If:
- Calculators delegated our capacity for arithmetic to machines
- The camera delegated our capacity for visual memory to machines
- The tape recorder delegated our capacity for auditory memory ..
- Google and wikipedia delegated our capacity to remember facts ..

Then what are LLMs doing?

And if each of those delegations made space for other types of mental load, what are we making space for this time?

(This is a thought experiment, I have no evidence that any of the above actually happened).

Musicians and producers: My forthcoming book examines how brain science refines music-making without restricting artistic freedom. It outlines cognitive processes in composition, sound design, and performance while addressing perception, memory, and emotion in creative decision-making. The book offers insights that enhance technical ability and artistic clarity.

Updating my pinned bio post:

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my profile. I teach history in Higher Education. My areas are #19thCentury, #USHistory, and #Aviation history.

I also create resources related to faculty development, online courses, Artificial Intelligence, and accessibility.
#EdTech, #AI, #EdDev, #a11y, #OnlineLearning, #InstructionalDesign, #CognitiveScience.

Looking forward to engaging on these topics, along with my hobbies: #PetBirds, #Birds, #Kayaking, #Nature, #Photography, #Ceramics.

Does anyone know about Helmholtz machines, or similar, and would be open to me asking a couple of questions?

I do experimental cognitive psychology and they're outside my expertise, and I think my questions are the type that are hard to answer through reading individual papers myself but should be simple for someone who is familiar with the higher level assumptions and norms of the field.

Thanks!

New research highlights how our brains synchronize during conversations, with words and context playing crucial roles. This brain sync facilitates understanding and emotional connection, as speakers and listeners align their neural activity. Context enhances this alignment by providing a shared framework, making communication more effective.
