Alpha and Beta Frequency Modulations in Motion Prediction Reveal Mechanisms of Predictive Coding in Perception

Abstract. Perception is an active process guided by prior knowledge and expectations, allowing the brain to optimize sensory processing and reduce uncertainty. Although modulations in alpha (7–13 Hz) ...

It is beyond the time point where people can claim ignorance of Musk’s behaviors. Anyone who uses his products, purchases anything from him is making a moral or ethical decision on where they stand on issues of neo Nazism, racism and fascism.

Elon Musk is a neo-Nazi, but most of the political and media establishment give him a pass—and continue to use his propaganda website. Incredible piece from @jamellebouie.net with the receipts.

Dips in Development: Learning to Walk Temporarily Disrupts Infant Vocalization

Infant development is a dynamic, cross-domain process. Infants acquire new skills, integrate them with well-established behaviors, and do so simultaneously. New skills can bolster development of exis...

How can we protect academic freedom against growing attacks? A new position paper issued by a DFG Senate working group outlines how the resilience of research and the research ecosystem can be strengthened – and how policymakers, industry and society at large can contribute: sohub.io/aziq

EXCELLENT: The Netherlands new OA policy seems to be well thought through obc.copim.pub/when-scaling... Policy explicitly recommends redirection & reallocation of funds from existing ‘big deal’ budgets towards community-driven alternatives, incl university-led diamond OA & Netherlands Uni Presses

When 'scaling small' becomes national policy

The Netherlands' new open access strategy echoes the principles the Open Book Collective was built on - 'scaling small' and community-led publishing

Brenda Milner is a hero and 108!! She did a lot more than discover the hippocampus is linked to declarative memory, but that work is the most famous.

Neuroscientist Dr. Brenda Milner is recognized as one of the fundamental founders of modern cognitive neuropsychology. She proved the hippocampus is essential for forming long-term "declarative" memory (facts, names & events). She was born #OTD in 1918--she's 108 years old today! #WomenInSTEM

A color photograph of Dr. Brenda Milner (born 1918), the pioneering British-Canadian founder of cognitive neuropsychology whose landmark work mapped localized memory in the human hippocampus. Seated and facing left, she engages an audience with an expressive, animated posture, both hands raised in gestural emphasis. Her short, silver-gray hair is styled back with soft volume, framing a deeply lined, intent face with a focused expression. She wears a tailored, dark navy and black textured tweed jacket over a simple cream blouse. A multi-strand necklace of dark, polished beads hangs around her neck, and a small, delicate pin is affixed to her left lapel. A flesh-colored over-ear microphone wire curves across her cheek. The dimly lit stage setting shows a blurred equipment in the background under subtle stage lighting, giving the composition a dynamic, scholarly atmosphere that highlights her enduring intellectual passion.

Function is not tied to specific brain structures or time scales. The brain is not just a set of parts that each “do their own job”. Instead, networks are multifunctional and active across different speeds simultaneously. doi.org/10.1073/pnas... #neuroscience

Shared spatial and temporal principles govern connectome dynamics across timescales | PNAS

While the brain processes information at various speeds, little is known about how the functional connectome can concurrently support multiple spee...

Contrast sensitivity is a critical but underused measure of vision, linked to falls and loss of independence in older adults. Using @nhats-nsoc.bsky.social, Shu Yu et al identify a threshold where older adults begin experiencing visual disability—a benchmark for interpreting measures. myumi.ch/NXM3G

A Clinically Relevant Threshold of Impaired Contrast Sensitivity Among Older US Adults

This cohort study aims to identify a contrast sensitivity threshold associated with functional visual disability among Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 years and older in the US.

Good point re social media bans for children: we are unable to properly regulate them or addictive algorithms so we tens to opt for seemingly “easy” but extreme option of total social media ban for children. Are we really unable to force BigTech to accept tougher regulation?
