The paper shows that high‑gamma field activity and local spiking are distinct. The “hashy” signal often treated as a proxy for spiking is partly generated by other biophysics like dendritic and network‑level currents, not just summed spikes. nature.com/articles/s4158… #neuroscience

@MillerLabMIT wow

@PessoaBrain "... and face the real challenge: uncovering, in concrete detail, how simple parts can give rise to complex wholes." To rephrase, it's saying "it's time to drop the magic word 'emergence' and face the real challenge: understanding emergence."

@PessoaBrain The teaser at beginning of article says "But philosopher John Heil calls this out as an intellectual sleight of hand. “Emergence,” he argues, doesn’t reveal hidden truths—it masks our ignorance, mistaking gaps in explanation for gaps in reality. It’s time to drop the magic word

To be provocative, 𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 might be a sleight of hand if you don't know enough math to understand what it means. There, I said it. iai.tv/articles/emerg…

Wait this is the cover of NN??? What about this: biorxiv.org/content/10.648… Soo revealing about the speed of publishing (not just NN) paper already debunked on biorxiv before it is the cover of NN.

What are the neural correlates of human behavior? Much research has approached versions of this question between individuals but not within individuals. Are results from these 2 approaches similar? No! In over 4000 individuals, the neural correlates of cognitive control diverged between vs. within individuals -- a case of non-ergodicity and Simpson’s paradox. We think that non-ergodicity may be an important principle in human neuroscience. [1/12]
