  1. It's kind of tempting to dump #QuantumComputing and go study #consciousness, #cognitiveScience or #neuroscience. It's not that I believe I have anything to contribute, let alone that I think the current generation of research is wrong. I'm just curious about what's truly known and what isn't.

  2. Using #fNIRS #hyperscanning, Li et al. (2025) show that when individuals from different backgrounds engage in real-world problem solving, inter-brain synchronization (IBS) increases in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a region linked to executive function.
    Their findings offer a valuable lens on cross-functional teams, innovation processes, and how we design collaborative environments.

  6. Last was "One Hand Clapping" by Nikolay Kukushkin, which is best described as two introductory popular science books smashed together, with little collective tissue between the two parts.

The second is a decent but not particularly insightful entry level tour to cognition.
