Gave a talk at the Crick institute on "Does heterogeneity help the brain and how could we know if it did?" part of a series we organised with nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq2muqkh4zfchv5jx6pdd6jj0afqs3agq6jf57pn6p098nheqvaeass89knu (nprofile…9knu). It was fun to present work aimed at generating discussion.

In particular, it was a new experience to present work not primarily to get people excited about the ideas in the work, but to raise questions like: can these ideas be tested? Does this approach to doing computational neuroscience make sense? etc.
We should perhaps do more of this!
