tl;dr Adding dendrites to standard deep learning units helps with continual learning. Dendrites do more than adding capacity or complexity to neuronal computation! Love to work on this type of multidisciplinary work with entertwined Neuro and AI research !

New preprint alert!

“Going Beyond the Point Neuron: Active Dendrites and Sparse Representations for Continual Learning”

Work by Karan Grewal, @jerem_forest, Ben Cohen, and @SubutaiAhmad.

Awards for big ideas going to max 3 people is completely outdated now. Needs to change.

[Kording Lab 🦖 @KordingLab]

For all the folks hoping for optogenetics for chemistry Nobel: whom would you give it to? The folks who made the idea? Who found the molecules? Or the people who popularized them? The Nobel prize is no longer meaningful in the era of large collaborations and specialization.

[Jeremy Forest @jerem_forest]

@KordingLab Interesting ! Although not sure about long term use of something like that ? I mean o2 kills you slowly in real time soooo 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[Jeremy Forest @jerem_forest]

@gershbrain I would say all of them given the right set of inputs although definitely some that are easier to modify than others.

Be a part of the change you wish to see in the world:
Donate to help support the legal expenses of Data Colada.
They're being sued by Prof Gino after posting careful, meticulous blog posts raising concerns about data integrity in 4 papers.
Donate here: https://t.co/vrGIltxGe2

[Brian Nosek (@[email protected]) @BrianNosek]

The @DataColada team has been sued by Francesca Gino for exposing the fraudulent data underlying four of her papers (she claims defamation). The legal defense could get expensive. Please join us in providing financial support for their defense.

@ElDuvelle @BenSaunders Might be a good time to move towards an alternative medium that keeps lots more history though ? e.g. discord or something else.

[Kording Lab 🦖 @KordingLab]

@analog_ashley Also, I think papers simply don’t change games any more. Communities do.

[Jeremy Forest @jerem_forest]

@BWJones @jfadoollab @TMichaelRedmon1 yes ! (tl;dr from experience flee from the midges)

[Ryan Ly @reallyryanly]

Come join me, Oliver Ruebel, @BenDichter , and others as we help disseminate NWB to the broader neuroscience community and help make neurophysiology data more FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable)! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

[Jeremy Forest @jerem_forest]

@neuroclef https://t.co/jViRiXDBi0 :) Still a WIP though :p

[Green New Deal at UC San Diego @ucsdgreennewde1]

These donations are cheap for wildly profitable fossil fuel companies. They purchase influence and create a culture of dependence. If our institution wants to be a global leader in climate justice we need to rethink the dirty money we accept 2/2

[Jeremy Forest @jerem_forest]

@patrickmineault @Mila_Quebec @g_lajoie_ @tyrell_turing congrats !

[Jeremy Forest @jerem_forest]

I'll be in Montreal Sunday 22nd to Friday 28th ! Who will be around ?

[Jeremy Forest @jerem_forest]

@TBBake @ColbyCollege Congrats ! 😀
