This was a collaboration with some fantastic co-authors: Abi Tenenbaum, Zhang Enyan, and Zhenghao Herbert Zhou. And a huge thanks to the editors @stepalminteri.bsky.social and @neuranna.bsky.social; and to the two reviewers, who both raised really important points! 10/10

New preprint from David Skrill with @jfeather.bsky.social : tinyurl.com/2xm8rucz We synthesize stimuli that decorrelate neural predictions from competing encoding models, revealing a dramatic improvement in auditory cortical prediction accuracy from adversarial training.

Thank you so much to @newscientist.com Live for the opportunty to talk about AI consciousness (& how we really, really don't have a good way of testing for it)! Headlines & scientists saying "OMG it might be conscious, 5% chance" are sensationalism BS. Based on what? Vibes? Not good enough for me.

Cold sensitivity in teeth is extremely common, but what neural mechanisms give rise to it? Our new preprint is out on bioRxiv! We combine in vivo trigeminal calcium imaging with precise spatiotemporal cooling to show that myelinated mechano-nociceptors encode noxious cold in the tooth.
