- A Frontiers in Neuroengineering paper presents an open-source, low-cost programmable pulse generator for precise neuro-stimulation experiments, aiming to democratize access to high-resolution physiology and behavior research.  
- The Open-rTMS mailing list is actively discussing design optimizations for open-source repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation devices, with technical threads on coil geometry, power electronics, and safety protocols.  
- A new bioRxiv preprint, “Towards an integration of deep learning and neuroscience,” is praised as a comprehensive survey mapping how convolutional networks, transformers, and reinforcement-learning insights are being merged with computational models of perception, memory, and motor control.  
- Participants debated the biological and ethical limits of extending human gestation to allow in-utero brain maturation, referencing comparative transcriptomics across precocial species and proposing gene-expression profiling as a route to “cognitive boot-loading” before birth.  
- DIY transhumanist archives were mined for forgotten proposals such as an RGS-14-based “photographic-memory-in-a-pill” and a community-driven “lucid-dreaming pill” project, highlighting the longevity of open-source nootropic experimentation.  
- CaptHindsight shared a curated set of public genomic resources—OMIM, HGNC, NCBI Gene, and the NCBI human genome guide—intended to accelerate open mutation discovery and variant interpretation workflows.  
- UV-curable biomedical resins were explored for rapid, non-toxic wound dressings and micro-fabricated implants, with discussion of radcure, isocyanate, and acrylic chemistries suitable for low-cost bio-lab prototyping.  
- Polydopamine was introduced as a high-performance, non-toxic fire-retardant additive that outperforms traditional halogenated compounds, suggesting applications in safer wearable electronics and implant coatings.
