Thrilled to share that my PhD advisor, Larry Abbott, and pioneers Terry Sejnowski Terrence Sejnowski & Haim Sompolinsky Haim Sompolinsky clinched the prestigious Brain Prize for their groundbreaking work in computational and theoretical neuroscience.
🤘🤓🤘

This honor is a watershed

Blog post!!
Rumors of the death of RNNs have been largely exaggerated...
In this post I summarize why and how RNNs are making a comeback in ML, and what this means for theorists of neural comps.
Many thanks to Nicolas Zucchet for help and corrections!

BREAKING: You can actually get the Allen Institute to perform cutting-edge neuroscience experiments to test your ideas on how the brain work for free. Deadline is September 12th to submit your experiments. Please wake up to how amazing that is. alleninstitute.org/division/neura…

We are releasing a whole-brain connectome of the fruit fly, including ~130k annotated neurons and tens of millions of typed synapses!

Genot Centre was influential in my music tastes when {arsonist} was just coming to fruition. They embodied a particular post-club + computer music crossover that will always be sentimental for me. Ondřej and Wim supported my own music early on. Thanks for everything friends🙏🌹

Does everyone else have 2-5 storage bins containing every t-shirt that you’ve ever been given as part of any past academic/professional/athletic/musical/organizational affiliation that you wear once each per year max out of nostalgia and guilt or is that just me?

Have to agree with Blake here and it’s interesting to me that I’m also seeing agreement from many prominent researchers who lean “computational neuroscience” vs more general DL/AI (if we can draw such a crude distinction)

A lesson that I continually relearn — the things that are pedestrian to you are not necessarily that way for others. If you’ve invested deeply in a(n) artistic/musical/algorithmic/academic niche, what seems obvious/overplayed to you can be deeply valuable to a different audience

Today we're kicking off the third Summer of Math Exposition, SoME3. It's an event to encourage more people to create online math explanations, with prizes and a chance to have your work surfaced to a larger audience.

It’s our collective moral duty to get the new EPROM live set into the largest US stadium. An absolutely unreal production feat

Officially entered the era where I’m really into IDing landscaping plants

Portland! I’ll be playing at holocene TOMORROW with CRYSTAL QUARTEZ and {dr. arsonist}, PhD. Please join us, it’ll be fantastic!

PDX: My next live set is tomorrow Sun 4/2 at holocene supporting Cruel Diagonals amazing new album release! Come thru if u love ambient experiments 🔊🎛️

The archive of my live set for Chromasy's monthly on RTM.fm is up: rtm.fm/listen/chromas…

Lots of high bpm drum programming in this 1, since Chromasy is an IDM & computer music connoisseur.
S/O to the great set by Αllis. Also ft. shredders Oh Mr James & Simona Zamboli
