Setting up braingenix trying to understand from scratch
- Q: Running NES. sometimes its hard to see if somethings running already.
- A: I dont have good way. Just ps commands or grep.
- current process on system?
- Q: Having trouble starting API as well. NES is functional but core dumping.
- A: Compiled not in release mode.
- Solve issue of running multiple ones at once.
- Q: Easy bake reconstructor? Found in binary section, there's data in weird format. Info format. Img jpg format? Is this the same format, or defined format NES uses? Or you need translation on that part?
- A: NES Generates output images in .png format, (john saw this). Now, produces outputs images for NES in a number of different formats. You can zoom in and out even remotely.
- So there's .png
- ANd theres another format
- Q: Neuroglancer dataset. What is this?
- A: Pop it up in neuroglancer. Or that easybake reconstructor, the dataset is not important. We dont care about importing back to NES until we have something that can stack the images. 3D replication of those pixels. Import to neuroglancer to create that 3d image. You can use that, (you're going to get more help on this. later.) Detailed story on what should be accomplished and how. We're gonna give you the full story, which should make it much more clear for you.
- As long as you have json file with transform specifications, I'll see if i can get it to function
- Do something with it in python, and find images with it together, then you would be on the way to reconstructing.
- Q: NES does use Neuroglancer 3rd party repository. It is made by Google. What specific package before? But we will try with the Google one.
- A: I'm not sure where Neuroglancer is from, if it's Google's latest or something else.
- Q: Neuroglancer is callable within NES?
- A: Yes it is.
- Q: It does not show up on NES yet. Why?
- A: Not sure.
- Q: I can access it away from my computer?
- A: Yes

In-silico quantum states
Is it now proven possible to realize quantum states in-silico? Does this mean any quantum (brain) states/theories can be testable in-silico eventually? We don't need to get away from silico?

Rambling about performing "surgery" on neural networks and other random thoughts hopefully related

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/337967467_Neural_Network_Surgery_with_Sets
So as we deep dive into the fruit fly paper, I'm revisiting some gaming papers that OpenAI applied "surgery" toward neural networks years ago (2019). They used sets and gradients to detect which parts do and dont need retraining (likely an older than 2019 technique at that time). I'm wondering what the SoTA is now for transferring trained weights from one network to another. So if we're trained on the visual system, how would we even begin to transfer those weights toward its head movement or food drive? How would we even label these things?
When it comes to the work at Allen institute, yall said they're killing mice and scanning the brain during activity like eating or drinking? So they're labeling those mouse brain activities. At future stages, we would end up "animating" a 3 second action of a mouse brain drinking water? So we go from image generation to video generation same as how we start from simulating one frame of activity in the brain to simulating many frames?
So if we start with maybe fruit fly data, we label the scan's functionality while its trying to eat or trying to move.
Scan a human drinking water and transfer the weights of the mouse drinking water over to the human?
But if "biological representations" are within some hidden layers, then aren't we still stuck not knowing what's happening biologically still?
Is below an example of a "lofi" equivalent fruit fly paper's technique?
https://sites.google.com/view/stablediffusion-with-brain/
Maybe this is why "lofi" techniques are becoming more popular? It's because of BCI's? Maybe people betting more money toward short term goals in BCI's such as gaming and allow new interfaces for human paralysis?
