I was honored to speak at Princeton’s symposium on The Physics of John Hopfield: Learning & Intelligence this week. I sketched out a perspective that ties together some of our recent work on ICL vs. parametric learning, and some possible links to hippocampal replay: 1/

This talk on Extropic’s thermodynamic computing approach has a nice discussion of ML on GPUs versus their approach and the detail of the latter leveraging transistor noise for probability distribution sampling

Bifurcations—an underexplored concept in neuroscience—can help explain how small differences in neural circuits give rise to entirely novel functions, writes Xiao-Jing Wang.

🎙️ New episode! We travel back to 19th-century Russia to meet Lyapunov, the mathematician who gave science the language of stability. From his friendship with Chebyshev to a life marked by devotion and tragedy, his 1892 thesis still shapes how we understand dynamics, uncertainty, and control today.

This year’s meeting will bring together leading researchers in #neuroscience, #robotics, #machinelearning, #controltheory, and #theoreticalneuroscience to explore how behaviour and intelligence emerge from complex feedback loops linking brains, bodies, and environments.

Traveling waves exist and provide efficient solutions to fundamental computational problems. It seems likely that evolution embraced them.

🎙️ New episode! Cosimo takes us inside the fascinating world of soft robotics 🤖🐙 Compliance over rigidity, shape as intelligence, and why underactuation may actually be a feature — unmissable! 😄
🎙️ New episode! Cosimo Della Santina takes us inside soft robotics — a young, daring field where compliance replaces rigidity, intelligence emerges from shape, and underactuation is a feature, not a flaw. A rare front-row seat to a discipline with more questions than answers. 🚀🧠

New preprint!

Why are long-range connectomic interactions in the cortex dominant in shaping dynamics in some experiments but apparently negligible in others?

We (w/ R Maran, @elimuller.bsky.social) address this question by studying a new hybrid model of cortical dynamics.
