Join us to push the boundaries of neuromotor interfaces!
We have two exciting Research Scientist Intern positions open:
1️⃣ Neuromotor Interfaces: Computational Modeling (PhD) - This for AI-centric folks
2️⃣ Neuromotor Interfaces (PhD) - Research scientist catch-all, including signal processing, physics, experimental skills, etc.

(7/26) The most surprising phenomenology happens after input cessation at t≥0: neurons continue oscillating long after stimulation ends, with lifetimes exceeding any intrinsic system timescale, including the plasticity forgetting timescale, by an order of magnitude (panel iii).

The implication was the latter; that consciousness required biology. Therefore silicon consciousness was not viable.
Again, I was picking up an undertone and really hoping @dlbarack.bsky.social can shed light here, as he swims in these waters regularly and I was merely a guest.

On a related (perhaps different?) note, at the SNAP philosophy of neuro meeting, there was an undercurrent of thought that consciousness required biology. This really confused me because it felt a bit like “we need bio-magic” for consciousness.

Finally, a book that combines early childhood trauma with neural networks and AI. Just what the field was missing.

This is clearly it. 💯

On twitter, we used to call them tweeprints. I think we need a new name for BlueSky.
Ideas???

Maybe. Skeptical of the former and bullish on the latter.

But what if the murmuration does "compute-like" things, such as temporarily hold static (low-dimensional) state or transition along a temporarily constructed state diagram?
