Coming April 19th. Movement Matters: How Embodied Cognition informs teaching and learning(2022)@mitpress argues that body-based practices support student learning. #edutwitter #Edutopia @LSXFellowship #LearningSciences @TeachingSTEM @teachereducator mitpress.mit.edu/books/movement…


Philosopher @AnnaCiaunica elegant treatise reminds us: "To understand minds, we need to grasp first how we become minds." The core truth: "One can experience without thinking, but one cannot think without experiencing." A vital read on the #EmbodiedSelf 🧬:…

How could Karl Friston’s Free Energy Principle become a blueprint for the future of AI? It unifies prediction, perception, and action, and what it means for an AI system to carry explicit uncertainty instead of overconfident guesses. youtu.be/M8q8tlc8Cqs?si… @FreeEnergyPrinciple…

Happy to share this recording of @MacrinePhD 's opening keynote of ECogS 2025! 🤗 The take-home message for me is that the AI revolution is an opportunity to refine our understanding of agency, demanding development of a more fine-grained articulation. youtu.be/c4BTH_63bpk?si…

Bioelectricity is an ancient property of all living cells. A key "instructional signal" for guiding embryonic development, regeneration, and even diseases like cancer. molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb… #Bioelectricity #CellBiology #RegenerativeMedicine #CancerResearch @drmichaellevin


Brain health depends on a delicate balance:Excitatory neurons = GO Inhibitory neurons = STOP. Imbalances linked to conditions like epilepsy (too much excitation) or associated with autism (too little). quantamagazine.org/how-the-brain-… #Neuroscience #BrainHealth #EIBalance #NeuralCircuits


Researchers @EPFL cracked the code on biological nanopores. Finding electrical charge and flexibility control ion flow, solves the "gating" mystery. They built a nanopore that mimics synaptic plasticity—learning like a synapse. This is a leap forward for biosensors and ion-based…
