1\ I'm excited that I'll be presenting new work on “Dimensions of Consciousness” for a symposium at #ASSC26 in NYC. The symposium topic is “Mathematical Spaces for Conscious Experiences,” co-organized by @JohannesKleiner and me. I'm looking forward to returning to NYU!

How does our brain come up with new ideas and insights? We propose that insights are unexpected rewards or shortcuts found during mental navigation and correspond to the rapid emergence of new concept fields in the hippocampus.

How can we manipulate our worlds to improve our minds?
If you listen to this week’s episode of “All in the Mind” on @BBCRadio4, you can catch the inimitable @samgilbert1 talking about his work on “cognitive offloading” and metacognitive control.

(1/9) Momentous news today: a clinical trial shows that #Alzheimers drug #lecanemab reduces amyloid in the brain & slows cognitive decline in patients. This breakthrough has been hailed as "the beginning of the end" for Alzheimer’s treatments by Prof John Hardy @UCLIoN @UKDRI 🧵

This is so exciting & an incredible day for Alzheimer’s research. It’s far from perfect - modest effects and risks - so lots to do and research still needed - but after so many failures and controversies it’s nice to feel the buzz of optimism again! https://twitter.com/bbcworld/status/1597839164300578817
1/10) Can we find a label-free model selection algorithm in Self-supervised learning (#SSL) for #vision?
Our #NeurIPS2022 paper, α-ReQ, presents just such an #algorithm based on the structure of #representations in the #neocortex!
This is work w/ Kumar Agrawal (#Berkeley), Arnab Kumar Mondal and Arna Ghosh (#McGill/#Mila). 🧵

We used BARseq in situ sequencing to identify genes in ***1.2 million neurons*** throughout the mouse brain
We found that cortical areas with similar cell types are also interconnected. We call this “wire-by-similarity.”
