"the extremely strong desire is to just punish universities [..] It’s not based on any kind of coherent policy agenda. It’s just a desire to inflict pain."
This, is critical to understand. Pointing out "it's hurting us" won't do, since it's the whole point.

Wikipedia is one of the last major bastions of verified information. Which, of course, is why the oligarchs want to destroy it.

New paper out! 🚨 📰 With @batuhanerkat.bsky.social, John McClure, @hussainyk1.bsky.social, @polacklab.bsky.social we reveal how discretized representations in V1 predict suboptimal orientation discrimination. 🧪🧠🐭 This work reconciles neuro and psychometric curves

Discretized representations in V1 predict suboptimal orientation discrimination - Nature Communications
How animals generate perceptual decisions remains poorly understood. Here, the authors show that during a discrimination task, the mouse visual cortex does not encode the orientations of the cues but ...

The wonders of population coding! Recent paper by @juliencorbo.bsky.social et al. @polacklab.bsky.social -> visual cortex in trained mice encodes orientation differently from in naive mice... almost more "messily"(?)... but behavior is good. #neuroskyence #matlab 🧪 🧠
