My essay on what I realized while writing Elusive Cures that got me *so excited* I decided to redirect my entire research program (from studying memory to studying mood). Out today in IAI news.

Nice review of the affordance hypothesis by @edbaggs.bsky.social & @diovicen.bsky.social!
Especially liked how it situates Gibson’s ideas within their historical context while linking them to today. Great read for those interested in the link between perception and action! osf.io/preprints/ps...

Week 3 in S&P at NDSU and students have their first assignment out (due this Friday). I thought this was a good time to share how I've set up assessments in the course, which has changed a lot from when I first began teaching this material. A 🧵 about my #VisionScience syllabus and grading. <1/n>

This paper taught me that we can use mathematical modeling to understand how neural networks are organized—and led me to a doctoral program in the department led by its authors.

Great write up on the 10 bits/s paper.
Conjecture: this slow information flow rate is the price we pay for better generalization.
We learn to pay attention to “slow varying features” for better generalization (a la slow feature analysis, Wiskott and Sejnowski).

I wrote about a scientific paper called “The Unbearable Slowness of Being” which finds that the human brain’s throughput is just 10 bits per second. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/26/s...

In today's lecture in my nonlinear dynamics and chaos course, I tried to give intuition for where chaos comes from. It's caused by repeated stretching and folding of phase space.

Conceptual space is of course not reducible to a set of points in a vector space. But even if it was, the dimensions that are represented would be species specific and depend on what matters to that species. Different species seem doomed to never fully understand each other's conceptual spaces.
