Finally, we have some awesome freely-moving mouse work to share, including forays into auditory-guided inference and belief updating (Reeto Bhattacharya), and active sensorimotor strategies for sound localization (Rachel Cassidy)!

I'm excited to be presenting my recent work on uncertainty-guided exploration at the Foraging conference in Lyon this week! Looking forward to a lot of engaging talks and posters (and great food of course)!!! sites.google.com/view/foragin... #neuroscience
Foraging conference

So true.
I'm reminded of something that Donald Barthelme wrote about the Nouveau Roman literary movement. To paraphrase, he said that their seriousness indicated a lack of seriousness. In both literature and science, being too serious risks surrendering the most serious things: freedom, play, adventure, joy.

Partially dissociable roles of the orbitofrontal cortex and dorsal hippocampus in context-dependent hierarchical associations
Animals use contextual information to interpret ambiguous cues. Using chemogenetic
silencing in rats, Peterson et al. show that the orbitofrontal cortex and dorsal hippocampus
are both involved in thi...

It's been a great week for inference papers!
Huge congrats to @karyna-mi.bsky.social for her paper published today in Science! She found that the hippocampus is really important for a key strategy we use to make decisions called hidden state inference! 🧪 🧠https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq5874 1/7
Hidden state inference requires abstract contextual representations in the ventral hippocampus
The ability to use subjective, latent contextual representations to influence decision-making is crucial for everyday life. The hippocampus is hypothesized to bind together otherwise abstract combinat...

For Science Magazine, I wrote about "The Metaphors of Artificial Intelligence".
The way you conceptualize AI systems affects how you interact with them, do science on them, and create policy and apply laws to them.
Hope you will check it out!

The metaphors of artificial intelligence
A few months after ChatGPT was released, the neural network pioneer Terrence Sejnowski wrote about coming to grips with the shock of what large language models (LLMs) could do: “Something is beginning...
