Scientist. Humanist. Never underestimate the difficulty of changing false beliefs by facts. - Henry Rosovsky

Instead of "encoding," one should say "coordinating."
Instead of "processing," one should say "resonating."
Instead of "representing," one should say "embodying."

A Perspective in @NatRevNeurosci focuses on neural resonance theory in music, which summarizes how the dynamics of fundamental neural mechanisms can explain various aspects of music perception and performance. https://t.co/kRm4R1smxG 🔒

An absolute intellectual giant who profoundly influenced my own intellectual development. RIP Michael Turvey. His 2018 book will, I suspect, become a landmark publication in cognitive science: https://t.co/hf4EXawL4f

@sebatlab If by "outcomes," you mean ontogenetic outcomes, then see Gottlieb's probabilistic epigensis framework: https://t.co/9KwOu8yULD

@kareem_carr Yep. See Lauren A. Rivera's book that describes the pipeline from ivy-league universities to coveted consulting companies (e.g., McKinsey, BCG, etc.). Absolutely eye-opening: https://t.co/UVMKxcvtyb

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

This is a wild, hopeful story: grad students at @Northeastern successfully pushed back against digital workplace surveillance, through fearless solidarity and the bright light of publicity. It's a tale of hand-to-hand, victorious combat with the #ShittyTechnologyAdoptionCurve. 1/

@MarieCoppola68 @ev_fedorenko @deanna_gagne @madquam @TheBUCLD Thanks for replying. Very interesting.

[SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems @DynamicsSIAM]

For those of you who want to learn about things like slow–fast dynamical systems, and piecewise-smooth dynamical systems (and there are some very cool things that can occur in them), I recommend the following books:

(1/n)

[SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems @DynamicsSIAM]

"Novel slow-fast behaviour in an oscillator driven by a frequency-switching force" (by Carles Bonet, Mike R. Jeffrey, Pau Martín, Josep M. Olm): https://t.co/aTL1HHx1ln

@ev_fedorenko Not just ToM -- also numerical cognition. See @MarieCoppola68 et al.'s fascinating work with homesigners and numerical quantity: https://t.co/44W1A9V94R

[Andrew D Wilson is now @adw.bsky.social @PsychScientists]

Absolutely fascinating: purely embodied dynamics can get you a long way in terms of behavioural complexity and adaptive mess (if not far in terms of size)

Taken from @ylecun's keynote talk on David Wessel's vision for computer music and neural networks: https://t.co/Vp1Sm7KqiC

[Free Recall @freerecall]

The moment when you serendipitously discover that @ylecun is a deep synth nerd--he has been hacking and performing with analog synthesizer since his teens--when googling about David Wessel. The world really is a small place.

Michaels & Carello (1981): on the radio and computer metaphors of ecological psychology and cognitive psychology, respectively, for perceiving and knowing in neurobiological systems.

@WiringTheBrain @PsychScientists @mljanderson @BarefootAthlete @PessoaBrain @tonychemero If you're going to read one book this year, please read Turvey's 2019 book. It discusses many things that interest you -- complex systems, evo-dev, and, of course, direct perception: https://t.co/Q99ElTrKDl

@neuropoetic @WiringTheBrain This looks great, and it seems to support behavioral work demonstrating that the addition of external noise facilitates skill acquisition. See Dagmar Sternad's work: https://t.co/FsG8T9CMtd
