An absolute joy to see these years of hard work made public, complete with Simpsons GIFs!

The brain is built on a principle of division of labour, where anatomically distinct regions perform specialised tasks. But how are messages sent round the brain allowing regions to communicate? Read on and see our preprint to find out the answer! https://t.co/ryZU4DBUz0

How do animals learn from naïve to expert? What role does dopamine play? Find out in our new paper by @LiebanaSamuel @aeronlaffere @toschi_chiara , Louisa Schilling, Jacek Podlaski, @matfritsche, Peter Zatka-Haas, @yulonglilab, Rafal Bogacz, @SaxeLab https://t.co/rrRpUKfobs (1/5)

Absolutely over the moon to see this finally out, big thanks to the reviewers and to the team for dragging it kicking and screaming over the line

I found myself looking into pro-Azerbaijani accounts that trawl Karabakh Armenians’ social media accounts looking for posts of them with food to disprove the fact of the blockade. This piece for @evn_report came out of that bizarre experience

At the end of our Introduction to Deep Reinforcement Learning cohort, you'll be able to build your DQN algorithm from scratch

We've made our version of DQN open to play Pong against.

See if you can beat it👇

I got curious about why people believe we have learning styles - an idea with no real basis

Despite the lack of evidence, ~90% of educators believe in them.

Here's my answer as to why the idea spreads 👇

The #claustrum (CLA) is connected with many brain areas BUT we don’t know all the connectivity rules for single neurons at the functional level. We found that CLA INTEGRATES.

Check out this 5 minute single-shot continuous take of projects happening on the microscopes in our lab! We had fun making this and hope you enjoy the informal cheesiness in only our second take. Highlighting projects by @sarmstg @robmlees @HuriyeAtilgan

After a lot of work, we have finished the implementation of PEP 657 🚀🎉. In Python 3.11🐍, tracebacks will annotate where exactly the error is happening in your code 🤯. No more confusion having to guess what part of the expression is wrong. Learn more at https://t.co/bCbXYp5rN7

What do a woman in 1950s Spain experiencing phantom sensations of hot & cold, some people in Japan who fell ill after eating angel’s wing mushrooms, and a COVID patient in 2020 have in common? See our latest preprint https://t.co/FbtFdwnMVj and👇to find out!
