I think the Nazi submarine at science and industry museum is extraordinary, as is pequod's pizza.

Excited to read this paper but you should really clamp down on this undecorous emotion in your lab meeting.

I am not sure how far this goes back in Earl's thinking. For my own part I legit expected Earl's early experiments to find grandmother cells for task set variables in pfc (maybe based on my own shallow reading of eg miller & cohen) and was surprised when he found mixed codes instead.

To be fair, Earl was probably fifteen years ahead of this becoming a commonplace idea in deep networks (which arguably happened only quite recently with the ideas about superposition in LLMs)

New paper with @nathanieldaw.bsky.social in Nature Communications: an RL model that builds a successor map compositionally. The new model plans as well as the best models, and it links components of the map used for planning to neural codes in the medial entorhinal cortex.

Have you considered that maybe your problem is that you are talking to physicists?

We @smfleming.bsky.social, Marion Rouault and @seowxft.bsky.social and I) have posted a reply osf.io/preprints/ps... to a preprint that recently raised concerns about the validity of associations between mental health and metacognition from online studies. I hope you can take the time to read it.

Also I constantly remind my coauthors that it is easily verified that ~nobody expands the thread so the first tweet & link are the whole game. Write a good tweet, leading to a good abstract leading to a good paper. Spare me the emojis.
