Cortical gyrification is increasingly recognized as a key factor contributing to individual variability in brain stimulation outcomes. 👇🧵

In the physical world, almost all information is transmitted through traveling waves -- why should it be any different in your neural network?

Super excited to share recent work with the brilliant @mozesjacobs: "Traveling Waves Integrate Spatial Information Through Time"

In 2 digital field experiments, we found that unfollowing hyperpartisan influencers on Twitter:

-Reduced partisan animosity by 24%—with effects persisting for 6 months!
-Increased satisfaction with Twitter
-Led people to share higher-quality news

✨ El mundo no empeora, ¡mejora! ✨

No es perfecto; ni siquiera un buen lugar. Pero de los escenarios globales que hemos conocido (no imaginado o deseado), este es el mejor.

Nature just published a piece on why probability doesn't exist.
Lee Cronin said many times chemical reactions are not real.
Your genetics professor probably confessed to you before that there are no genes.
Biologists still disagree on whether cell types are even real.
And we already discussed how there is no such thing as aging.

This summarizes one of my favorite parts of doing science - the longer you stare at your cherished concept, the more it disintegrates and becomes non-existent. Seems to be a universal feeling - struggle to describe reality with words and numbers - experienced by many across fields.

I’m in Prague this week. There’s a giant metronome overlooking the city where I’m told there used to be a statue of Staline. The metronome symbolizes democracy, leaning left, then right, then left…
Let’s keep that momentum going, 🇺🇸.

What happens when our stream of consciousness turns inward, towards the body? Our new fMRI study of 536 individuals finds that 'body-wandering' is associated with distinct patterns of brain connectivity, physiology, affect, and mental health: https://t.co/wepZGVCMXl

Sometimes I find myself consoling a despondent student whose experiment has 'failed' because their hypothesis was wrong. No! If the experiment was well-designed, it succeeded regardless of the outcome. Go to the store and get a new hypothesis!

[Sam Gershman @gershbrain]

I'm curious what would happen if we banned possessives when referring to hypotheses in scientific papers. My impression is that scientists are far too personally invested in their hypotheses. When I edit my student's papers, I change 'our hypothesis' to 'a hypothesis'.

Our new theory of consciousness reveals meditation, psychedelics, and the future of AI in a whole new light. Suggests meditation may boost the “general” nature of intelligence.

Especialmente interesante la idea de un incremento de entropía psicológica. Del orden al desorden; de las normas y la educación, a la libertad y la toma de decisiones; de lo potencial, a lo funcional y a la desintegracion. Vease el mismo recorrido al nivel de circuito neuronal.

[Jesús Cabrera-Álvarez @Jescab01_]

El desarrollo físico y psicológico del ser humano, es un viaje con resistencias hacia el incremento de nuestra entropía, la de nuestro entorno y la del universo.

In our latest preprint, we applied tACS over occipitoparietal areas to find that functional connectivity in the precuneus and DMN had decreased afterwards! Check it out! #Neuroscience

Give poor people $1,000 every month, for three years. No strings attached. What will they spend the money on? Huge and rigorous study finds that the biggest increase is in “Supporting Others”: helping family and friends.
