- Chronotypes of people - natural early risers versus born night owls - could be as big as personality types: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Our paper at #NeurIPS 2025: 1) Pre-trained transformer models impose semantic structure on inputs. 2) More skewing of transformer processing as input uncertainty increases. 3) Spurious concept activations can predict hallucinations. arxiv.org/pdf/2509.069... #large #language #models + #safety

- Our Nature paper on the hashtag#scaling hashtag#behavior and economics of hashtag#machine hashtag#learning predictions in high-dimensional brain scans is out ! Congrats to the whole team. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Looking forward to speak at Yale University next friday. impact-mh.org/event/impact...
- I am impressed by this book I am currently reading: Kissinger's posthumous work on: -strong anthropological views on the current AI evolution -modes in which #AI could take space as a physical and intellectual actor -how modes of decision making of humans and machines can coalesce and completment
- Great opportunity to get generous postdoc funding to work at a Canadian university
- Big congrats to our former postdoc Andrea @andrealuppi.bsky.social for earning the Brain Star Award for his work ! can-acn.org/brain-star-a...

- Reposted by danilobzdokMy talk on “Neuroscience and AI: a symbiosis” @SimonsInstitute I start with a whirlwind history of metaphors for intelligence, spanning Hippocratic hydraulics, Hobbesian clocks, Cartesian dualism to Turing, telegraphs, Hopfield, and deep learning. simons.berkeley.edu/talks/surya-...
- "For the first time, we can...get performant neural networks that mimic complex human & animal cognition," said @suryaganguli.bsky.social speaking on the symbiosis of AI & neuroscience at the Simons Institute. "That's remarkable and exciting. Caveats...to follow" simons.berkeley.edu/talks/surya-...
