Transients! We love to see it. I think I need to look for a review covering recent work on transients in high dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems. It was a bit of a hot topic in the early 90s and I ran with it (i.e. why not compute and readout with transients rather than attractors).
Does stability matter in biology? My article on the cover of this month’s @PLOSCompBiol explores how large ecosystems develop supertransients, a manifestation of computational hardness (1/N)

@wang.social was it neural tangent kernels that you mentioned to me after the talk today? If so was there some specific new paper or development?

"More singing" is almost always part of the solution, regardless of the problem. I love this woman for that observation.
"More singing would be better" is also just objectively true, for so many reasons both physiological and spiritual. It's unifying

More of this please. It was something of a footnote in my dissertation work but with a neural field approach to categorization and invariance, there would inevitably arise "stuck on" sites that would be interpreted as Jennifer Aniston cells if you liked that sort of thing.
"The inevitability and superfluousness of cell types in spatial cognition" w Ken Luo @robmok.bsky.social Whether place, border, head direction, Jennifer Aniston, or whatever cells, are we fooling ourselves? Are these intuitive findings scientific discoveries? 1/6 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Looking forward to diving in.
New paper! A universal pattern of brain wave frequencies. They are slower in deep cortical layers and faster in superficial layers. When something is this ubiquitous, you know it is doing something important.
