A new resource from the inimitable Alexis Pietak (allencenter.tufts.edu/our-team): "Calculion" -
calculion.streamlit.app/
for calculating cell bioelectric states. Much more realistic (accurate) than typical Goldman equation simulators online.

Humans fundamentally run on electricity - bioelectricity. Can transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) upgrade our reactions and focus?

Bright sparks: could bioelectricity make us smarter and healthier?
> Electricity is involved in every aspect of life. But could the new science of help cure diseases and ‘upgrade’ humans?

Looking back on my 2022 science content highlights, this episode of the Lex Fridman podcast ft. @drmichaellevin deserves a top spot.

Lots of inspiring perspectives on how biological systems are organized, and how to use top-down approaches based on rather than gene editing to engineer them. Highly recommended! Should be on all common podcast platforms.

New modeling paper, Javier Cervera, Jose Manzannares, Salvador Mafe, and I. reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/
"Transplantation of fragments from different planaria: A bioelectrical model
for head regeneration"

Predicts interesting effect for transplantation of *pattern memories" across animals. We're testing it now.

Hello Mastodon Massive-

I have finally got round to a belated introduction! I am Principal Scientist in a northern researching properties in self-assembling soft matter systems

Outside of this I am fascinated by /Ads=CFT and so am inspired by @drmichaellevin, Nima Arkani-Hamed, Roger Penrose, @gmusser

I am really stoked that these p2p technologies are breaking through - Mastodon has arrived and is taking off - as I think this new paradigm will bring forth the best from us - thank you all

RT @manoj_333@twitter.com

@sciliz@twitter.com Brains are about "electrical thinking" supplementing "chemical thinking." There is an energy cost to brains. When an organism has to respond on short timescales, e.g. when the environment is rapidly changing as in when you locomote, the benefit outweighs the cost.
