Beautiful visual representation of a Fourier transform.

We are delighted to share that our paper, a joint work with the brilliant @ShohamAdva , @rotembroday, Galit Yovel and Itay Yaron from @TelAvivUni has now been published in Communication Biology https://t.co/v5V0vkUIgy

@SussilloDavid In this perspective https://t.co/RWeBQDLc83, we argue that brain-machine convergent evolution — not only with ANNs but also with successful engineered systems — can be a powerful tool for elucidating the functional role of well-known cortical selectivities.

Excited to see this in press @PNASNews ! with the amazing @MalachLab @ShanyGrossman. we illustrate the potential usefulness of finding convergent evolution between brain and engineered systems ,highlighting an intriguing parallel between entorhinal grid cells and JPEG lossy comp

[Rafael Malach Lab @MalachLab]

Artificial systems are so different from the brain — can they be informative about brain function?
In our perspective with @SimonyErez and @ShanyGrossman, now in PNAS (https://t.co/jLoX34L8rT), we borrow the concept of convergent evolution and argue that, paradoxically, (1/4)

Happy to see this work led by @zaidzada_ now published in @NeuroCellPress! We use LLM embeddings to capture word-by-word linguistic content transmitted from the speaker's brain to the listener's brain in real-time, face-to-face conversations: https://t.co/nexZ7RirQi

Why do we get certain diseases whereas others do not exist?
This new book builds a foundation for systems medicine. Starting from basic laws, it derives why hormone, immune and aging circuits are built the way the are, culminating in a periodic table of diseases.

Wow. 🤯 MUST WATCH

Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of co-founder of Hamas details his growing up in Hamas, their brutality and Hamas being the single biggest enemy of Free Palestinians.

It’s not a short video, but one that everyone should watch. This is Rachel Goldberg, the mother of Hersh Goldberg Polin, one of the hostages held in Gaza. What a powerful speech. What a powerful woman

[Oren Schuldiner's Lab @lab_oren]

Out of the shelter (again). I find it outstanding that @nature, @Nancy_Kanwisher and a long list of signators find @eLife's removal of Eisen disturbing. I am writing this because this saga should not end by him appearing as the victim.

Hands down the best question of PMQs today.

[Weizmann Institute @WeizmannScience]

“Today, we urge each and every one of you to stand with us against terrorism. Just as we seek truth and understanding in science, so too must we seek truth in the world we inhabit. The power of the scientific community is immense, and our voices can resonate far beyond the walls of our laboratories.
The recent events have shaken us to the core. But they have also reminded us of the importance of our collective power and action, and the impact we can have on the world. We must recognize that, as scientists, our words carry weight and our public statements have the power to influence opinions, policies, and, ultimately, the course of history.
In the face of darkness, let our voices be the guiding light.”
This letter, titled “Standing Together Against Terror and Violence”, was sent today from the Weizmann Institute of Science Management to the international science community. Full letter here >> https://t.co/FkrSUzDpOU
