Something is emerging in Santiago this July. A new kind of scientific gathering. Open data. Interdisciplinary teams. A shared question that's been challenging researchers for decades. Introducing Consciousness Commons: A satellite workshop for early-career researchers @assc2026

@juggleronaroof @spiridigliozzi @OopsGuess Love it:) thanks for writing what I exactly wanted to say

[Ido Aizenbud @IdoAizenbud]

Human cortical pyramidal neurons are larger, exhibit more complex branching patterns, and feature distinctly nonlinear biophysical properties compared to rat cortical pyramidal neurons.

Do these unique characteristics make human neurons more functionally complex?
Would that enhance the capability of the human brain to perform complex computational tasks?
Is this what makes us human?

In our new preprint (see below) with @danielayoeli, @DavidBeniaguev, Christiaan de Kock, @mikilon, and @Segev_Lab we use deep learning to tackle these questions by comparing the complexity of neurons’ input-output (I/O) functions using our newly developed Functional Complexity Index (FCI) tool.

Like most people I have no idea where my ancestors lived 3,000, 1,000, or even 500 years ago. I do know that if it was established that these ancestors were born and bred in Portugal, Yemen, Sri Lanka, or Kyrgyzstan I wouldn’t make the absurd claim that I am indigenous to that country and additionally insist that I have a greater right to be there than its present inhabitants.

@JustinTrudeau So the people of Amsterdam should allow the fascist supporters of an Israeli soccer team accompanied by Mossad agents to attack them, destroy their property and chant genocidal slogans in the streets without fighting back?

“Palestinian Genocide”
“Let Gaza Babies Live”

Football fans showing the world how powerful fan led action can be.

Chevk oyt these cool results on iconic memory:)

[Karla Matić @kmatic94]

New priprint!
When I started my PhD (ages ago), I ran what I thought was a pilot for several iconic memory experiments down the line. This was interesting because iconic memory is (allegedly) linked to rich perceptual experience, and so I had many questions. 1/🧵
