Huge kudos to Annemarie Wolff, who has been spearheading Quantum Computing for #NeuroAI in the lab for the past 2 years 💪⚛️🧠 And if our short piece tickled your interest and you want to go deeper, there’s also the 46-page “director’s cut” version 😅 osf.io/preprints/ps...

⚛️🧠 Why might neuroscience need quantum computing? Not because the brain is "quantum", but because interactions between local & global dynamics create an enormous representational challenge. Our piece in @natrevneuro.nature.com argues quantum computers could open a new path: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Exactly! While we are not showing the variation of dimensional complexity, the idea of the model is directly about the E/I imbalance and how coma can also be associated with a supercritical regime. It follows our previous paper www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

What mechanisms underlie health benefits of social interaction? @ryssamoffat.bsky.social @introspection.bsky.social @escross.bsky.social show that neural synchrony during a creative drawing program decreases in intergenerational dyads & increases in same-generation @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4gbafyY

An intergenerational dyad draws together. Without prompts and through collaboration, they create shared drawing. While they draw, their brain activity is recorded using mobile sensors and their body movements are tracked using video-based motion capture. Photograph captured by Ryssa Moffat. The participants depicted in this photograph have provided written consent for their likeness to be published alongside open-access online research outputs.

During interactions with others, "there are synchronizations that appear between two nervous systems...we have this phenomenon within brains. This [also] happens between agents," said Guillaume Dumas, @introspection.bsky.social, of @mila-quebec.bsky.social at the Simons Institute.
