AI doesn’t learn like we do. GoPro'd toddlers see mostly knees—but they can ID a dog after a few glimpses, while LLMs need billions of examples. Neuroscience suggests AI intelligence is gathered very differently than ours linkedin.com/p…

This is not an AI-generated image, but a photo from research suggesting the way we're training AI is nothing like the way babies learn about the world. Insights from developmental psychology undercut the parallel between AI models and human brains. Mounting a video camera on a baby’s head might seem like the premise for a goofy TikTok video, but for Indiana University psychologist Linda Smith, toddler-sized GoPros offered a way to investigate the role that bodies play in learning. Turns out …

Late emergence of pathological oscillatory activity in the retina of the Retinitis pigmentosa model RCS (Royal College of Surgeons) rat
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a leading cause of blindness. The best studied models of human RP are the rd1 and rd10 mouse and the RCS rat (Royal College of Surgeons). In many models after degeneration of the photoreceptors, a pathological rhythmic activity of the retina as well as lowered efficiency of electrical stimulation were observed. In rd10 retina, both events were shown to be intimately linked. Surprisingly, to our knowledge no retinal oscillations have been reported in RCS retina. As o…
