"The moment is not properly an atom of time but an atom of eternity. It is the first reflection of eternity in time, its first attempt, as it were, at stopping time."

#introduction
I'm a theoretical neuroscientist in Paris.

These days I'm working on biophysics of action potentials (particularly the initial segment) and on integrative modeling of Paramecium, the “swimming neuron” (this is a unicellular protist that changes swimming direction with action potentials).

I also spend some time thinking about the relations between theoretical biology and theoretical neuroscience, ideas about life and ideas about brains.

I made my first filter! I kept getting confused about cross-posted retweets from Twitter, was thinking the retweeter was the original poster. Here is the filter I made, seems to work so far!

RT @andpru@twitter.com

We have positions, lots of opportunities at @wusmsl@twitter.com: computation, behavior, fMRI, electrophysiology, microscopy and often a mix of approaches -- all about arm/hand motor control and motor learning. Plus you help make the reading list! Please RT/share. twitter.com/paulgribble/status

Hi everyone, new to Mastodon today and seeing what it's all about. I'm a psychologist who studies empathy, emotion regulation, moral emotions like outrage, and moral judgments. I enjoy interdisciplinary work on this topic and collaborate with philosophers, engineers, more.

Will post about #socialpsych and also my hobbies including #coffee #photography. As a father of four, I'll also reflect on what it's like being an academic dad, of twins too!

Looking forward to connecting for conversation!

Hello everyone
intro

I am a neuroscience enthusiast. I have a background in Electrical engineering before I decided to peruse neural science. Now I am looking forward to a doctoral research after completing my master's degree.

In neuroscience, I believe the articulation of philosophical questions is necessary alongside technological research to make a breakthrough in our understanding of what neurons do, what is computation, what are neural states and so on and so forth.

I am here to connect with people so I may have fresh opinions and ideas about neuroscience, philosophy, psychology and hard questions about life in general.
