Super entertaining and informative(^^) , especially on Diogo's take on common hatred towards LLMs > [...] we don't hate technology, we just hate when it's bad for us typesafe.ai/blog/ai-too-...

AI neurons run on simple math. Real neurons are far weirder. A new open dataset fitted 1,000+ PyTorch-ready neuron models to real mouse and human cells. Does brain-like diversity make AI better? It's still an open question, but now it's testable. https://bit.ly/3WfGAwR
New preprint out from my time at Omnibio, in joint work with Robert Clarke (University of Bath). We introduced Weighted Stochastic Block Model mechanism to Echo State Network and investigated its coupled dynamics in Reinforcement Learning environments. arxiv.org/abs/2610.15380

Writing something up, and reading this + re-reading Mensh & @kordinglab.bsky.social's: journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... The new paper has steps to follow, helps my ADD brain. The older paper helps me keep my eyes on the prize. I feel like many researchers need these, like, now more than ever
Newly expanded version of my guide to scientific writing -- known as the “15 steps” -- published in PLOS Computational Biology. Special thanks to Éric Marty for creating a fantastic visualization. Check it out: journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... #ScientificWriting #PLOSComputationalBiology

Which is also why I made this figure for this relevant paper (tiny btw only like 2 pages). Guest, O., Blokpoel, M.& van Rooij, I. (2026). What the Func? Multiple Realizability Need not be Vague. Zenodo. doi.org/10.5281/zeno... 2/2
We propose 4 different notions of ‘function’ and formalise each. 1. Functional capacity 2. Functional theory 3. Functional goal 4. Functional role --- Preprint: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... 4/🧵

1/2) Please let's all remember that GWT is a theoy of access consciousness (what is available for verbal reasoning) and not phenomenal consciousness (subjective experience): philpapers.org/rec/BLOOAC Obviously, in this study access consciousness is literally what they test in the LLMs. #NeuroAI 🧪

“under any single goal, the human connectome is suboptimal. Instead, its organization reflects multi-objective trade-offs navigated over evolution and development under biological and environmental constraints” Not just connectome…

@hendrik-erz.de I don't know why but "science™️" cracked me up =))))
www.neuroai.science/p/claude-cod... Why yes this is very helpful for me as an undergrad. I like the way the methods that Patrick laid, how to aid research using AI and its pros vs cons
I wrote a blog post in memorial of David C. Marr, a neuroscientist of previous century on the topic of Marr's Tri-level Analysis, its revised form and the birth of Mechanistic Interpretability. sabertoaster.github.io/blog/2026/in...

Interested in the latest advances in neuroscience (neural dynamics and internal models) and how they can be leveraged to build smarter, adaptive AI? ➡️ My first real solo piece 🖤🫶 @natneuro.nature.com rdcu.be/eWVmA

This point by @earlkmiller.bsky.social is very much obvious from a mainstream deep learning perspective. Why would neurons specialize?
