Two new additions to the library:
"Renormalization" by the great Phil Nelson
& "Theoretical Neuroscience" by none other than XJ Wang!
@xjwang.bsky.social thanks for the much needed missing textbook.

I found that during seizures, the brain's finely tuned excitation-inhibition balance breaks down dramatically, but remarkably, an active mechanism restores it post-seizure. Insights into pathological symmetry breaking & recovery! #Epilepsy 4/n

Cortex exhibits "scale-invariant mirroring" across different temporal scales, from milliseconds to seconds. This suggests robust, underlying dynamics

We had a cool event on GenAI. Each of the funded proposals had lightning talk. The diversity of the ideas, ranging from applications in bio, to material sci to computersci etc was very neat. Mine was about Neuro-Inspired system for Scientific Hypothesis Generation...let's see what comes out of this🤔

Great account on Barlow's legacy by @mameister4.bsky.social
Horace was a great visionary.
Here are some pics from my visit with happy Horace & his puppy (circa 2015). The visit was part of a book "long in brewing" about biological computation that I am writing about. At 95 he was sharp as a hawk! 🧵
