The double pendulum isn’t random and it is not broken physics. It is deterministic chaos, a system governed by precise rules that can still behave unpredictably. It’s one of the most iconic and widely studied examples of chaos theory in physics, mathematics, and engineering. IG: @quantumdigest

I came to the US as an international student in 2019, knowing that the Indian education system would be unable to provide the support I'd need to become the academic I'd want to be. Today, my peers are on the streets asking the government for accountability. And for that, they get brutalized. (1/2)

Such gaps emerge as a consequence of considering experience to be an internal cognitive construction. When we consider perception as arising within organism-environment relations, the gap dissolves.

My essay on what I realized while writing Elusive Cures that got me *so excited* I decided to redirect my entire research program (from studying memory to studying mood). Out today in IAI news.
Before writing Elusive Cures, I could not explain the “troubling disconnection” between what we researchers have been discovering and what society needs, despite my decades on the front lines of brain research. Moreover, I could not spell out what we plan to do about it. It took me years of surveying and contemplating brain and mind research at a high level to see the revolution that is happening, as well as understand why it’s happening now, and its implications. To date, brain and mind researchers have been limited by technology, but new breakthroughs have unlocked opportunities for a new type of progress. It begins by embracing the idea of the brain as a complex system. Now that I can see it, I’m unequivocally optimistic that the disconnections between discovery and societal needs will begin to dissolve. I am also excited to dive in and help make it happen, focusing on mood and depression.

Great write up on the 10 bits/s paper. Conjecture: this slow information flow rate is the price we pay for better generalization. We learn to pay attention to “slow varying features” for better generalization (a la slow feature analysis, Wiskott and Sejnowski).
