Living in space can change where the brain sits in the skull. @ufastraeus.bsky.social's Director Rachael Seidler explains in @us.theconversation.com.

Humanoid Robots Hit a Turning Point as Their Brains Catch Up The architect of the DARPA Robotics Challenge explains how their brains have caught up

Gill Pratt, Chief Scientist at Toyota, ran the DARPA Robot Challenge in 2015. First time walking humanoids were on the world stage. Earlier he ran the "Leg Lab" within the then MIT AI Lab. Read where he thinks we are now in our robot future (spoiler: its nuanced). spectrum.ieee.org/humanoid-rob...

And a second great talk by Max!

Amazing talk by Prof. Donelan

Is it ok if we retire the title “Thought Leader” at this point? Asking for a friend.

Thanks. Still working on it. We need better, smaller, more powerful motors to make that work. But still working on it.

Should they be decorpitated heads? Is that a word? Not sure.

Basic Experimental Studies Involving Humans (BESH) will no longer be subject to the requirements under the NIH Clinical Trial Definition.

On research careers in academia and industry The epilogue to a series on Cognitive Science and AI

Should you go to academia or industry for research in AI or cognitive science? It's the most common question I get asked by PhD students, and I've written up some of my thoughts on the answer, as an epilogue to my research-focused series on these fields: infinitefaculty.substack.com/p/on-researc...

Interpreting EEG requires understanding how the skull smears electrical fields as they propagate from the cortex. I made a browser-based simulator for my EEG class to visualize how dipole depth/orientation change the topomap.

Since you put it that way, how about we have a MOBI conference in Florida in the future?

✨ What better way to wrap up a conference day than sharing this view with colleagues and friends, after inspiring science and insights into mobile brain imaging?

Join the Mobile Brain/Body Imaging Conference #MoBI2026 August 25–28, 2026 and enjoy this view during our social!

main goal for this year: find a new job! 🙂

looking for a role with fun & complex technical challenges & within a great community. my main expertise is in signal processing/EEG/MEG, but topic-wise I am quite flexible.

science/industry both great! starting mid-year. nschawor.github.io/cv

He’s the Godfather of Modern Robotics. He Says the Field Has Lost Its Way.

Largely accurate story, but has someone saying I am wrong about humanoids needing human level dexterity. NO. I am saying humanoid companies are claiming they will get it, so humanoids can replace humans everywhere, & I am saying their current methods won't attain it. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/b...

The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine www.nytimes.com/interactive/.... Every working scientist knows this but it is depressing to see it laid out. @nytimes.com @standupforscience.bsky.social @scifri.bsky.social

Prof. Chang Liu did an amazing job with this behemoth of a project!!!

Fascinating that #EEG is one of the top trends, while #fMRI is declining.
We've just set up a @ucl.ac.uk EEG community and attendance was way over what we expected. Interesting times.
