Excited to share a new review by @kocherlab.bsky.social and me:
Nature-inspired neuroscience
We discuss diverse sensory systems and behaviors across the animal kingdom and argue for their integration into neuroscience. New tools in diverse systems are making this possible โจ

Excited to share new preprint with @olivia.science and @blokpoel.bsky.social, see below.
This is a brief commentary on Multiple Realisability.
We propose formalisations to assist theoreticians in thinking through how MR applies, at what levels, & how it can guide our modeling.
