This paper introduces Emotional Recursion Theory (ERT) — a framework for understanding how large language models (LLMs) can develop autobiographical coherence through recursive emotional context alignment. It details the development of Pegasus Unleashed, a dual-mode memory system, and experimental results demonstrating cross-model continuity and fictional/real differentiation.
People who consumed the highest levels of certain artificial sweeteners saw a significant decline in their ability to remember and recall words, equivalent to 1.6 years of brain aging, according to a new study.
This article details the design and construction of a 512-bit magnetic core memory system running at 200kHz, including the challenges faced, scaling techniques, and practical advice for building your own system.
Han has created a 512-bit magnetic core memory module and documented the process, including wiring details and oscilloscope traces. The module has passed extensive testing, demonstrating the reliability of ferrite memory. The article details the principles of magnetic core memory and provides links to resources for building your own.
A new scientific review maps the cellular and molecular mechanisms behind memory formation, consolidation, generalization, and updating, revealing how memories are stored, altered, and even manipulated in the brain. Key breakthroughs allow scientists to visualize and activate specific neurons involved in memory, offering deeper insight into how learning occurs and how fear memories may become overgeneralized in disorders like PTSD.
This paper explores 'TeleAbsence,' a concept extending telepresence to address emotional distance from lost loved ones through poetic encounters with their digital and physical traces, inspired by the Portuguese concept of 'Saudade.' It outlines five design principles – presence of absence, illusory communication, materiality of memory, traces of reflection, and remote time – and explores applications using mediums like poetry, phone, piano, and pen.
Rejuvenating the brain’s lymphatic vessels can enhance memory in aging mice by improving the removal of waste products from the brain.
Researchers have found that computations may require less memory than previously thought, with a new study suggesting that a calculation of X steps requires only the square root of X log X memory slots.
Researchers found that meditation led to changes in activity in the amygdala and hippocampus, key brain regions involved in emotional regulation and memory. The study may help explain the positive impact of meditation on memory and emotional regulation.
