» But to what extent & at what scales
brain dynamics & function depend on the specific details of their nodes & edges

&, on the other hand,

to what extent
simple network structure retains sufficient information to account for brain structure, dynamics, & function

are not yet totally clear questions «

Does the brain behave like a (complex) network? I. Dynamics

By ironical serendiripy, drift, change, synchronicity, or else:

Two new papers with thoughtful #NetworkNeuroscience critique!

» Beyond Networks:
Explaining Dynamics in the Natural and Social Sciences «
@yoginho et al.
https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/htc78

» Circular and unified analysis in network neuroscience «
Mika Rubinov
https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.79559

With different framework approaches, conclusions, while complimentary & so needed!

» #neuroscience has become so broad & technically sophisticated that individual researchers can no longer fully understand the technical foundations of their experiments.

The average #systemsneuroscience project, for example, requires in-depth knowledge of animal #surgery #mechanical #optical & #electrical #engineering #statistics and #computerscience «

Professor @melaniemitchell gives 2023 #MargaretBoden Lecture:

”the inability to form conceptual abstraction —and to make abstraction-driven analogies— is a primary source of brittleness and unreliability in #sota #AI”

”I think the the problem that AI has faced at least up till recently is that it has relied on #statistical associations rather than forming concepts”

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
