BREAKING: Congratulations to PNI professor emeritus John Hopfield, who was awarded the 2024 @NobelPrize in Physics, alongside @UofT's Geoffrey Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks”
A team of @Princeton and @RutgersU researchers, led by PNI's @yael_niv, received a $16M @NIMHgov grant to study how disorders like depression and anxiety may stem from how the brain interprets the world via "latent cause inference."
