I'm prepping for @fens.org Forum in Barcelona.
To improve my Spanish I'm reading Hola and watching Almodavar Films which covers a nice spectra.
As for the science I've a poster w Rebecca Brady on our mathematical model of Audio-Visual integration.
On the Comms side I've a poster about Funny Brains.

Another popular version of the predator-prey model could be Project Hail Mary with the astrophage and the taumoeba

Had great fun discussing some recent work and the value of toy models in neuroscience last night!

Our next workshop will be:
* 16.04
* 16-20:30
* At the Crick

@stevenstrogatz.com I was showing my undergraduates your lovely 1988 Romeo & Juliet differential equations paper. Which is an excellent way of demonstrating novel and enjoyable applications of maths.
A possible popular update could changing it to the two protagonists of Heated Rivalry.

The @neuromatch.bsky.social compneuro summer school is excellent.
And I recommend it to anyone interested in maths, neuroscience, modelling and/or machine learning.

I’m a bit late to reading this article by @marcusghosh.bsky.social in the @thetransmitter.bsky.social
I really enjoyed it.
I’m definitely pro toy mathematical models, I believe they can be informative and push research forward.

There is definitely nothing weird about Musk repeating “I’m pro-human”. Some of my best friends are human and I would definitely want AI to keep them in a safe in a future human sanctuary.
Nothing weird at all.

Not just for Paddington: is the humble duffel coat having a fashion moment? Worn by everyone from Tyler, the Creator to Cole Palmer and Joe Wilkinson, duffels are back in demand

Did they mean it is more common in friendly Peruvian bears.
Also I just finished watching Leonard and Hungry Paul.
I found it very faithful to your book so it was a joy to watch.

Thanks James and feel free to use them.
I really enjoy the face recognition one.
All kids should learn how to do dot products and ICA.
I'll be adding accessible code of kids that will link with the leaving cert computer science course over the next while.

Day 1: Predator–Prey Dynamics 🐺🐇

I’ve created five one-hour workshops for primary & secondary students, all free to use, showing how maths helps us understand the world
Each workshop includes:
📊 Slides
📝 Worksheets (short for primary, detailed for secondary)
✅ Full solutions
I’ll share one workshop each #MathsWeek2025 day!

Each year, #mathsweek is a few weeks after the equinox. So, this year some mathematicians were given the job of studying time. They started out by counting seconds. However, they quickly got bored and after 24 hours they called it a day. @diasdunsink.bsky.social

As part of #mathsweek, there is a special Lá na Mata organised in Galway, including @davidstifter.bsky.social, @cathal.bsky.social and others. So, I have a few as Gaeilge maths jokes...

Studying for a geometry exam during #mathsweek? My top tip? Make sure to cover all the angles.

I was hoping you would be jokes posting for maths week.
This has made my day

I've been waiting some years to make this joke and now it’s real:

I conned somebody into giving me a faculty job!

I’m starting as a W1 Tenure-Track Professor at Goethe University Frankfurt in a week (lol), in the Faculty of CS and Math

and I'm recruiting PhD students 🤗

#ComputationalScience should be open to everyone. At Neuromatch, we run global courses with team activities, TAs, learning pods, and projects…but we also share all the learning materials to everyone.

We printed 50+ Eigen-portraits and gave out loads of stickers
Huge thanks to everyone who came by. I really believe @dublinmaker.bsky.social event is a force for good as it celebrates equally all types of making from science, maths, engineering, jewellery making, weaving, robots, art to cosplay!

My 11-year-old and I ran a table at @dublinmaker.bsky.social this weekend, mixing maths, art, neuroscience, and machine learning.
Over 100 people joined us to sketch emotions, act them out, and see their faces transformed into Eigenfaces using maths and computing.

Steve Furber powerpoint slide showing picture of Ada Lovelace and a quote: "I have my hopes, and very distinct ones too, of one day getting cerebral phenomena such that I can put them into mathematical equations--in short, a law or laws for the mutual actions of the molecules of brain. .... I hope to bequeath to the generations a calculus of the nervous system."

incredible Ada Lovelace quote highlighted in a talk by Steve Furber. She spells out the dream of computational neuroscience, 2 centuries ago. The sheer ambition 🤩

I’ve all my regalia ready come along so some sketching, lean some maths get your own eigenface.

Dublin Maker - Know Before You Go YouTube video by Dublin Maker

Dublin Maker is happening this weekend - 30th & 31st of August in Leopardstown Racecourse.

In this video, organiser Amy Hassett shares everything you need to know before you go – from getting here & accessibility to top tips on getting involved.

Check out our new multisensory decision study!
We tackle a decades-old Q: does faster detection of bimodal targets come from a race or co-activation between modalities? And also a vital, orthogonal Q: is it one decision process or two?
A1: co-activation
A2: two!
