Fascinating work! 👇

New blog post! Ever wonder what geom_histogram is actually doing? How about geom_boxplot? In celebration of the release of #ggplot2 4.0.0 (ggplot8?), I explore the relationships between the “geoms” and “stats” offered by the core {ggplot2} functions. #rstats

On my way home from #positconf. It was wonderful to meet you all to talk data science and the like! #positconf2025

Our new paper, “A neural compass in the human brain during naturalistic human navigation” is out in @sfnjournals.bsky.social! First-author @zhenganglu.bsky.social led the charge, with Josh Julian and collaborator @gkaguirre.com. www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

What makes humans similar or different to AI? In a paper out in @natmachintell.nature.com led by @florianmahner.bsky.social & @lukasmut.bsky.social, w/ Umut Güclü, we took a deep look at the factors underlying their representational alignment, with surprising results. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Mastering typefaces and fonts in #rstats has always been harder than it should. I have tried to collect much of my relevant knowledge in this deep-dive blog post so you can spend your time picking the right typeface instead of cursing at the computer

I promised to write about my thoughts on the status of the field of neuroAI, some of the big challenges we are facing, and the approaches we are taking to address them. This is super selective on the topic of finding a good model but in my view it affects the field as a whole. Here we go. 🧵

So @ourworldindata.org is making it easier to reuse our data through enhanced data downloads and a chart data API ourworldindata.org/easier-to-re...

Über 350 @rasenfunk.social Hörer*innen haben die Tabelle der Männer-Bundesliga getippt. So sieht die Verteilung der Tipps aus. Sehen wir drei Zweikämpfe in den Top 6? Danke fürs Teilen der Daten, @gnetzer.bsky.social! #rasenfunk #ggplot2 📊

📊When teaching or giving a talk, do you like presenting plots step by step, revealing e.g. one group at a time? This is often useful for walking through complex results. I made a R package that makes it extremely easy to do this! ggreveal: Reveal a ggplot incrementally #rstats #dataviz #ggplot2

Where are all the ggplot2 folks? The ggplot feed is almost empty 😢 Let's make this the new platform for all the wonderful visualizations created with #rstats 💪

I've just created a ggplot2 feed 👨‍💻📊👩‍💻 Give it a follow if you want to see relevant content related to your favorite code-first data visualization library 🙌 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Our new paper is out in Nature Comms. Great work by Alex Nitsch, which shows grid-like encoding of an abstract value space! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Everyone needs to know about `easystats` in R It is so much fun to use and then share with students Teaching on regression and just used the check_model() function and look at this beautiful figure

Hello hello! Do you like/love the work of my team and me? Want to work on the intersection of genes, the brain, and social behavior? (in human neuroimaging). I have a PhD position available (start early 2024) shorturl.at/axDNT

1/n Trying out Blue Sky Would be fantastic if some former guests could retweet/whatever you call it here, so I'm not starting from scratch again @matthiasnau.bsky.social @jzberman.bsky.social @eikofried.bsky.social @katejj.bsky.social @erikwengstrom.bsky.social @jacobbellmund.bsky.social

Replay in minds and machines. Cool new review by @lnnrtwttkhn, Samson Chien, @SHallMcMaster & @nico_schuck https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0149763421003444?via%3Dihub

Enjoyed reading @gershbrain's new opinion piece in @NeuroCellPress. Like the arguments for why discovery needs theory – we don't have an "innocent eye" and we use theoretical concepts when interpreting the output of "hypothesis-free" algorithms...

New #preprint with @lorenadeuker, @NicoleMontijn & @doellerlab! We show that the hippocampus represents temporal relations of events based on subjectively constructed time – and that it generalizes relational knowledge across episodes!...

What are grid-like responses doing in the orbitofrontal cortex? Curious to read Clara Raithel & Jay Gottfried's take on this https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fbne0000453

Cool to see the latest by @Mennopw's group in @elife: Local projections of layer Vb-to-Va are more prominent in lateral than in medial entorhinal cortex https://https://elifesciences.org/articles/67262 Congrats Shinya, Stefan, @NairRajeevkumar & @MaxNigro_Neuro et al.!...

Interesting preprint from Matt Nolan's group: Analogue representation of a spatial memory by ramp-like neural activity in retrohippocampal cortex https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.15.435518v1?ct=
