kanzure | "Although these changes primarily rely on eyesight, we found that light causes chromatophores to expand in excised pieces of Octopus bimaculoides skin. We call this behavior light-activated chromatophore expansion (or LACE). To uncover how octopus skin senses light, we used antibodies against r-opsin phototransduction proteins to identify sensory neurons that express r-opsin in the skin. We hypothesized that octopus LACE relies on the ... | 03:39 |
kanzure | ... same r-opsin phototransduction cascade found in octopus eyes. By creating an action spectrum for the latency to LACE, we found that LACE occurred most quickly in response to blue light. We fit our action spectrum data to a standard opsin curve template and estimated the λmax of LACE to be 480 nm. Consistent with our hypothesis, the maximum sensitivity of the light sensors underlying LACE closely matches the known spectral ... | 03:39 |
kanzure | ... sensitivity of opsin from octopus eyes. LACE in isolated preparations suggests that octopus skin is intrinsically light sensitive and that this dispersed light sense might contribute to their unique and novel patterning abilities. Finally, our data suggest that a common molecular mechanism for light detection in eyes may have been co-opted for light sensing in octopus skin and then used for LACE." | 03:39 |
kanzure | "Experiments performed in the 1960s showed that chromatophores respond to light, suggesting that they can be controlled without input from the brain, but nobody had followed this up until now." | 03:42 |

* narwh4l sighs heavily | 05:43 | |
narwh4l | Neural nets are super cool, but there is a lot more out there | 05:43 |
Adlai | "The basic idea is that there's a lot of wisdom in these essays, but unfortunately Paul Graham is a relatively slow generator. Wouldn't it be great if we could sample startup wisdom on demand?" | 05:43 |
Adlai | 'Sometimes it says something that offers a glimmer of insight, such as "a company is a meeting to think to investors"' | 05:44 |
kanzure | "The state of the art in compressing wikipedia is 1.278bits (on a certain subset)" http://prize.hutter1.net/ | 05:44 |
kanzure | narwh4l: sure | 05:45 |
kanzure | narwh4l: the presence of neural network software does not entirely detract from other useful things | 05:45 |
kanzure | "This same thing (i.e., using recurrent neural networks to predict characters (and even words)) was done by Elman in 1990 in a paper called "Finding Structure in Time"[1]. In that paper, Elman goes several steps further and carries out some analysis to show what kind of information the recurrent neural network maintains about the on-going inputs." http://crl.ucsd.edu/~elman/Papers/fsit.pdf | 05:46 |
narwh4l | Here's an unpopular opinion: neural networks are bad at predicting things | 05:46 |
narwh4l | very good at recognizing things which _sometimes_ means they are good at recognizing a predefined type of situation which is kind of a prediction hack | 05:47 |
narwh4l | but prediction? no, not on their own | 05:47 |
narwh4l | I'm just saying they are for sure super cool and their existence doesn't detract from anything | 05:48 |

kanzure | although i would argue that biologically-accurate neuron emulation is understudied | 05:50 |
narwh4l | It's also true that the performance of an ANN can be dramatically enhanced with the right feature selection, but feature selection just becomes its own problem | 05:50 |

Adlai | biologically-accurate neuron emulation... does that involve modelling all the kroutons bumping into eachother among the synaptic soup? | 05:50 |
narwh4l | that bio-esque neural nets are WAY understudied | 05:50 |
Adlai | if not, let's call it "biologically-less-inaccurate" | 05:51 |
kanzure | Adlai: it involves many things... ion channels, receptors, axons, cell membranes, etc. | 05:51 |

kanzure | "As mentioned above, NEURON also has a GUI tool called the ChannelBuilder that makes it easy to specify voltage- and ligand-gated ion channels in terms of ODEs (HH-style, including Borg-Graham formulation) and/or kinetic schemes.
