I suspect that #intermittentReinforcement is one of the most disastrously exploitable revelations in #neurosciene . It's an eminently reliable formula for cultivating #addiction. We now have entire industries dedicated to exploiting it to the dire detriment of vast swaths of the population.

And nothing is done about it, because the victims are blamed for their own exploitation rather than their enthusiastic exploiters.

Fuck anyone who defends #exploitation like this.

Hi everyone! Already loving it at the #Neuromatch instance and figured it is time for a new #introduction .

I'm a PhD student in Computational Neuroscience in Barcelona and mostly work on distributed working memory and serial dependence. I analyze monkey and human data, hoping to understand more of how neurons guide behavior.

Excited to connect with people here, talk #neurosciene, celebrate everyone's successes and check out all your preprints!

For those of us publishing #science books, how acceptable is it to promote it here? Mine is a general audience book about the #brain #neurosciene where I try to present the brain as a highly intertwined/entangled system.

Dissertation submitted, now time to make a tantalizing PowerPoint to convince a crowd of patch clampers about the virtues of our lord and savior: multi electrode array extracellular recordings.
Any ideas about self deprecating jokes about array recordings to lower their guard in preparation for a bait and switch?

Symmetry as a universal principle - We are aesthetically attracted to symmetry. That is certainly no coincidence. : https://www.vnzn.de/en/2021/08/01/symmetry_and_order/

#introduction

👋 Hello from #Zurich!

I'm a researcher working at the intersection of #neurosciene and #ai. Before joining Google's #connectomics team earlier this year, I did my PhD advised by @jakhmack on simulation-based Inference (#sbi).

Excited to see Mastodon gaining momentum!
