Starting January 6, we're doing a series of lectures at MIT on deep learning and AI. Skip the first one, but afterwards there are some great talks. All are welcome. Seating limited (first come, first served). Video will be posted a couple days after each lecture. Details: https://

From the existence of the self to the nature of free will, many philosophers have dedicated their lives to the problems of the mind. But now some neuroscientists claim to have settled these raging debates. Is it possible we have discovered a science to replace philosophy and can finally make real progress? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_ypquYcNl4

Yann LeCun :

This female PhD student in chemistry says that sexism, while still a thing to be fought, is no longer the main explanatory factor for the "leaky pipeline" phenomenon according to which many more women than men drop out of academic careers, particularly in STEM fields.

She says the main factor has become the difficulty of having children and a "normal" family life while pursuing a career that requires intense traveling and long hours at least until tenure, which may only happen after one's most fertile years.

She says that the best thing society could do to help women scientists is provide good childcare support and fund personnel to help manage their lab while they are on maternity leave.

What is your experience?

Yoshua Bengio :

Interesting in that it suggests practical action to retain more females in academia. I'm curious of what women in academia think of these views. And what about women in STEM in industry?

Using a brain-computer interface, a team of researchers has reconstructed English words from the brain activity of rhesus macaques that listened as the words were spoken. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-12/bu-rrs121319.php

When you listen to music, multiple areas of your brain become engaged and active. But when you actually play an instrument, that activity becomes more like a full-body brain workout. What’s going on?
