Future of BRAIN Initiative funding remains unclear 4:11

6M ago4:11

4:11

As the U.S. Congress begins to discuss federal science funding for 2025, any plans to compensate for this year’s cuts to the neuroscience program face an uphill battle.

Can an emerging field called 'neural systems understanding' explain the brain? 21:09

7M ago21:09

21:09

This mashup of neuroscience, artificial intelligence and even linguistics and philosophy of mind aims to crack the deep question of what “understanding” is, however un-brain-like its models may be.

7M ago9:46

9:46

Old heuristics to acknowledge contributors—calling out first and last authors, with everyone else in between—don’t work well for large collaborative and interdisciplinary projects, yet they remain the default.
