Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.

First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

Huge thanks to #CRTA #Robotics Centre at @SveucilisteZG for hosting #UK Director for #Technology Chris Jones. Really impressive robots helping humans doing everything from #neurosurgery to persuading kids to exercise. Unfortunately I could take a robot home :(

Large language models change everything for linguistics, starting with Chomsky.

Featuring: LLMs as scientific theories, response to prior takes, "why" questions in language, acquisition... and how the field should have seen this coming.

How does metacognition shape how we search for information? Happy to share our full theory+data paper out now in PsychReview (w/ @smfleming & Peter Dayan @MPICybernetics). We’ve made big chances since the 1st preprint (all new empirical section!) so here’s an updated thread 👇🧵

Frontal neurons fire for particular task states, but seem to remap between tasks. Turns out this remapping reveals a surprising algorithm for abstraction and sequence learning. I’ll discuss this across 2 workshop talks at #cosyne2023 . Come along if you're interested! ... (1/3)

We are pleased to announce the launch of the #OPMCollaboration 🧠

In partnership with @youngepilepsy the project aimed to raise the voices of young people with epilepsy, by co-designing key elements of new brain scanning technology, OPM-MEG.

I am starting my own research group at @TheCrick Institute in London! We will be investigating how neuronal circuits in the brain drive social interactions between animals.

I have an immediate opening for a PhD student, apply by 22 March!

New Preprint! We often learn gradually, but sometimes things occur to us in a flash, aka aha-moment. Why? We explored the comp. mechanisms of spontaneous periods of fast learning & show they arise even in simple NNs.
