Very happy that this paper from our lab is now out in @pnas.org! What happens when the *same* person experiences the *same* information with a *different* interpretation? Nearly the whole 🧠—well, at least nearly all association cortex—changes how it represents that information! tinyurl.com/p8chj2j7

Renormalization in the brain? With @andreasantoro.bsky.social and @jesseba.bsky.social we're organizing a workshop at @cosynemeeting.bsky.social (Lisbon, March 16) on how coarse-graining principles from physics can explain neural computation across scales. nplresearch.github.io/neurorenorm2...
🇮🇹 Un articolo di Davide Risso su Wired Italia racconta il nostro lavoro su reti di ingredienti e combinazioni per caratterizzare cucine del mondo: www.wired.it/article/mate... @wired.it @saumitranetsci.bsky.social @andreasantoro.bsky.social
La matematica del sapore, si può indovinare l’origine di una ricetta dalla combinazione dei suoi ingredienti?
Uno studio di migliaia di ricette da tutto il mondo mostra come diverse cucine seguano schemi ricorrenti. E come questi influenzino le nostre preferenze alimentari

New pre-print just dropped, with @doctorjosh.bsky.social, @alicepatania.bsky.social, and Pedro Mediano. In it we ask: when an algebraic topologist and an information theorist talk about "higher-order" structure, are they talking about the same thing? A 🧵1/n arxiv.org/abs/2504.10140
