Are the laws of thought woven from three golden threads?
Tom @cocosci_lab and I discuss some of the history and themes in logic, probability, and neural nets, in his new book The Laws of Thought.

Do neuroscientists know what "affordance" actually means?

Wild and free in Estonia, @jaaanaru connects the details with the big picture, like dendrites, thalamocortical loops, consciousness, and insight.
AI has none of the above (including being wild and free)

You're always thinking, unconsciously interrogating the world.
When an affordance is available to report answers to your brain's questions - to yourself or others - you become conscious of those thoughts.
Rough summary of @shadlen on consciousness...

"Put your math where your metaphor is", Alex might say (if he takes my suggestion).
He's already putting his money where his mouth is, working toward mathematical laws to capture the structure of consciousness (via integrated information theory for now)

Are manifolds real?
Are latent circuits real?
Tatiana @EngelTatiana uses one, infers the other, and says yes to both.
Also, how timescales are different and the same across the entire brain, and why that's so cool...

Henk de Regt's "Understanding Scientific Understanding" (2017) elevated the philosophy of understanding, distinct from what it means to explain something.
We discuss where his ideas have taken him since, like how to assess machine understanding.

I had SO much fun talking to Paul for almost 2 hours about my new book on Schrödinger & molecular biology. Easily one of the most enjoyable podcasts I've ever done. Check it out!
P.S. CUP has made the PDF of my book free to download for two more weeks. Link is in my pinned post

What Is Life? A misleading title for Schrödinger's book. What is Life? Revisited. A spot-on title for Dan's @NicholsonHPBio book, which happens to be a gem. After reading and discussing it, I can only picture Schrödinger as a cartoon villain now. braininspired.co/podcast/224/

The next reading discussion is going to be a classic and particularly fun.
Don't know the date yet.

I'm starting a discussion group to explore how foundational ideas in complexity science can help us think about - and better explain - minds and brains (natural and artificial). Details and option to sign up: braininspired.co/complexity-gro…

Niko @niko_kukushkin takes us on an evolutionary tour from molecules to minds. Nature is rife with meaning at all scales, to be found in the essences of interacting atoms, cells, species, and societies.

100% - it's a fantastic group of folks diving deep into "complex" waters. I join whenever I can!
