#NEUROSCIENCE “Criticality offers a powerful framework for understanding #brain function and dysfunction,” says UdeM's Karim Jerbi. He's in the cover story of this week's @newscientist.com. #psychology #chaos

The crucial role of chaos in our brain’s most extraordinary functions
That the human mind treads a delicate line between order and disorder is a radical idea that’s gaining traction - and is changing our understanding of intelligence, consciousness and creativity

Very cool looking paper out today from Jess Thompson and Chris Summerfield, showing how to get rapid (zero-shot) generalization in counting behaviour with a dual stream deep network:

Zero-shot counting with a dual-stream neural network model
How does the brain represent the structure of a visual scene (the relations among items, e.g., the cardinality) independent of scene contents (the objects in the scene, e.g., item identity)? Thompson et al. propose a dual-stream neural network model based on the parallel pathways of the primate visual system.
