Proposal: A complementary criterion for dimensionality reduction (DR) of brain dynamics (" #brainmodes ") based on preserving synergy. #Synergy is a recently characterized, still understudied property of the brain.

Synergy is information in the whole system that is not in the parts alone.

My various brainmodes are squabbling over what to do with my vacation time this week.

ADHD- You could CLEAN ALL THE THINGS!

Internalized capitalism- You could submit ALL THE JOB APPS!

Spoonie- You could catch up on tv and sleep.

Hopefully this won't just lead to decision paralysis (thanx ADHD).

David M. Alexander presented his last DugueLab and ERC funded research at the 2024 BrainModes Conference yesterday. Good job!

Great first day at Brainmodes in Bilbao brainmodes-bilbao-2024.eu.
Some speaker won't show up, so I will need to turn my half assed poster in a half assed one fucking hour talk.
What should I talk about?
Hit me up.

Very cool to see that BrainModes will be livestreaming for free on youtube (starting tomorrow) brainmodes-bilbao-2024.eu

Excited about the second day of BrainModes 2023. We started off with a cool talk by Pieter Roelfsema who is working on visual prostheses

Maurizio Corbetta discusses the importance of spontaneous activity as a generative model to predict environment, body and cognition #BrainModes23 #BrainModes
