Lots of good discussion on this compelling new paper this week:

I'd like to offer my $0.02 along with some historical background that the article didn't give. 1/ #Neuroskyence #PsychSciSky
The unbearable slowness of being: Why do we live at 10 bits/s?
Zheng and Meister write about the paradoxical slowness of human behavior. Although our senses gather data at 109 bits/s, our overall information throughput is only 10 bits/s. This stark contrast touches on many fundamental aspects of brain function.

Delighted to highlight our new paper in
@natureportfolio.bsky.social entitled 'Synaptic basis of feature selectivity in hippocampal neurons' (thread below 👇): www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Synaptic basis of feature selectivity in hippocampal neurons - Nature
A temporally asymmetric synaptic plasticity kernel results from bidirectional modifications of synaptic weights around the induction of a place field.

How do a neural network's final parameters depend on its initial ones?

In this new paper, we answer this question by analyzing the training Jacobian, the matrix of derivatives of the final parameters with respect to the initial parameters.
