Neurologists in Hollywood are a rare breed. 🧠🎬
Usually, TV just casts a "Neurosurgeon" to do everything. But when actual Neurologists show up, they bring the cerebral drama, the diagnostic mysteries, and the deep empathy.
Here are 5 iconic depictions of Neurologists in Movies & TV. 🧵👇

* Versions - eyes moving together

Online Now: AI Surrogates and illusions of generalizability in cognitive science
AI Surrogates and illusions of generalizability in cognitive science
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have generated enthusiasm for using AI simulations of human research participants to generate new knowledge about human cognition and behavior. This vision of ‘AI Surrogates’ promises to enhance research in cognitive science by addressing longstanding challenges to the generalizability of human subjects research. AI Surrogates are envisioned as expanding the diversity of populations and contexts that we can feasibly study with the tools of cognitive science. Here, we caution that investing in AI Surrogates risks entrenching research practices that narrow the scope of cognitive science research, perpetuating ‘illusions of generalizability’ where we believe our findings are more generalizable than they actually are. Taking the vision of AI Surrogates seriously helps illuminate a path toward a more inclusive cognitive science.
