🐈👅 When a cat licks you, they aren't just trying to clean you – they’re designating you as a "preferred associate."

Animal behaviorists explain that this social grooming, or allogrooming, is a #behavior learned from their mothers to strengthen bonds and show trust.

I've published my digital Celtic Knotwork Workshop Booklet, yay!

https://ko-fi.com/s/f1a74eaf4b

It's 'Pay what you want over £5', and it's 10 worksheets (four of them are re-usable printable template sheets) that guide you through the basics to more complex techniques.

Huge thanks to the few of you who helped me test this and provided awesome feedback on earlier versions <3

🧠 New preprint by Shervani-Tabar, Brincat & @ekmiller on emergent #TravelingWaves in #RNN.

By aligning RNN dynamics to an empirically measured #NeuralManifold, they show that task-relevant TW can emerge through #learning, w/o hard-coding wave dynamics or connectivity. The cool thing here is that the waves are not imposed or engineered, but emerge naturally from learning under #BiologicallyPlausible constraints:
