Teaching is fundamentally upside-down. Ensuring *everyone* succeeds should be the foundation - but it's not! https://t.co/XgATQH65vT via @teacherhead

Even when the brain is “at rest,” it is not silent.

A new Nature paper suggests that spontaneous brain activity may reflect a critically initialized neural network: stable, but close to the edge of instability.

Why is AI translation considered "good enough" when the person on the receiving end speaks another language, but it would never be considered good enough for you?

In this May article, Carol Velandia breaks down why language access is a fundamental civil right that cannot be outsourced to an algorithm.

How the Unconscious Blocks Distressing Language. Your conscious intuition says you can’t ignore a negative comment—but your nonconscious mind says otherwise.
A new study in Psychological Science reveals that when we are focused on a task, our brains actively filter out and suppress negative spoken words before they ever reach conscious awareness.
Rather than letting threatening language hijack our attention, the brain acts as an automated "cognitive gatekeeper," shielding our limited mental resources from costly, distressing distractions. Interestingly, researchers hypothesize this protective filter might break down in clinical populations dealing with anxiety or PTSD. https://t.co/tInX0NaGST https://t.co/NZIkK3U5jh

Revitalizing Indigenous languages that have little or no digital presence is extremely difficult, and training Large Language Models typically requires way more data than is available for Indigenous languages. Now community members have found a way around this problem.
