Ich habe noch nie einen US-Präsidenten gesehen, der den Staatspräsidenten eines anderen Landes so respektlos behandelt. Donald Trump ist seines Amtes unwürdig – und unsere Welt in großer Gefahr. Wir erleben eine Zeitenwende in dunkle Zeiten.

Sounds highly relevant! Looking forward to read it.
I'm happy to share our Review article, "Cognitive Maps and Schizophrenia", synthesising evidence for representation-level abnormalities in the condition, and proposing directions for future work. Out now in Trends in Cognitive Science.

Nice! Thanks for sharing @hugospiers.bsky.social
Wow one of the best videos of basic hippocampal anatomy for the human brain.

Very helpful for those curious to see where memories for events and episodes are first stored in the brain:

Is there some recent comparison of OpenAI's GPT-4 and Google's current Bard? Due to recent slowdown of GPT-4, I tried Bard today again and I am surprised about the massive improvement in quality and speed.
