My name is Artem, Iâm a computational neuroscience student and researcher.
In this video we will talk about the fundamental role of lognormal distribution in neuroscience. First, we will derive it through Central Limit Theorem, and then explore how it support brain operations on many scales â from cells to perception.

Things are moving at lightning speed in AI Land. On Friday, a software developer named Georgi Gerganov created a tool called âllama.cppâ that can run Metaâs new GPT-3-class AI large language model, LLaMA, locally on a Mac laptop. Soon thereafter, people worked out how to run LLaMA on Windows as well. Then someone showed it running on a Pixel 6 phone, and next came a Raspberry Pi (albeit running very slowly).
But letâs back up a minute, because weâre not quite there yet. (At least not todayâas in literally today, March 13, 2023.) But what will arrive next week, no one knows.
Through a vast network of nerve fibers, electrical signals are constantly traveling across the brain. This complicated activity is what ultimately gives rise to our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors â but also possibly to mental health and neurological problems when things go wrong.
Brain stimulation is an emerging treatment for such disorders. Stimulating a region of your brain with electrical or magnetic pulses will trigger a cascade of signals through your network of nerve connections.
However, at the moment, scientists are not quite sure how these cascades travel to impact the activity of your brain as a whole â an important missing piece that limits the benefits of brain stimulation therapies.

In this video, Unveiled takes a closer look at the Planck length â the smallest length imaginable in physics! What would happen if HUMAN BEINGS were this incredibly small? What would reality look like? And how would we understand life, the universe, and everything?
This is Unveiled, giving you incredible answers to extraordinary questions!
Picture this: You might think that ChatGPT is a trendy new invention but what if we told you that it actually first made an appearance in a sci-fi novel?
The Algebraist by Scottish writer Iain M. Banks, published in 2004, featured the idea way before it became a reality. Who knew that a book could predict the future with such accuracy? Itâs almost feels like a conversation that the former Google engineer Blake Lemoine might have had with LaMDA: (Excerpts from page 381 â The Algebraist)
But, this instance is not the first of its kind, where it just goes to show that science fiction can inspire real-life innovation in ways we never thought possible. So, letâs keep an open mind and embrace the unexpectedâ who knows what other wild ideas might become a reality in the future?
Futurist Ray Kurzweil is still making waves years after his initial singularity claims as artificial intelligence continues to progress. With singularity milestones coming, Kurzweil believes immortality is achievable by 2030. Kurzweilâs predictions are met with a healthy dose of skepticism. A new video from the YouTube channel Adagio revisits futurist Ray Kurzweilâs ideas about how for humans, both singularity and immortality are shockingly imminentâas in, potentially just seven years away.
