#Detroit #Tigers pitcher Valdez says the pitch that struck #Boston batter Trevor Story was "not intentional."

We've all seen MLB pitchers get ejected for a beanball but rarely have we heard the on-field chatter btwn the umpire, player & skipper.

@angelo There were some big egos involved, or more charitably, at some point a formerly spectacularly good scientist stopped receiving actual feedback on the relevance and impact of the work of his lab members, and got detached from reality.

Was all too clear when a in a big neuroscience conference the then mature Blue Brain Project (precursor of the #HBP) got a whole wing of posters, all about circuit anatomy and function of ... made up neurons. I kid you not. Neurons made up from sparse, partial anatomical reconstructions of mammalian cortical neurons, from which their "statistics" got derived to, a la Monte Carlo-like data augmentation, generate a whole bunch of neurons and cortical circuits and simulate them. They called it a cortical column.

At least today such efforts could be guided by the MICrONs project volume and precursor volumes from Clay Reid's lab, and the barrel cortex column from the Helmstaedter lab. Back then it was all very, very speculative.

On the Human Brain Project: "Europe spent €600 million to recreate the human brain in a computer. How did it go?" (2023)

As a neuroscientist, I can't name a single discovery or technology derived from the #HBP. Perhaps I am being unfair because I don't work on the human brain. But I'd have expected far more bang for all that buck.Imagine, if the subject had been a fly or a fish – far more matched to the technological means of 10 years ago and actually useful to advance our understanding of circuit function in health and disease.

I'm early awaiting next Apple Watch to have some kind of hardware utility for people with High Blood Pressure.

Until then, I think I'll be happy with recommending a normal Blood Pressure cuff with batteries and just annotating the values on a spreadsheet.

YHE BP Doctor Fit looks cool, not going to lie, tho.

The Human Brain Project, a billion-dollar endeavour to replicate the human brain in a supercomputer, has been plagued with numerous obstacles and criticisms since its launch in 2013. Despite its goal to advance neuroscience and medicine, the project has failed to live up to its promises. HBP has had to change its direction multiple times over the years, and it's difficult to see what significant contributions it has made to brain research. #HBP #brain #simulation https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/scientists-tried-to-re-create-an-entire-human-brain-in-a-computer-what-happened/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FMind+and+Matter

Pretty even-handed assessment of the success and failure of the EU-funded Human Brain Project, which is ending. Probably the most impressive thing is that, given its troubled inception, it produced some meaningful, if rather ad hoc, brain science. #HBP #brain #simulation #neuroscience

Birds are great outside. You have to have a special kind of patience to have a cockatiel. Thank goodness I'm only visiting. My blood pressure is through the roof.

Surfing the consciousness wave https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/follow-hbp/news/2022/11/09/surfing-consciousness-wave/ Indeed I'm more interested in the subtopic of a visual awareness wave with crossmodal control or modulation or "ignition" of visual qualia (visual experiences, sensations). #HBP #humanbrainproject #neuroscience
