How do internal states shape an animal's behavior? How do you even know what state an animal is in?

My paper with @jpillowtime @MurthyLab showing how to infer internal state, and how it helps us better understand the nervous system, now in @NatureNeuro!

@jpillowtime @MurthyLab @NatureNeuro Kanishk Jain and @gordonberman also wrote this excellent News and Views ('Opening the black box of social behavior') on the paper and which does a great job of contextualizing what we tried to show

@jpillowtime @MurthyLab @NatureNeuro @gordonberman ...which also means someone made some some great figures that I can steal for my presentations...
and in case you're wondering, I am celebrating by preparing slides for lab meeting tomorrow for one of my other projects that I am very excited about (it never ends - that's good)

Animals will respond differently to the same inputs when they are hungry/sated, attentive/bored, etc. But how do we know what state the animal is in?

In this preprint with @jpillowtime @MurthyLab, we show how you can do that automatically! 👇

@jpillowtime @MurthyLab Watch this dog - he's super excited and he's going to watch the ball, take in that sensory information, and transform it into motor commands to catch the ball
Now take a look at this doggo - he too sees a ball go up and down but he uses a different strategy...

I love collecting animal videos that show off that they have feelings and emotions and weird cognitive abilities, here are a few I've found in the past few months

Here's a frustrated and exasperated raccoon

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Regulations for AI?

It doesn't help when your definition of "AI" seems to be "any computer program"

mobile.nytimes.com/2017/09/01/opi…
People use AI in such a weirdly ambiguous way. It means everything from a super-intelligent sentient robot to basic pattern matching
(It's not clear to me which is the most disruptive of the two, though.)

State Government Debt Risk - a history that repeats too often!

As the work on building Amravati, the new capital city AP, comes to a grinding halt, concerns emerge about Amravati (APCRDA) bonds held by Franklin MF (~Rs. 1000 Cr) and Birla MF (Rs. ~300 Cr). Thread 1/11
During the Chandrababu Govt, Amravati received political as well as financial patronage. Now, with Jagan Reddy being incharge of the state, the project is in shambles. World Bank & ADB pulled out of the project and the Government is looking for reasons to scrap it. 2/n
The bonds issued to support the financing needs of the project were subscribed by Franklin MF and Birla MF. The bonds are guaranteed by the AP Govt but it's not sure if the Govt would keep servicing the bonds. The risk of lending to a state govt has again come to the fore. 3/11

Who are the real abortion extremists?

Abortion was legalized in this country in 1973 by the Roe vs. Wade decision of the US Supreme Court.

Abortion has been legal in all 50 states since then. It remains so.
HOWEVER, states were allowed to set their own *limitations & restrictions* on the procedure, which they then proceeded to do and have done since 1973.
Only *seven* states in the United States allow legal abortion up to birth:

NY, Washington DC, Alaska, Colorado, N.H., Oregon & Vermont. As we all know, VA introduced a bill in it's state legislature to allow it, but then Gov. Ralph Northam had a video go viral on him.

The Garza hearing starts now. I'll be live tweeting whether Trump administration can force an undocumented minor to give birth.
Government starts by saying it is not preventing Garza from getting an abortion just that they are not facilitating it. Sound familiar?
Government claims there is no undue burden and the only reason she can't get an abortion is because she happens to be detained.
