Rest in power Jane McAlevey, The Nation's strikes correspondent, a dear friend to the mag, and a woman who fought tenaciously until the end. We're putting together a thread of some of Jane's best reporting. But we'll start with her obit, published today:

1/n really excited about this one with @adelardalan and Xless labbies Quan and Jackie. RNN simulations of dual serial retrocuing task establish that the items are represented WM in orthogonal subspaces whose ranking ...

New preprint! @tafazolisina shows the brain builds complex tasks by compositionally combining simpler sub-task representations. By dynamically reusing neural subspaces for sensory inputs and motor actions, the brain can flexibly perform multiple tasks. 🧵

Jasmin Paris @JasminKParis finished loop five of the #BM100 in 59:58:21.

Looking forward to today's SfN nanosyposium on "geometry of task representations in biological and artificial neural networks" 🧠 at 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM WCC 146C. Overview of talks in 🧵 below.

Representing context and priority in working memory RNNs represent 1st-order context (that individuates an item) and higher-order cntxt (that can change unpredictably ) via distinct mechanisms. X-less Quan Wan @adelardalan X-less Jacqueline Fulvio
