Ah, así que publicaste en Scientific Reports? Qué revista seria, que buen sistema de peer review !

Are memories in your brain distributed or local? How did early experiments in the late 1940s address this? Join me this week with neuroscientist Nicole Rust (nicolecrust.bsky.social), author of "Elusive Cures", as we discuss the modern emerging picture of the brain. eagleman.com/podcast/141

Este año entré 2 veces a Linkedin y me da vértigo que en todas las publicaciones estén "excitados" y felices, y hablen tanto.

Found one in the wild! Models of the language network in a published paper in a (presumably) predatory journal. I think I'd be concerned if a patient had four anterior temporal lobes in their lert hemisphere, it might affect their conprehension #NeuroSkyence

La AI le vuela la chapa a mas de uno, sin llegar a ser episodios psicóticos para internación. Todos/as conocemos alguno que de tanto interactuar con la IA (y con poca gente que le diga "no da") se convenció de algo delirante o se cree que está muy capacitado para algo de lo que no tiene ni idea.

Parece que ✨ se volvió el emoji oficial de "hecho con IA" Lástima porque me gustaba la estrellita.

Just decline the peer review invitation. What are you people even doing?

Y ya que estamos...recuerden que está abierta la convocatoria para el próximo dossier. ¿Nos ayudan con la difusión? Toda la info acá 👉 revele.uncoma.edu.ar/index.php/li...

I know he was in last week as well but this might be the most important read of the week. An iconic piece of research on scaffolding just failed replication and @carlhendrick.substack.com has all the details and what it might mean here. open.substack.com/pub/carlhend...

We are currently preparing a large scale up of moderators to deal with the big backlog, which has built up to a truly unacceptable size. Again, please accept our apologies, and perhaps also take this as an invitation to join the moderation team? We need all hands on deck. bsky.app/profile/impr...

🌟 This week I'm curating the @weare.rladies.org account! 💜 I’ll be sharing bits and pieces from the R world — things I find interesting, helpful, or just fun to think about. Come say hi, share what you're up to, or just drop by for some good vibes! 🦄 #WeAreRLadies #RLadies #RStats

This week's #RLadies curator is @jformoso.bsky.social 🥳

Does anyone else find it perpetually annoying that what most folks would consider neural "computation" is Marr's "algorithmic" level, while his *computational* level is really just "what's the goal of this thing anyway?" AKA function.

New conceptual review + tutorial on text embeddings out in #APA_Journals w/ @almogsi. Beginner-friendly, but experts will find spicy new takes as well. Tag a colleague who’s still counting words... #RStats #tidyverse #quanteda 1/

Have you dreamed of seeing or reading books recently? Well, according to a German publication about dreams and their meaning from 1603 this means: future sadness and depression. Access the "Traumbüchlein" (VD17 39:113610Q): resolver.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/SBB0000A4E40... #booksky #bookhistory

🚀 Durante las próximas semanas compartiremos una serie de tutoriales sobre proyectos en #GitHub 🙋‍♀️ En nuestro primer video, @patriloto.bsky.social nos guía sobre cómo generar un issue para trabajar y colaborar mejor. Conoce el resto de los tutoriales y suscríbete: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

How is high-level visual cortex organized? In a new preprint with @martinhebart.bsky.social & @kathadobs.bsky.social, we show that category-selective areas encode a rich, multidimensional feature space 🌈 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #neuroskyence 🧵 1/n

En Instagram podés hacer un chatbot IA con la plantilla "terapeuta". Te decía dónde estudió y un no. de matrícula (todo falso, obvio, ni siquiera es persona). Le pusieron un "guardrail" pero igual no te dice que es un chatbot www.404media.co/senators-let...

An analysis of ~100,000 academics finds that a small subset of academics generate majority of social media posts. That vocal minority can skew how the public—and even journalists—infer “academic consensus,” potentially fueling false perceptions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"ChatGPT isn't its own, unique problem. It's a symptom of a totalizing cultural paradigm in which passive consumption and regurgitation of content becomes the status quo. It's a symptom of the world of TikTok and Instagram and perfecting your algorithm" www.404media.co/teachers-are...

Soon perhaps the AI will be going to university without the unnecessary baggage of bringing a human being along.

🆕 Introducing check_group_variation() in the {performance} #Rstats package! 🎉 This function makes it easy to checks if variables vary within or between levels of grouping variables. Perfect for understanding and designing mixed models 🚀 easystats.github.io/performance/... #stats #easystats

Semantic knowledge does not lie in "modular" ventral occipitotemporal or anterior temporal regions, but their white-matter connection. Great work here (title might be misleading) journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

😔 RIP stack overflow

The papers all follow a similar template and make misleading claims https://go.nature.com/4kucwEH

Ejemplo de reactancia psicológica: La propuesta "tienen que entender la IA, tener habilidades digitales", "tu futuro profe, psico, médico, abogado, amigo, es IA" La respuesta "Almost half of young people would rather live in a world where the internet does not exist"

Muchachada, necesitamos el último empujón para cerrar la muestra de Argentina (arrancamos bien y nos quedamos en el camino en los últimos días). Últimos 20 participantes para llegar a una muestra equivalente en cada comunidad lingüística. ¿Nos ayudan a compartir con quienes no lo hicieron? 😇🤓

Can anyone recommend a tutorial in R for longitudinal data, where the variation is not "less/more" but rather a qualitative state at different times? #rstats

Cool translingual approach. Creating instruments w/strong validity evidence across languages/cultures increases the instrument's reach, and may reveal important sources of variance that can be missed when focused on one language/culture. https://buff.ly/4fW7sGw #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

😱 The largest and most up-to-date list of #Predatory journals and publishers. #2025 😉 predatoryjournals.org/news/f/preda...

I'm putting together a reading list for my graduate class on executive function (starting next Tuesday). While doing so, I discovered that virtually all chapters in this 2024 volume on the frontal lobes are OPEN ACCESS (eds: Banich, Haber, & Robbins). Nice! I thought some of you might be interested.
