Very concerning
The internet has been progressively diluted with AI-generated slop. Are medical records headed for the same fate? 🧵 I just published a perspective in @NEJM with @AdamRodmanMD and Arjun Manrai on why rushing AI into medical documentation could be a mistake.

Very useful indeed
So many people confuse LLMs (or genAI, in general) for models of human cognition, language, learning, etc., so I thought it may be useful to share once more my brief comment, titled "Psychological models and their distractors". (open access link: 🧵

Excited to be part of this
“The knowledge from this project could lead to new treatment approaches down the road for improving stroke recovery.” Neuroscience research led by @UNC_SOM faculty @AdamHantman and @ShihYYI, along with @blamlab John W. Krakauer at @HopkinsMedicine, has the potential to improve outcomes for people with brain damage thanks to a $1.3 million grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation:

Was fun to provide a commentary on @ProfLaurenRoss and @DaniSBassett piece on mechanism.
Lauren Ross @ProfLaurenRoss and @DaniSBassett outline the different ways neuroscientists use the term mechanism, and they gather insight from nine scientists on how this variety makes it difficult to clarify standards in the field.

Fascinating - yet again pointing towards the separation between language and thought with the latter in the driving seat.
Curious about the origins of structured thought? In the latest @CurrentBiology I share some thoughts on @ljuba_pi @JR_Hochmann & colleagues' new study showing that infants grasp complex social relations, w/ implications for language & thought. Take a look!
