💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: ✍️🧠 A new study challenges the idea that people are born with a skilled dominant hand, showing instead that hand dominance develops through repeated practice. Researchers at Johns Hopkins and UCLA found that when tasks are novel both hands perform equally well, and that hand preference comes first and skill follows, not the reverse. 👉 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/people-arent-born-with-as-righties-or-lefties-they-develop-hand-dominance-with-practice-a-new-study-suggests-180989168/ #brains #science #neuroscience #learning #childdevelopment #psychology #johnshopkins #UCLA #research #study

I'm fairly sure most folks I interact with would agree with the statement "LLMs cannot think." pretty uncontroversially. Here's a question for you, though: how do we feel about this statement? "Brains cannot think." (Comments and shares encouraged.) #poll #llm #llms #ai #brains #intelligence #cognition #philosophy #goku

Human brains light up for chimp voices in a way no one expected

Humans don’t just recognize each other’s voices—our brains also light up for the calls of chimpanzees, hinting at ancient communication roots shared with our closest primate relatives. Researchers found a specialized region in the auditory cortex that reacts distinctly to chimp vocalizations, but not to those of bonobos or macaques, revealing an unexpected mix of evolutionary and acoustic influences.

Video from a good alumni event: Bringing #Birmingham to You: Beautiful #Brains - building #neurodiverse futures https://youtu.be/8Hc19BukDsc "Our panel of academics and lived-experience experts talk about how #neurodiversity can transform #workplace culture, boost resilience, and empowers #inclusive leadership. Explore with us how widening #access to education and the workforce helps address social #inequalities. We share tips and signpost ways to properly support neurodivergent colleagues. And hear how Birmingham researchers are informing national #policy at government level."
