"We borrow Plato’s famous allegory of the cave to introduce the predictive coding framework. Plato describes a group of prisoners who have spent their entire lives chained to the wall of a cave...

[Eda Gul Karaca @edagulkaracamd]

Under predictive coding theory, the mind, like Plato’s prisoners, is cast as secluded from the external, physical world and must, therefore, rely on streams of ambiguous sensory signals (in the form of electrical signals) to build a mental representation of the world..."

We began our journey studying twins to understand what makes them different, and along the way, we became soul twins—exploring what made us so alike. Your undeniable sparkle has always amazed me. Congratulations, Dr. Didenur, on defending your thesis!

My officemate got me this because I’ve been failing to keep the plants on my desk alive for two years of my PhD... Just like my motivation. 🌱💀🌸
So, we've decided to keep things artificial in every way possible. Artificial intelligence, artificial motivation, artificial plants.

If you're talking about one neuron, that's neuroscience, but if you're talking about two neurons.. Well that's psychology.

"Don't forget whatever you see, it's an illusion. Your mind and brain are in collusion. A depicted fiction, some reality, some prediction. So don't believe everything with such conviction. There's always room for some confusion inside, contusion aside." Marta Kutas

[Eda Gul Karaca @edagulkaracamd]

Carefully listened to this talk and made sure to note down the jokes for future use. When I grow up, I want to be Marta Kutas.
