Cosyne 2026 - Cosyne Tutorial: Comparative Analysis of Neural Population Codes
Cosyne 2026 - Cosyne Tutorial: Comparative Analysis of Neural Population Codes YouTube video by Cosyne Talks

Cosyne invited me to give a long tutorial (4 hours!) on methods to quantify differences high-d neural recordings across animals, brain regions, deep neural nets, etc.

The recording is up on youtube. I hope it inspires more research on this fundamental topic!

En 2025, la France a été condamnée pas moins de *quatre* fois pour carences dans l'évaluation du consentement des victimes de violences sexuelles.

Cette condamnation vient alourdir ce triste palmarès.

Sachant qu'ici, en plus, la victime potentielle est devenue... coupable.

Post de BFM : "Des milliers de riches ne payeraient pas d'impôts en France"

Post de BFM : "Des milliers de riches ne payeraient pas d'impôts en France"

Imagine, même BFM est obligé de dire que des milliers d'ultra-riches ne paient pas d'impôt sur le revenu, et en même temps le gouvernement essaie de faire passer en force un budget injuste qui ne prévoit rien pour mettre fin à ce scandale.

France, janvier 2026

I really liked this paper - data supporting super interesting idea that Alzheimer's disease pathology may have evolved as part of an innate immune defense response to microbial infection.

La Constitution reconnaît le principe d'égalité devant l'impôt, faire croire que la taxe Zucman serait inconstitutionnelle c'est vraiment nous prendre pour des benêts.
Ce serait "confiscatoire" de prendre 2% quand la fortune des milliardaires augmente chaque année d'au moins 6% ? 🤔

Taxe Zucman : "Hors de question" de taxer les biens professionnels, réagit la ministre du budget

Bernard Arnault et Vincent Bolloré approuvent ce message d'Amélie de Montchalin !

Exclure les biens professionnels de la taxe Zucman, c'est la vider totalement de sa substance, car la fortune des milliardaires est composée essentiellement de ces biens professionnels.

Table 1. Below some of the typical terminological disarray is untangled. Importantly, none of these terms are orthogonal nor do they exclusively pick out the types of products we may wish to critique or proscribe.

“To add insult to injury, many metaphorical … phrases (especially used to describe ANNs; see Table 1) — like train, learn, hallucinate, reason — are applied to machines and result in distorting how we perceive these machines: humanising them while dehumanising us”

“Of course, we have to teach our students about AI technologies. Teaching about AI technologies should be just like how we teach ‘no smoking’ or the causal links between lung cancer and smoke; yet, we do not teach students how to roll cigarettes and smoke them.”

[Note] Impôt sur les sociétés : 14 milliards d’euros en plus si les grandes entreprises avaient le même taux d’imposition que les PME Dans une période marquée par un intense débat sur la justice fiscale et sur la dette publique, il est logiquement apparu instructif de montrer que, si les grandes entreprises avaient le même taux d’im...

Si les grandes entreprises avaient le même taux d’imposition que les PME, on pourrait récupérer 14 milliards € de recettes supplémentaires de l'impôt sur les sociétés.

Il est urgent de lutter contre les niches fiscales.

Genome-wide analysis of brain age identifies 59 associated loci and unveils relationships with mental and physical health - Nature Aging This genomic study of magnetic resonance imaging-based brain age in 56,348 people identifies 59 genetic loci, links brain aging to mental and physical health, and suggests high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes as causal factors of brain aging.

🧠 Why do some brains age faster than others?
🧬 Our new Nature Aging study of over 56,000 participants explores the genetics of the “brain age gap” — the difference between your brain’s biological and chronological age.
