"When you outsource the thinking, you outsource the learning." is so on-point.

Happy to share a new preprint in which @paulbuerkner.com and I introduce a novel model-based approach for precisely estimating the onset and offset of M/EEG effects! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Two quick points. One, I wish we publicized and kept track of just how advocating for open science and especially replications impacts one's career. My personal experience & observation of students and ECRs working with me: it's very difficult. Challenges in every step.

Congratulations on the article and on bringing this ambition to fruition. I hope that this approach inspires other fields to pool data on a large scale and across labs, especially when the phenomena studied are difficult to access. A nod to my field of research, #aphantasia and #mentalimagery...

💤🧠🧪 New article! 🧪🧠💤 After years of effort led by @qualiastructure.bsky.social (Nao Tsuchiya and William Wong), Jenny Windt, Katja Valli, Valdas Noreika and @rherzoga.bsky.social, the Dream database is now published in @natcomms.nature.com **A dream EEG and mentation database** rdcu.be/eAwni

Our new preprint explores what people with different visual imagery abilities 'see' during Ganzflicker-induced hallucinations. We used NLP + ML techniques to analyze descriptions from 4,000+ participants. See what we found in @kerblooee.bsky.social's thread

i'm sorry my review is late i meant to read it weeks ago but the writing was actively hostile to comprehension each paragraph a slow erosion of my will to live

IDF officers and soldiers told Israeli media that they were ordered to fire at unarmed civilians near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been murdered. #3E #FreeGaza

[ #VeilleESR #ObscurantismeESR ] Polytechnique demande que les étudiants soumettent par écrit leur discours de fin d'année à l'approbation de l'administration. Je crois que c'est l'exacte définition de la censure. Des textes portants sur l'écologie, le féminisme et les inégalités ont été censurés.

On est passé de "régulation de l'enseignement supérieur privé" à "modernisation de l'enseignement supérieur"... Le projet a été envoyé à @newstankeduc.bsky.social et @aefsuprecherche.bsky.social, mais je n'ai pas réussi à le trouver sur les sites institutionnels. Ca ne sent pas bon du tout.

(And like, why are we still measuring researchers' productivity using number of outputs? I do not publish much but because I want to be reliable, replicable, and thoughtful. That's necessarily going to be slower but my work ends up in a "better" journal and being cited a little more.)

So if you can find that you can discriminate blue-seers from red-seers based on a determinable ground truth (e.g. brain response to red & blue stimuli), then this is meaningful. But what you -cannot- do is using people's brain patterns as an "objective" alternative to their self-report.

Can aphantasia be identified with a single question?: "Visualise a place that you know very well in every possible detail (e.g., your workplace, your bedroom or your favourite bar). How vivid is the picture that comes before your mind's eye?" from Merlin Monzel &c Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

What a cool preprint! From @gaenplancher.bsky.social Different subtypes of aphantasia show different performance on spatial, verbal & perceptual tasks: www.researchgate.net/publication/...
