Nicole Rust’s Elusive Cures shows a rare combined gift of scholarship and unique prose expected from a professional writer. Your brain is better thought of as a complex dynamical system rather than computer, a shift of perspective for mental health care. Empathy pervades the book, A gem of a book.

A landmark Computational Neuroscience book for our times, from basic principles to whole-cortex modelling of cognition, NeuroAI and Computational Psychiatry. This is one of Xiao-Jing's major achievements. Years of dedicated work from a master of the field.

I'm excited to debut my new research program (on the neurosci. of mood) at #Cosyne2025: Fr, poster 2-065 (it'll be yours truly at the poster). There, I'll describe a new approach to the big challenge of emotion that XJ Wang describes in his new book, Theoretical Neuroscience. As a preview .. /1

Theory and computational modeling of the emotional brain face the problem that, unlike perception for which inputs can be measured and varied experimentally in psychophysics, feelings are essentially internal body states (e.g., tranquil or agitated, pleasant or unpleasant), which are difficult to quantify and parametrically manipulate. Theorizing is futile without quantification of observed phenomena and testing predictions in controlled conditions.

As our community increasingly shifts toward embracing the complexity of the brain, this new book by Xiao-Jing Wang will be an essential go-to. He is among a small, prescient group that embraced important ideas before the rest of us. Here he unpacks them. 1/2 www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/1...

The unparalleled XJ Wang has written a book about the computations underlying cognition. I read a draft version and it is awesome. He is not on social media, so I am sharing it on his behalf :)
