In our recent #JournalClub, I presented Genkin et al. (2025), who decode #DecisionMaking in the #PremotorCortex of #macaques as low-dimensional #latent #dynamics shared across #NeuralPopulations. Their generative model links tuning curves, spike-time variability, and stimulus-dependent potential landscapes to a common internal decision variable. I summarized and discussed their findings in this blog post:

Imagine being a brilliant physicist/mathematician and still avoiding the most important problems because your career depends on publishing frequent papers, not solving the biggest mysteries in the world.

That's why you can't do things like this in academia.

The #dynamics of #crowds

A shame this is such a poor article and ignores observations, modelling and practice around other ‘crowd’ deaths - (regular Mecca carnage as an example. As a practicing (lots of work to do) applied mathematician it is a fascinating subject, but “Helping people feel joy, bringing communities together, creating space for culture, that’s what festivals are really about. Let’s not lose sight of what we’re there for.” Is a cop out for the incompetent

Meta-Logic I: Principle of Intrinsic Coherence (Universal Self-Consistency). This principle asserts an absolute, inherent tendency and constraint within #autaxys that mandates the formation and persistence of #patterns that are internally self-consistent and mutually compatible in their relational #dynamics. #Autaxys cannot generate or sustain true logical or ontological contradictions.

There is even room left for #childcare (from 8:30 to 17:00)!

The full program is available online with a great line up of speakers (@TanjaStadler, @chaoranchen, @firefoxx66, @famulare, ,...).
