Can we use RNNs for complex dynamical systems not just over finite time intervals but for all future time? Yes! And they also show the models can capture multistability & oscillations.

Does every visual experience shape the brain in the same way, or does what we see change how visual areas are wired?
🧠 New research from Leopoldo Petreanu’s Cortical Circuits Lab at the @champalimaudf.bsky.social, first co-authors Radhika Rajan and Rodrigo Dias, shows that visual experience matters.
