Thought I‘d try something: this book by Juerrero has come up a lot in some of the most interesting conversations I‘ve had on this platform about #causality, #complexity#neuroscience#agency#behaviour#mind and #brain and #dynamical systems but it‘s not an easy read. I am now determined to tackle it and will be posting updates as I go…
Recent research shows that the major cause of car accidents with kangaroos is caused by left-hand traffic in Australia. Such accidents don't happen in countries with right-hand traffic. #correlation vs #causality
What are the foundational principles of #neuroscience? By which I mean: beliefs or assumptions that animate our study of the brain across topics. Things like a belief in a structure-function relationship or the neuron as the base unit.
This is the potential development in AI I'm most interested in. So naturally, I tested this when I first used ChatGPT. In classic ChatGPT fashion, when asked to make a directed acyclic graph representing cause and effect, it could interpret that well enough to make a simple graph...but got the cause and effect flow for something...
With the usual #statistician’s caveat that #causality is really hard to sort out in data like this even with good #controls … yes, I believe this. And the #mechanisms aren’t hard to find, either. 😐
