with various degrees of abstraction) forever 😁

They're fun, beautiful, engaging and very satisfying. And they take your mind of other (more negative) things. 🤗

And also, what are prime examples of good explainable Neuro-AI? (And what does this even mean to you?)

I should have probably asked this before submitting a grant about this...... But who do you all think does good explainable Neuro-AI?

New preprint out on how history dependence in data / neural processes affects our ability to carry out statistical inferences.

TL;DR: it's BAD!
