1/X Excited to present this preprint on multi-tasking, with
@david-g-clark.bsky.social and Ashok Litwin-Kumar! Timely too, as “low-D manifold” has been trending again. (If you read thru the end, we escape Flatland and return to the glorious high-D world we deserve.) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
A theory of multi-task computation and task selection
Neural activity during the performance of a stereotyped behavioral task is often described as low-dimensional, occupying only a limited region in the space of all firing-rate patterns. This region has...

1/6 Why does the brain maintain such precise excitatory-inhibitory balance?
Our new preprint explores a provocative idea: Small, targeted deviations from this balance may serve a purpose: to encode local error signals for learning.

We're not the only species that works hard for our food. These are wild yellow-breasted capuchins (Sapajus xanthosternos) cracking forest nuts in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Much like their bearded capuchin relatives, they use large hammers and leave stone flakes behind 🏺🐒🧪🥜

Ese día,
cuando ya no tenga nostalgia.
Cuando la memoria sea solo un recuerdo, una fotografía en blanco y negro.
Ese día,
será también noche,
será sol y será luna,
será abrazo y tus ojos.
Ese día,
será tu mano en mi cabeza,
será el silencio,
será el tiempo que gané y perdí,
será, otro día.
