🚨 New preprint!
“A Computational Perspective on the No-Strong-Loops Principle in Brain Networks”
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Over the past 3 years, we’ve been investigating why cortical networks avoid strong reciprocal loops — and what this means for computation.

Large-scale maps of altered cortical dynamics in early-stage psychosis are related to GABAergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission

Cortex-wide changes in neural dynamics in early-stage psychosis relate to GABA-A or NMDA receptors and clinical symptoms.

I think Altman assumes that “PhD-level expert” means someone who speaks confidently on everything as opposed to saying “it’s nuanced,” losing their keys, and getting maniacally fixated on their current topic to the point of seeing it in everything.

J. Emory Parker 🏳️‍🌈 @jaspar.bsky.social · Aug 7

“GPT-5 is the first time that it feels like talking to an expert in any topic — a Ph.D.-level expert,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said.

Thanks to Maryada (@giacomoi.bsky.social lab)! Due to component variability it is hard to set the weights across neuromorphic devices. Using our crosshomeostatic learning rule, that governs all four weight classes, we drove neuromorphic RNNs into balanced E/I regimes.
