- Super awesome work by @solarpunkgabs.bsky.social - training neural cellular automata directly to solve tasks via matrix operations!
- New #Preprint Alert!! 🤖 🧠 🧪 What if we could train neural cellular automata to develop continuous universal computation through gradient descent ?! We have started to chart a path toward this goal in our new preprint: arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2505.13058 Blog: gabrielbena.github.io/blog/2025/be... 🧵⬇️

- We're just getting started discovering how biology constrains the emergence of intelligence & behaviour + leveraging this w/ AI. Spatially embedded neuromorphic networks nature.com/articles/s42... Thank you Bratislav Misic & Filip Milisav: covering mine and @achterbrain.bsky.social recent work!
- A reminder of these positons! Do share with talented students and colleagues - do get in touch if you have any questions.
- We have x4 Postdoc positions @ Cambridge, @ the fantastic MRC Cognition & Brain Sciences Unit, working on exciting comp neuro, imaging and NeuroAI projects… w/ @duncanastle.bsky.social, Petra Vertes + others! Link here: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/43796/ If you have any questions, hmu! (Do plz share!)

- Sorry! Here it is www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/43796/
- ‼️Maths in the Brain 2023 ‼️ I’ll be speaking with some great scientists - my first time in Melbourne (23 Oct '23) 🦘 w/ @anilseth.bsky.social, @drbreaky.bsky.social, Ines Hipolito, Tao Tsuchiya, Reuben Rideaux & Nanda Ribeiro! Registration here, pls share!: www.eventbrite.com/e/workshop-2...
- I have two invites for BlueSky. What’s the best way to share them?
- Finally on my way down under! ✈️ 🇦🇺 Extremely excited (an understatement) to be visiting the @macshine.bsky.social group, working closely with @christopherjwhyte.bsky.social on biophysical generative models of spiking networks. A new chapter!
- [Not loaded yet]
- Thanks Mac! Speak soon
- In lieu of an introductory post, I want to re-share our latest preprint which leverages a novel thalamocortical spiking neural network to bridge the gap between the cellular mechanisms of perception studied in rodents and the behavioural signatures of conscious perception studied in cog neuro.
- Beautiful work 🙌
- (Porting over some tweets!) Last week @achterbrain.bsky.social and I were at CCN in Oxford, discussing various projects in spatial-embedding in computational neural network models. Here is some recent work on weighted generative models of human connectivity!
- The one and only danakarca.bsky.social arrived on Bluesky! Give him a follow for some seriously cool Computational Neuroscience work - specifically Dan has been pushing to bring theoretical approaches from Computational Neuroscience to be used in Developmental Neuroscience!
- Thanks @achterbrain.bsky.social! Hopefully this can be a new home…!
- Finally over to bluesky! I’m a computational neuro post-doc, working on neuro-AI and generative models in neuroscience. Looking forward to sharing more here 😎
