Psychological truths like Skinner vs Pavlov Conditioning

Something I find fascinating is that being consistent (and trustworthy) is less effective than being 80/20% consistent (classical vs operant conditioning) at training dogs where there are contextual/environmental cues at play. It’s personally counter-intuitive, but I’ve seen it work and am convinced (I attribute it to...

Brain-inspired computing with fluidic iontronic nanochannels (www.pnas.org)

Scientists have created an artificial synapse that works with water and salt, mimicking the medium used by our brains. This could lead to more efficient and energy-saving brain-inspired computers. The device, called an iontronic memristor, consists of a microchannel filled with water and salt, and can process complex information...
