Today we are excited to release a NeuroDatasets tool, where one can browse and find all available neuroscience datasets for all major modalities: EEG, MRI, MEG, NIRS, PET and more. Check the NeuroDatasets tool here: datasets.neuro2.ai Huge shoutout to my amazing co-author @eugenehp.bsky.social !

After decades in neuroscience and BCIs, one question keeps coming up: what does each part of the brain do, and how can we measure it? Meet NeuroAtlas - a new tool to explore brain function across EEG, MEG, fMRI, tFUS, iEEG, TMS, DBS, and more! Link: atlas.neuro2.ai

No matter how good the dataset, this remains: “If no actual human wrote it, no human edited it, no human signed off on it, then what right does it have to tell me, a human, anything about my and our collective human history, art or culture?” @nataliyakosmyna.bsky.social in Naomi Rea's piece. Gift.

Research suggests that high use of social media and artificial intelligence affects attention and memory. But there is something you can do about it.

AI companies call it a “user problem” while slowly turning up the heat and boiling 🐸 It is not the first time it has happened, blaming the user, blaming the human, instead of actually proactively regulating it.

Today, I’m excited to present the first actionable step towards combating AI slop. The Humans Commons initiative has published a collection of the first-ever licenses designed to designate the result of human work under Human-first licenses, titled AI0. www.humanscommons.org
humanscommons.org
Licenses for the bright future of humanity
Humans Commons offers a range of open-source licenses – from AI0 (human-only use, no AI) to AI100 (public‑domain for all). Share & adapt freely.

New data shows the ways millions of people have integrated AI into their everyday lives. Also, it suggests that for now at least, AI is an individual productivity tool — both at work and in our personal lives — rather than the broader workplace disrupter many in Big Tech predicted. on.ft.com/47cKBVN

Will AI Choke Off the Supply of Knowledge?
More people turn to ChatGPT and other large language models for answers, but they don’t add to the stock of knowledge.

Global ‘beta’ mode: The massive AI experiment
“It looks like it was made by ChatGPT” is now a colloquial expression. It conveys poor quality, mental laziness, and a lack of spark; not superintelligence, despite OpenAI’s promises when it launched its GPT5 version. Nearly three years after this tool burst into our lives, the revolutions promised by the multi-billion-dollar commercial interests behind artificial intelligence (AI) haven’t arrived. Nor have the self-servingly prophesied apocalypses. Seguir leyendo

Just 5 weeks after I talked to the Time magazine's Andrew Chow and mentioned that "I am afraid in 6-8 months, there will be some policymaker who decides, 'let's do GPT kindergarten!", we are now getting news about Baby Grok. This timeline is not the one I desire for our universe.

@meghanor.bsky.social article is exceptional, the concerns raised apply just as much to scientific writing. You can use AI to generate ideas, to summarize, to even write your grants & manuscripts...but, ethics aside, do you miss out on 'the pleasure of invention'? www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/o...

If we fail with Al in education, do other domains even have a chance? Great to see the conversation taking place. We need more studies and more research done to truly understand where humans benefit from Al in the long term.
