Simulations are fun! Especially with the right tools😉. @willenjoy.bsky.social and I (with support from Mina Jamshidi) made a toolbox for simulating EEG/MEG data meegsim.readthedocs.io I put together a quick simulation using it for this short clip. Took me 10 minutes (no, really!) #brainmovies

I used to be one of those people who insisted that the word "data" was plural and that "data is" was wrong. I think I was the one who was wrong, after I read this. www.arrantpedantry.com/2012/08/07/t...

Very strong for me!!

I've been waiting some years to make this joke and now it’s real: I conned somebody into giving me a faculty job! I’m starting as a W1 Tenure-Track Professor at Goethe University Frankfurt in a week (lol), in the Faculty of CS and Math and I'm recruiting PhD students 🤗

Andrey's second point is an important insight. Behind the authorship system lurks this vague and un-explicit auteur (in the sense of a brilliant film director or artist) mentality and attachment to a "great minds" model of science.

Wait a minute. Why aren't we celebrating the hundredth anniversary of Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin's dissertation.

I don't read it that regularly anymore, but this one... :S www.qwantz.com/index.php?co...

Fab thread about one of the (many) things one walks past in Oxford without much thought...

Our #AI #DynamicalSystems #FoundationModel DynaMix was accepted to #NeurIPS2025 with outstanding reviews (6555) – first model which can *zero-shot*, w/o any fine-tuning, forecast the *long-term statistics* of time series provided a context. Test it on #HuggingFace: huggingface.co/spaces/Durst...

Proposal for how to fix family wise error rates. For every uncorrected p value you must add an extra letter to the claim. “Eating chocolate maaaaaaaaay be associated with lower rates of stroke”

His fellow Nobel prize winner Tom Sargent uses Python and Julia. www.tomsargent.com I don't follow macro so closely nowadays, but my impression is that #julialang is getting popular, as it is the natural progression from Matlab (open source, fast and with linalg syntax similar to Matlab).

finally had a little time to dig into this special issue on LLMs/MixedModels in a BF context: link.springer.com/journal/4211... The discussion on the marginality principle is quite interesting (seems like you can test main effects with interaction present after all - in ANOVA designs)

Who doesn't like a good model of the brain? Yet, from simple regression to neural nets, some limitations keep popping up (e.g., overfitting) @mjwolff.bsky.social & I saw some cool but puzzling data, ran a quick analysis & found one such limitation: model mimicry. Now in #naturecommunications &🧵below

So great to see so much OPM-MEG showcased at #FITNG2025! Come see my own contribution demonstrating fetal OPM-MEG with visual stimulation responses at poster P2-H-96. We plan to take this much further in the next few years, also happy to chat about the postdoc or PhD position we have available!

Mixed precision and automatic GPU offloading for Newton solves and stiff ODE solvers has now landed thanks to improvements in LinearSolve.jl. Run LinearSolveAutotune.jl so that things like usage of GPUs in #julialang #sciml becomes automatic! sciml.ai/news/2025/09...

Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date. We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400. Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

Just in: The new and updated version of our preprint (under review in Imaging Neuroscience)! Now with major revisions, including a completely new fMRI dataset! 🧠📈 doi.org/10.1101/2024... Together with @benediktehinger.bsky.social & @judithschepers.bsky.social 🧪 #EEG #fMRI

🧠 Recent article in BPEX This study shows BCI inefficiency in c-VEP BCI, neurophysiological predictors of that inefficiency, and how personalisation can boost performance and comfort. A step toward high-speed, accessible, user-friendly BCI! 📖 doi.org/10.1088/2057... #BCI #Neurotechnology #EEG

Very interesting set of null findings! TL;DR: no direct link between rigorously tested interoception across various domains and mental health. Read the whole thread (and/or preprint!) for nuance behind why there might be a null effect here.

In other news, I am now a ✨ COXI ✨ (cognitive scientist in Osnabrück, Germany) www.uni-osnabrueck.de/en/campus-li... I'll be looking for PhD students & postdocs later this year, so watch this space if combining cognitive modelling, EEG & tFUS to study flexible cognition sounds exciting to you 🚀

Valuable methods work at #ecvp2025! @olaf.dimigen.de draws a crowd talking about the extensive benchmarks he did with our 240 and 480 Hz oled monitors. Preprint 👉 doi.org/10.1101/2024...

🚨 New preprint: Invisible neural frequency tagging (RIFT) for the underfunded researcher: 👉 www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... RIFT uses high-frequency flicker to probe attention in M/EEG with minimal stimulus visibility and little distraction. Until now, it required a costly high-speed projector.

We *think* we know where we look when we're behind the wheel, but that's not the full story! New preprint from @applylab.bsky.social postdoc Jiali Song: "When and where do drivers look when searching for road hazards? Eye movements and hazard localization in dynamic road scenes." Thread: 1/6

Was recently introduced to Brian Marick's Oddly Influenced podcast. It's an amazing mix of ideas connecting software engineering, cognitive psychology and history of science. Highly recommended! Has significantly extended my to-read list. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

#EEGManyLabs website is now live: eegmanylabs.org A home for our global effort to test the replicability of influential EEG findings, share resources, improve methods in cognitive neuroscience, and grow an open, connected community.

I'm certainly a #julialang evangalist, but I've toned it down a bit - a lot of scientists don't have the time or inclination to go against the grain. Then again, when someone makes it this easy... #tidytuesday #rstats nrennie.rbind.io/blog/introdu...

A new preprint from our lab with @zelechowski.bsky.social & @georgkeller.bsky.social ! Using wireless EEG + VR, we recorded visuomotor mismatch responses in freely moving humans. Huge thanks to all participants, Keller Lab members and FMI facilities! Read more: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

LinearSolve.jl just got autotuning 🔥 The problem: picking linear solvers is hardware-dependent voodoo. Solution: automatic benchmarking that tells you EXACTLY what to use. Share the results to improve the system! Details: sciml.ai/news/2025/08/16/linearsolve_autotuning/ #julialang #sciml

A prominent psychology professor was fired for sexual harassment. I know of many cases like this that have gone unreported or people are actively pressured to cover it up. Read the full case and comments here: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Why can we decode visual mental contents from primary visual cortex when all evidence points at the absence of sustained spiking in this part of the brain? Today at #CCN25 poster C104, Noa will present a tentative answer from her work with attractor models. Wish I could’ve been there!
