The Transmitter Launch: Q&A with Amalia Napoli
This musician-turned-researcher “had already lived a life” before starting her Ph.D. in neuroscience at the age of 53. She spoke with The Transmitter about her path and how she used her time outside of academia to her advantage.

Rajesh Rao reflects on predictive brains, neural interfaces and the future of human intelligence
Twenty-five years ago, Rajesh Rao proposed a seminal theory of how brains could implement predictive coding for perception. His modern version zeroes in on actions.

Explaining ‘the largest unexplained number in brain science’: Q&A with Markus Meister and Jieyu Zheng
The human brain takes in sensory information roughly 100 million times faster than it can respond. Neuroscientists need to explore this perceptual paradox to better understand the limits of the brain, Meister and Zheng say.
