The @NeuroscienceSAS summit is a wrap! Three days of 'intensively-informal' discussions on the state and future of neuroscience in a most beautiful setting. Thanks to Luigi Pulvirenti and Pierre Magistretti for organizing.

The biggest difficulty people (even fairly senior folks) seem to have in grasping that most deep learning models perform interpolation is that they think "interpolation" means "input-space L2 interpolation", i.e. linear regression 🤦

Very informative discussion about the dimensionality of neural data.
Are you interested in the dimensionality of neural data, but missed our #BernsteinConference workshop w/ @lowrank_adrian @CimesaLjubica @NanNanS20 ?
Worry not!
Instead, join me in this long thread (1/37) attempting to summarise it and (my view of) the field more broadly.
