I also miss this time. Our community was much larger and much more active.
We could try reverse inference to find out who you are @neuroskeptic.bsky.social , or even better, call Karl. There is nothing that the Free Energy principle cannot solve!
From dementia prediction to brain-inspired AI - and the ethics in between.
One day. Big questions.

Really cool hyperscanning research from up the road. We should get you down to the @kingsioppn.bsky.social to present this @emre-yavuz-21.bsky.social !
If you have ever wondered what is involved in proposing a new emoji, check out @neilcohn.bsky.social 's proposal for the newly released Fight Cloud emoji.
Great work! It is really interesting to read the proposal. I had no idea what was involved in proposing new emojis. This will probably have more impact than any research you do this year!
Did you know King’s is home to one of the largest tissue banks in the UK?
This #BrainAwarenessWeek, Dr Claire Troakes invites us into the London Neurodegenerative Diseases Brain Bank – driving neuroscience research both in King’s and around the world.

My worst nightmare!
It's fine, we can just sit outside on the pavement to do our non-digital research.
Interesting long read demonstrating what could have been predicted. I have had students telling me that it is easier & faster for them to do things without AI. @drkatedevlin.bsky.social
“AI brain fry” [...] mental fatigue from excessive use or oversight of AI tools beyond one’s cognitive capacity"
A tweet that reads "love finding out someone used to be goth. Cause it means one day they looked in the mirror and said 'know what? I'm really not this spooky'"
We never retire, we just fade away like our treasured t-shirts
Just received the new book @neilcohn.bsky.social. I am looking forward to delve in it, as ChatGPT would say!
From data to Viz - Find the graphic you need #oldaily https://www.downes.ca/post/78858 Tom Woodward links to three interesting graphing resources in one post.
If you’re going to write a tutorial paper describing a tool or method, it makes a world of difference showing the paper to someone unfamiliar with the tool and asking them to recreate the examples. Some of these papers can be really tricky to follow

After taking 7 years to write and draw, my new graphic novel, Speaking in Pictures, about language, cognition, comics, and visual communication is out in less than a week! At long last! www.visuallanguagelab.com/sip
(Early) Congratulations! I am looking forward to it.
A safe and nurturing environment is key to promoting youth mental health. On this #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek we recommit to finding out what promotes resilience in children and young people - find out more about our research here: www.qmul.ac.uk/wiph/centres...
Two beautiful songs in a single post!
Interesting thread to start the day with! I think that I will wait to have breakfast first before looking at the articles...
Abstracts close 10 February!
BNA members are invited to submit abstracts for the BNA Members’ Meeting 2026 (22–23 April, online).
A great chance to share your work, get feedback, and connect with the neuroscience community.
Submit here: www.bna.org.uk/events/ems-e...
Is anyone really surprised by this? "So I agree this isn't just wiring up of dependencies, and neither is it copied from existing implementations: it's a uniquely bad design that could never support anything resembling a real-world web engine." by Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols in @theregister.com
Essential reading these days...
