We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.
The ability to quickly recognize sounds, particularly the vocalizations made by other animals, is known to contribute to the survival of a wide range of species. This ability is supported by a process known as categorical perception, which entails the transformation of continuous auditory input (e.g., gradual changes in pitch or tone) into distinct categories (i.e., vocalizations that mean something specific).
Various past studies have tried to shed light on the neural underpinnings of categorical perception and the categorization of vocalizations. While they broadly identified some brain regions that could play a part in these abilities, the precise processes through which animals categorize their peer’s categorizations have not yet been fully elucidated.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University recently carried out a study investigating how vocalizations are represented in the brain of big brown bats, which are scientifically known as Eptesicus fuscus. Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggest that the categories of vocalizations are encoded in the bat midbrain.
In a pilot study testing psilocybin therapy in Parkinson’s patients, the participants experienced clinically significant improvements in mood, cognition and motor function that lasted for weeks after the drug was out of their systems.

“Developers now can ship more code than ever before,” due to all the automation that is being used, thanks to AI. “But it’s still a very manual process to fix it when things go wrong.”
“My findings in this study fit with the thought that the Universe might work like a giant computer, or our reality is a simulated construct,” Dr. Vopson said.
“Just like computers try to save space and run more efficiently, the Universe might be doing the same.”
“It’s a new way to think about gravity — not just as a pull, but as something that happens when the Universe is trying to stay organized.”
Consciousness cannot be separated from reality. In this profound reflection, physicist Basil Hiley explains why classical physics tried to exclude the subject…
Why do the two most fundamental theories of the universe contradict each other? In this mind-bending segment from Quantum Convergance, we explore how Einstein’s general relativity and quantum mechanics—despite their opposing principles—both point toward one astonishing truth: the universe is not made of separate parts, but of undivided wholeness.
Using powerful metaphors like the whirlpool and grounded scientific insight from David Bohm and Einstein, this video unravels how the illusion of separateness may be the greatest misunderstanding in modern physics. Relativity describes the universe as a smooth, local continuum, while quantum theory insists on jumps, discontinuity, and entanglement.
But what if both are right… and incomplete?
