I've been writing a textbook on computational cognitive neuroscience, which has prompted me to assess the evidence supporting various theoretical ideas. It's striking to me how some ideas have an extraordinary shelf life despite weak evidence.

What is or isn't a "BCI"? We argue in Nature BME today that if the tech stimulates or records brain activity AND does computation, it's a BCI. www.nature.com/articles/s41... But we still need a way to discuss different types of BCI separately... 🧵 #BCI #BrainComputerInterface

This book explores the argument (through NDEs and OBEs) that the brain itself doesn’t produce consciousness. Instead, the brain acts as a reducing valve to shift our nonphysical consciousness into a limited capacity that is useful to help the material human body survive #MorningReads #BookSky

I honestly believe all LLM results should come with a disclaimer reminding people that the thing doesn’t (and absolutely cannot) know any facts or do any reasoning; it is simply designed to *sound* like it knows facts and frequently sweeps some up accidentally in the process.
