Join us as we debunk the myth of sleep learning! From 1950s dreams of mastering languages overnight to modern science, we explore why you can’t soak up new information while you snooze. But don’t ditch sleep—studies show it’s key for locking in what you learn during the day!
A new study by @helmholtz_munich, @MPI_Kyb & @uni_tue shows GPT-4 excels in logic—but struggles with trust & teamwork. 🧠 Using a technique called Social Chain-of-Thought, researchers made it better at human-like interaction. #AI #GPT4 #SocialAI #GameTheory #TrustInAI
AI Meets Game Theory: New study reveals that while today’s AI is smart, it still has much to learn about social intelligence. Read more:🔗 t1p.de/ifuyh #AI #GPT4 #GameTheory #SocialAI

"Being a scientist isn’t about rockets and lasers – it’s about patience!" Join Veerle as she dives into her research with zebrafish, unraveling the mysteries of neuroscience. 🧪 #ScienceLife #Cybernetics #ZebrafishResearch #WomenInSTEM #Neuroscience @maxplanckpress
🧠🤖 New study led by @surabhisnath reveals striking parallels between human and AI creativity. Both people and LLMs use flexible and persistent strategies — but AI leans into one at a time. Pairing people with complementary LLMs could supercharge co-creation. 👉…

How do we spot a familiar face in a crowd? 🧠Max Planck researcher Pascal Fries reveals: Our brain filters sensory input by syncing nerve cell activity across layers, using a unique key signal to focus attention. Read more👉kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/822538/news_pu… #neuroscience #attention #brain…

🧠 New episode of our podcast Signals & Synapses out now! What are brain oscillations, and why do we need them? Cohost Chiara Zanonato talks with neuroscientist Pascal Fries about how rhythmic brain activity helps regions sync up. 🎧Tune in here tinyurl.com/45tj5r78 or on any…
