Excited to see this in press @PNASNews ! with the amazing @MalachLab @ShanyGrossman. we illustrate the potential usefulness of finding convergent evolution between brain and engineered systems ,highlighting an intriguing parallel between entorhinal grid cells and JPEG lossy comp
Artificial systems are so different from the brain โ€” can they be informative about brain function? In our perspective with @SimonyErez and @ShanyGrossman, now in PNAS (pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23โ€ฆ), we borrow the concept of convergent evolution and argue that, paradoxically, (1/4)

Happy to see this work led by @zaidzada_ now published in @NeuroCellPress! We use LLM embeddings to capture word-by-word linguistic content transmitted from the speaker's brain to the listener's brain in real-time, face-to-face conversations: cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08โ€ฆ

Why do we get certain diseases whereas others do not exist? This new book builds a foundation for systems medicine. Starting from basic laws, it derives why hormone, immune and aging circuits are built the way the are, culminating in a periodic table of diseases.

Out of the shelter (again). I find it outstanding that @nature, @Nancy_Kanwisher and a long list of signators find @eLife's removal of Eisen disturbing. I am writing this because this saga should not end by him appearing as the victim.

โ€œToday, we urge each and every one of you to stand with us against terrorism. Just as we seek truth and understanding in science, so too must we seek truth in the world we inhabit. The power of the scientific community is immense, and our voices can resonate far beyond the walls of our laboratories. The recent events have shaken us to the core. But they have also reminded us of the importance of our collective power and action, and the impact we can have on the world. We must recognize that, as scientists, our words carry weight and our public statements have the power to influence opinions, policies, and, ultimately, the course of history. In the face of darkness, let our voices be the guiding light.โ€ This letter, titled โ€œStanding Together Against Terror and Violenceโ€, was sent today from the Weizmann Institute of Science Management to the international science community.

Gaslighting 101 by a leading scientist. This is where weโ€™re at. Rallies across the word supported the Final Solution (โ€œgas the Jewsโ€, swastikas), Intifada (armed resistance mostly against citizens), or just Hamas flags. And I hoped 3rd gen survivor traumas were unjustified.
