Arbor Neuroscience CEO Philip Sabes tells Shanghai BCI symposium that prediction is the neuromodulation bottleneck
Philip Sabes, a Neuralink founding scientist (2017 to 2020) and now CEO of Arbor Neuroscience, delivered a keynote at the BCI Inno+ Salon International Symposium on Brain-Computer Interface in Shanghai on 14 September 2026. His stated thesis was that the real bottleneck in neuromodulation is prediction: because clinicians cannot reliably predict what will happen after brain stimulation, treatment outcomes are inconsistent. Sabes summarised current practice as 'poke and hope' and positioned Arbo…

psi: Plant Photosystem I excitation energy transfer network (2020)
Weighted directed network of the light-harvesting Photosystem Ι (PSI) of the plant Pisum sativum. The nodes represent chromophores with different identities (i.e. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, β-carotene and derivates, lutein, violaxanthin), while edges represent FRET transfer between chromophores. The link directionality connecting nodes in the PSI network depends on the energy levels of the connected chromophores. The…

This is by far the warmest extended summer (June-September) on record for the Netherlands: September is turning into another summer month with an average temperature of 16.7°C (above the already warmed 1991-2020 average for June!).
The 4-month average of ~18.65°C is over 0.3°C higher than in 2006.

The temperature rise at the heart of El Niño in the Pacific Ocean has now reached 3.05C.
That is higher than the 3.02C set in late November 2015,
the previous high set in the 150 years of modern records.
This temperature is measured against the average of 1991-2020.
The preferred measure of most meteorologists uses a 30-year rolling average as a reference and so takes account of human-caused global heating.
This metric, called ONI (Nino3.4), is on the brink of…

Networks of faculty hiring for all PhD-granting US universities over the decade 2011–2020. Each node is a PhD-granting institution, and a directed edge (i,j) indicates that a person received their PhD from node i and was tenure-track faculty at node j during time of collection (2011-2020). This dataset is divided into separate networks for all 107 fields, as well as aggregate networks for 8 domains, and an overall network for …
