I'm worried about outsourcing to a machine something that's part of our common endeavour to figure out the world. It's not enough that stuff is figured out, it's about **us** figuring it out! I don't remember phone numbers anymore – I outsourced that to my phone. I don't want that for my science.

On trial averaged vs single trial: "Trial-averaged population decoding of task-related signals has given us many fundamental insights. But, through averaging, it can make neural population dynamics seem like a calm, stately progression towards logical outcomes ...

(...) crucially, once we move from probabilistic inference to environmental attunement, it is not longer necessary to understand learning as encoded in representation, but as manifest in the animal's anticipatory dynamics that improve grip on the affordances on offer. doi: 10.1007/s11229-016-1239-1
