Why do we forget our dreams? Dreams are the kind of experiences that in principle should stick well in memory: emotional and often bizarre. If we would encounter typical dream content during wakefulness, we would likely never forget it. Yet, we forget most dreams soon after awakening. (1/3)

Freeman Dyson writes about having Hans Bethe as a thesis advisor. Uncovering the nature of the universe is impressive and all, but being the platonic ideal of a mentor on top of that? Good lord

Neuromatch has been denied our Office of Foreign Assets Control "Iran license" renewal. We had renewed successfully before, but now our request is “inconsistent with current U.S. foreign policy.” I am absolutely gutted by this denial.

We have difficult news to share. Neuromatch's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) license renewal, which has allowed us to include participants residing in Iran since 2020, has been denied by the United States Government.

Neuroscience is a global endeavor whose main promise is curing the many brain related diseases. Global collaboration is the key to that. I am so sad that our Iranian friends will, once again, be excluded.
