A new preprint that revives the theory of continous attractors that may be surprising to you! Despite their mathematical fragility, we show that they are functionally *robust*. No wonder we see approximate continuous attractors in neuroscience often. arxiv.org/abs/2408.00109

I've been a happy customer of @TheBrainTech product since 2015 or before, using the free tier which had basic cloud sync function. I finally upgraded to the PRO version and paid $200+ and I can no longer use the basic sync function... am I doing something wrong?
