  1. 🧠📏 We often mistake familiarity for understanding, overestimating how things like #bicycles or logos actually work.

    This "illusion of explanatory depth" hinders #learning and #teaching. By practicing intellectual humility and testing our assumptions through active engagement, we can bridge the gap between what we think we know and true comprehension.

  2. A study of two groups with a total of over 25,000 people identified a genetic score associated with handgrip strength, and found that score to be associated with slower cognitive decline and to increase the predictivity of a genetic score for Alzheimer's disease.

    Ya think?

    He is rather the textbook/poster child for more #cognitive disorders and #psychopathology than most of us have ever seen before, ever ... "by a lot!"

    Will spare a deep dive on #cognition and #dementia, be it genetic or 'other', but noting the 'baseline', whatever it has been for this "stable genius", does seem to be eroding, bigly and quickly, in a very dangerous and malevolent turn...

  10. 🧠 New preprint by Lu et al: Recordings from the human #hippocampus and anterior cingulate #cortex during three distinct tasks reveal that #NeuralPopulation activity is not fully task-specific. About half of the low-dimensional #NeuralSubspace structure was shared across tasks, suggesting a stable population geometry that may support flexible #cognition across different #behaviors.

  20. The Guardian: Richard Dawkins concludes AI is conscious, even if it doesn’t know it. “Dawkins isn’t the first, but might be the most eminent person yet, to be seduced into believing an AI is somehow alive. Sceptics rushed to pick apart the 85-year-old’s conclusions, drawn from experiments with Anthropic’s Claude AI models and OpenAI’s ChatGPT and published on the UnHerd website.”

  21. Aston University: From teddies to tablets: new global research reveals that digital devices are being used to comfort babies and parents . “Despite recent government guidelines that parents should avoid screen time for babies under the age of two, a new global study finds that one in ten babies now regularly fall asleep with a screen.”
