Inspired by Edinburgh’s legacy of big ideas (e.g., Hume), on a train leaving the city, I crafted a book proposal about big ideas in network neuroscience—how brain flows generate representations that compose our minds. The rest is history, and this book: shorturl.at/dSfwB
My latest Neural Flows post!
"Emotions as global low-dimensional brain flow patterns"
Based on the book Brain Flows: How Network Dynamics Compose the Human Mind

Do brain connections just carry information between regions, or do they transform it?
Lab's latest out in Nature Neuroscience, led by Lakshman Chakravarthula: "Network geometry shapes the transformation of task representations across the human cortex"

Together, these results suggest the brain's network geometry is a computational substrate, not just wiring: low-dimensional connectivity compresses representations for generalization, while high-dimensional connectivity expands them for task-specific implementation 18/n
Thanks to first author Lakshman Chakravarthula
