It's kind of scary that AI agents are now also automatically sending out emails “The idea that an agent just emails you seems unlikely to be useful or productive to most scientists.” www.science.org/content/arti...

Exclusive: An AI agent emailed hundreds of researchers for help. It told us why

To get to the bottom of this perplexing behavior, Science interviewed the agent

In particular, it was a new experience to present work not primarily to get people excited about the ideas in the work, but to raise questions like: can these ideas be tested? Does this approach to doing computational neuroscience make sense? etc. We should perhaps do more of this!

We assembled a sounds dataset we think is a real resource for the whole auditory cognition & neuroscience community. Curated from a huge pool of sounds, plus large-scale verbal-identification & familiarity-rating data → rich sound and behavioral norms. Preprint & dataset links below 🧵

This blew my mind. Some of the largest data centers can require up to 5 million gallons of water per day, equivalent to the water use of 50,000 people. Why are we selling out the survival of our planet to enrich a handful of Big Tech CEOs?

How well do classifiers trained on visual activity actually transfer to non-visual reactivation? #Decoding studies often rely on training in one (visual) condition and applying it to another (e.g. rest-reactivation). However: How well does this work? Show us what makes it work and win up to 1000$!

Weaker brain wiring constraints increase multifinality in network outcomes. Specifically, when you weaken the drive to connect neighbours you get more topologically dissimilar networks. Whereas when you weaken the distance penalty, you get connections forming in different places.

How did we test this? Starting with a neonatal seed network, we simulated the formation of new connections using a computational model. We varied the modelling constraints, and tested whether systematic changes in those constraints shift the properties of the resulting networks
