New paper out today in @CurrentBiology, led by the awesome Jess Williams, showing that the strength of the tilt illusion fluctuates with oscillation phase. We also give an explanation for those puzzling temporally distant phase effects.

Introducing BrainGPT.org, a large language model (LLM) to assist neuroscience research. BrainGPT is trained on the vast neuroscience literature and can be used to optimize study design, detect anomalous results, and evaluate models against broad data patterns. (1/3)
Hard agree. And if VCs really are the go-getting, outside-the-box, big-brains they are paid to be, why do they go all wobbly and limp when asked by their staff to make decisions to protect their students' work? "Sorry, would love to help settle the dispute but they won't let me."
I was recently on a panel with several other professors and we were asked to give some tips to graduate students in machine learning. It got me thinking about why professors are so bad at giving advice. So here are some reasons why you should not take advice from professors.
1/6 What keeps our visual perception stable across sustained time durations, despite a dramatic reduction in neuronal activity?
We are pleased to share our work that has just been published in Cell Reports sciencedirect.com/science/ar… suggesting a plausible answer to this question.
DJ scratching illusion. Move your finger slowly around the striped circle by hovering it just above the screen. You may experience the circle rotating and the spin direction will match the movement of your finger. Does it work for you?
Lets talk about a single texture that's been a huge game changer in the world of gaming.
And the crazy part? You probably haven't even noticed it. This texture is literally EVERYWHERE. And there's something pretty special about it that's made it so popular.

Are neural oscillations an emergent property of the brain? My two cents: sure, but not in the ordinary sense.
When I think of emergence I think of the V-shape in a flock of birds, or life as emerging from matter undergoing biological processes.

I'm really baffled at this urge to reduce complex sociocultural and psychological phenomena (like transgenerational effects of trauma) to some kind of molecular mechanism
Today at 3pm the UK will be testing the emergency alert system on every phone. Please remind your friends and relatives to ensure they are not frightened by the alarm and to give people with hidden emergency phones the opportunity to turn them off before the test is conducted.

Do you know at 3pm on 23rd of April 2023, a UK-wide test of an emergency alert system will take place on EVERY MOBILE PHONE in the country. This loud alarm will sound on your phone and make it vibrate, even if it is switched to silent or notifications are off.
If you are living with domestic abuse and uou have a mobile phone hidden in your house "just in case", please remember to switch it off on Sunday 23rd April 2023.
Your phone must be switched off completely during this time to avoid discovery.
Even if thos post doesn't apply to you, please support/share/repost
You will be connected to someone who is living with domestic abuse right now, even if you think you're not.
Sharing this information could help keep them safe.
I am BACK in @shot_au writing about how conservatives, extremist christians, nazis, proud boys and terfs have all decided to gang up on DRAG QUEENS - and why that's one of the stupidest decisions they could have made, because drag queens are not to be fucked with
"neural networks need to be adversarially robust like the human visual cortex. like you shouldn't be able to change a few pixels and completely change the semantic meaning of an image"
