The concept of 'AGI' (a system that can match or exceed human performance across all tasks) shares all of the defects of the Turing Test. It defines 'intelligence' entirely in terms of human performance. 1/

This is a really nice piece by Eiko Fried on how to avoid cynicism creep as an academic: eiko-fried.com/antidotes-to-c…

This position is still available! We're looking for folks who are interested in affective/cognitive neuroscience and being at the forefront of FMRI research and computational modeling - please consider applying if you want a long-term position in a great research environment!

Now out in PNASNews! Large-scale reading evidence that next-word predictability effects in humans are driven by *inference* (logarithmic in predictability) rather than preactivation (linear in predictability). pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Very pleased to see this article in print! In a study with 2000 subjects, we track how people read syntactically complex sentences, and find that word predictability estimated from language models does a poor job of explaining the human data. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to launch the new Neuromatch NeuroAI course this summer! This is our first advanced course on the shared principles of intelligence in artificial and natural systems. Applications are open until March 17th (for TAs) and March 24th (for students). neuroai.science/p/unveiling-th…

Attention FMRI Methods folks & those looking for a long-term non-PI position in affective neuroscience and pain: Our lab has a new Staff Scientist 1 position! Applications accepted through March. See job posting below - please spread the word!

New from Jixing Li & Marco Lai!
Excited to share our within-subjects comparison of 2-word composition in a minimal composition paradigm vs natural speech: a composition classifier trained on the 2-word data generalizes to the narrative data. Our first Imaging Neuroscience EiC pub! 🎉

We’re recruiting for a facility head to serve as Director of the NIH Pain Research Center at NIHClinicalCntr. If you have a doctorate in a field related to neuroscience and pain and clinical research expertise, this may be the position for you. bit.ly/3tIMGbe

Devastatingly sad news. My good friend, colleague, and a treasured scientist at the NIH for over 20 years, Dr. Sean Marrett, has passed away today. I wrote a short obituary for him. thebrainblog.org/2023/12/13/a-f…

Very thoughtful perspective on AI regulation, in my opinion, especially the emphasis on the present risks, and liability hinging on human agency.

I almost DDOS'ed myself by asking you for your NeurIPS papers! I found 197 NeuroAI and NeuroAI-adjacent papers at the main conference–brace yourselves! neuroai.science/p/neuroai-pape…
