   2026 Nobel Prize honors optogenetics pioneers

   QbitAI reports that Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel received the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries involving light-gated ion channels and optogenetics. Their work connected light-sensitive proteins from green algae with precise, millisecond-scale control of selected neurons, helping neuroscience move from observing correlations to testing causal links between neural activity and behavior.

   Apple paper studies how users negotiate ontological boundaries in personal sensing systems

   Apple Machine Learning Research and Stanford University authors published "Negotiating Ontological Boundaries in User-Authored Personal Sensing Systems." They built two open-ended Wizard-of-Oz probes that let participants experience training a personalized machine learning system on phenomena they define themselves, then ran a week-long exploratory study. The authors identify four sites of ontological boundary negotiation — the boundaries of a phenomenon, the subject as part of relations, what counts as signal versus noise, and the objectivity of data — and offer design starting points for supporting such negotiation.
