Updated on the 🧠#brain effective connectivity library.
1. Added #Reservoircomputing causality as nonlinear #Granger:
github.com/alecrimi/eff...
2. Now labels on to the nodes
3. Added directionality shown with colors from blue to white (white as the arrows)

we are merging macro with micro scale🧠connectome, in the meanwhile I share with you my recreation of Kasabov Neucube in #Python, #spiking #neuralnetwork 🗠🗠🗠 (SNN) model, #brain portion simulation:
Blue dots→ excitatory neurons
Red dots→ inhibitory neurons

Given all research I have seen on disintegration of plaques, I was wondering why nobody thought about human applications:

🧠 how the brain understands speech: it encodes sounds → words → meaning in a hierarchical dynamic code (HDC). Higher-level features evolve slower, letting the brain track language over time without interference.

Side project: creating a Greenshade for lowering the temperature outside (ivy releases microdrops of water through the geotextile.
Current challenge: ivy growing slowly to cover the whole geotextile. See the length in the current prototype

🧠 1/ It’s not the thought that counts

"Allostasis is predictive regulation, distinguished from the concept of homeostasis, which involves reactive regulation to perturbations that return a system back to an optimal set point."

The brain primary job isn’t to think but to regulate

Amazing paper:"Arousal as a universal embedding for spatiotemporal brain dynamics"🧠🐁 𒅒𒈔
www.nature.com/articles/s41... you can even find the #autoencoder based code: github.com/ryraut/arous...
but dear #Brain people🧠,
why do you find cool brain dynamics, state trajectories, embedding?
