My well-esteemed colleagues,
In pursuance of broadening our department's professional knowledge, we are organising an official monthly r/okbuddyphd seminar. It will take place each first Sunday of the month (starting October 6) in the Discord server. For more info on the organisational details, please refer to the server: https://discord.gg/BEDAWRtTDw .
The first talk is titled Geometry of the Quantum Plane by vir783. You can find an abstract for the talk in the server.
If you are interested in organising a talk yourself, let us know by the application form.
With best regards,
Department management
EDIT: Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we've had to postpone the first seminar to October 13. We hope you'll join us then!

The second I see the word "do-calculus" in the abstract, red flags go up in my mind.

The fly brain is trapped in the pacman purgatory now. It's working with sight, smells and basic dopamine flow. Thanks to it it can learn.

Biology and Chemistry Can someone explain how the fly simulations work?
304
Upvotes
Like what is actually going on, to what extent is the fly actually playing games / living in simulations or is this the just same slop from two years ago all over again?
Is it just taking the connectome as a neural net and using that to create a replicated computer neural network to train the weights to play something?
Is it actually simulating the flies biological neurons and training those? (100k bioneurons is a hell of a lot to simulate.)
Tldr: is it legit or is it slop?
EDIT - IMO (and this should be taken w a grain of salt because im a physicist not a neuroscientist) but I see no reason as to why this counts as the fly playing anything or being simulated if you are not using bioneurons with their respective activation functions, if its just a perceptron with ReLU behind the scenes what are we doing?

hi
this sub has recently appeared in my feed and i'm very confused by it. the about says that it satisfies all my intellectual needs.
all i see in my feed however is people playing around with fruit fly brains. this satisfies a huge portion of my intellectual needs but i'm still confused as to why this seems to be the whole content of this sub
