What happens in our brains when we come to consensus? I’m super excited to finally share the first video in a series of #neuroscience animated explainers for @InteractingMind youtu.be/ZmgJdih0g3I

When @beausievers first presented this work in our lab, I remember everyone gasping for air. Fantastic idea and such beautiful methods and analysis. So ambitious. Check this out!

We talk to share how we see the world. Here, we show that natural consensus-building conversation leads to future neural synchrony. Deeply satisfying to see this in print. With @c_welk , @HassonLab , @akleinb , and @ThaliaWheatley link.springer.com/article/10…

Consensus-building conversation leads to neural alignment

RIP Larry Polansky - a major influence, mentor, and friend to Indexical. Huge loss for the Santa Cruz music scene and greater experimental music community.

This year I am particularly looking for prospective graduate students who are interested in studying social cognition by using deep neural networks as cognitive models to explain the computations performed by social brain circuits.

Planning to apply to PhD programs this fall? I'm looking to recruit a new student to @SCRAP_Lab! If you're interested, please check out the @DartmouthPBS departmental FAQ here: pbs.dartmouth.edu/menufeatur… & my lab policy doc, which you can find on this page: scraplab.org/people/

It is widely believed that the planarian memory transfer experiments from the 1960s were flawed and non-replicable. They're now discussed only as a scientific cautionary tale. But the critiques themselves were flawed. This is actually a meta-scientific cautionary tale.

Cumulative culture must withstand environmental change🌍How? One possibility: people have many learning strategies at their disposal🧠 Imitation is optimal in stable environments. When circumstances change, causal models can help🌟 Work with @fierycushman! escholarship.org/uc/item/78c…

I love this, Nick's is great, this is great, eat their pizza berkeleyside.org/2023/07/18/…

Nick’s Pizza and Bakery is becoming a worker-owned collective

For the founder of Nick’s, an Arizmendi alumnus, spinning the shop off into a co-op was always in the back of his mind.

Looking for a good citation for the scaling hypothesis: the claim that neural nets exhibit qualitatively different abilities at scale. Interesting to see that although it seems a lot of people privately believe this, the published literature is waaaaaaaaay more circumspect

Been off Twitter for a while. Truly amazing how much bad-take-surfacing technology has developed. I'm in awe.
