Great new #EEG study out of the Hansen lab at Colgate

Brain-augmented #AI reveals the neural dynamics behind perception: “The brain is dynamically adjusting its internal code in real time to find a solution that best supports the behavioral goal of the observer.”

I often say the field tries / wants to simplify too quickly when it comes to the brain and #AI / #ML is a great example of this. Before we can use a nifty wearable we need the more robust model to scale down from in terms of channels and data quality… otherwise how will the models learn? More soon..

Wait, you’re saying they blundered the implementation of their terrible idea? Shocked! I miss competent government and people actually acting in good faith to serve the public.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · Jul 10

The NIH has terminated hundreds of diversity grants awarded to young researchers, many of whom come from the very places that supported Trump. “People on the right, they don’t realize they’re limiting the opportunity of their own kids by supporting this.” nyti.ms/4lMDXtN

Even if this is eventually overturned, it’s important that someone is calling it what it is.. disenfranchising marginalized groups and saying “we don’t care if you die”

Nature @nature.com · Jun 16

A US judge has ordered hundreds of terminated research projects at the US National Institutes of Health to be reinstated, calling the processes that led to their cancellation “bereft of reasoning”.

https://go.nature.com/4kOmXDy

Judge rules against NIH grant cuts — and calls them discriminatory

The decision means that the US biomedical agency has to restore funding to hundreds of research projects, but the government will likely appeal.
