As dilettante in neuro, by choice, circumstances faults, consequences, etc.— I always appreciated how you refer yourself as Brain Scientist —instead of Neuroscientist, ea...

@NicoleCRust

Have some links for #complexsystems for #cogsci #neurotheory #brainimaging etc.

Albeit then also going forward to therapeutic interventions?
Quite rare, difficult to qualify & interpret!

Just learned:
''Sham stimulation'
as placebo effect equivalent —inactive, brief, or weak form of directed brainwaves— for:
#tDCS Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
#tACS Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation
#tRNS Transcranial Random Noise Stimulation

Cool #BrainInspired Surprise:

#ContextChangesEverything comes about 25 years after her previous classic #DynamicsInAction

#AliciaJuarrero is a philosopher and has been interested in complexity since before it was cool

@ekmiller

HT for linking this one!

Recalled that other yours multi lab teams efforts, from which learned tons, specifically because of the open review decision section #1 & #2 ;)
https://elifesciences.org/articles/60824

ps: nowadays phd/book worth effort is awaiting to be written on #neurotech #neurohistory evolution in par with #neurotheory #compneuro maths theorems & formulae employ, disregard, re-employ, & on & so forth.
Something like updated 2007 Nicolelis et al. Methods for Neural Ensemble Recordings.

» more theoretical thinking and less (unthinking) #ml or less confusion between #machinelearning and theory

Then #AI can be a useful theoretical tool...

The thesis of #computationalism implies that it is possible in principle to understand human cognition as a form of computation.
However, this does not imply that it is possible in practice to computationally (re)make cognition «

you can fast-read most of it... except for the last three chapters, when starts the proposal of rethinking #neurotheory in regards of #complexsystems & #networkscience ;)

also listen this cool dialogue:

@cian comment in thread reminded me:

@kordinglab recent talks on how #computationalneuroscience #ml methods, while spread across labs & papers, still face #neurotheory proven grounds:

Does the #brain do #gradientDescent ?

#causality for #neuroscience & beyond

ps: IMHO #ml yea: best when for discovery, not causality

@Neurograce

During pandemic's first/second year, on the bird site, I wrote something like:

» New day, new long in the making paper, plus also includes an extra section that proposes a new #neurotheory «

Then
@DrYohanJohn replied something like:

» You must be new in neuro «
And absolutely I was ;)

Hopefully in 2/3 years will be confident enough x such CFP!

My weekend to finish reading @PessoaBrain book that skips the term `conscience` in it —explicitly!?

Then to read their critical review of it —with implicit reasons?!

Here’s my (required?) #introduction - I’m Tim, a #scientist living in #Austria working at the @istaustria near Vienna. I work on #neural_network_dynamics #plasticity #neurotheory. PhD w Larry Abbott at #brandeis and #columbia, postdoc w Wulfram Gerstner at #EPFL, 1st lab at #Oxford for 7 years before moving in 2020. Married to Ms Moon, w/ 3 daughters (a cat). I’ve been 20 years German, 1.5 Greek, 10 American, 4 Suisse, 7 British & 2 Austrian, sorta in that order. I #row #Am_I_doing_it_right?

» Disciplines, we learn, are entangled too.

So, what is the remedy for reductionism?
...
“many relatively simple interacting parts“ exhibit “emergent” behaviors.

Emergence can be invoked as a free miracle, and the misuse of networks lends itself to hairball graphs.

However, @PessoaBrain amalgamation of systems theory, cybernetics, and network science is a necessary step. «
