If LLMs are increasingly used for data analysis, should we worry that they might encourage p-hacking? A recent preprint suggests that the answer may be yes, at least in relatively complex analytical pipelines. I share some personal experience here 👇 www.linkedin.com/posts/stefan...

You know you _really_ don't want to be doing something when you procrastinate from it by answering reviewers and emails.

Folda Guðlaugsdóttir:Ég valdi sálfræði af því að mig langaði að skilja betur hegðun og hugsun fólks og byggja það á vísindalegum grunni. Mér finnst sérstaklega áhugavert hvernig hægt er að nota sálfræðilega þekkingu í raunverulegum aðstæðum, til dæmis til þess að styðja við fólk og bæta líðan þess.

Happy to announce the 3rd iteration of NEAT (Neuro-AI-Talks), which will take place in Osnabrück September 14th-15th 2026. NEAT is a (deliberately small scale) NeuroAI workshop that brings together researchers from neuroscience and AI. www.kietzmannlab.org/neat2026/ More information below 👇

My daughter just told me that she and her friends are going out to do ding dong dash -- are you supposed to tell your parents that? 😆 And then some dude chased them and now she is going to attempt to bribe him?! This is not how I remember things being done 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My paper with @mikearcaro.bsky.social exploring the organization of the visual system in newborn infants is now out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social !

Day 1 of old age -- 4👀👀 yet again.

Though not without their flaws, Universities they have *already* done more to drive economic development and innovation than pretty much any other human institution, and that's in addition to creating informed citizens and otherwise enriching the human experience. The evidence for this is...

Alas, it has come to this. I believe I have reached the age of reading glasses.

Abstract submission for WMS2026 (July 14th-17th) is now open! If you are an early career researcher of working memory, please let us hear about your cool work by submitting your abstract (forms.gle/MccRLJC1xXQ3...). Deadline is May 31st.

I am so happy to have been a part of this + @antonlukashevich.bsky.social The study is actually immensely important IMO. So many studies have been designed under the assumption that the link between CDA and individual differences in memory is large and robust. We find that this is not the case. 1/N

When me and my #psych friends were undergrads, we were tasked to do the annual promo day for our dept. One of the things we did is we found a mirror and dumped a massive amount (amound, in this case) of flour on it as "all of Freud's cocaine". Now I am head of same dept and can't do this anymore :(

Ah, more anti-intellectualism, how fun. I will continue to boycott the U.S., which makes me so sad. Miss you all. #science

BOLD is not a simple monotonic readout of local firing. Instead, it reflects the net activity of two opposing neural populations. Interpreting it may require modeling their latent composition, not just overall activity. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience

"Once the diverse abundance of [Arousal⁺ & Arousal⁻] populations across brain regions is considered, neurovascular coupling becomes consistent across the brain: it is described by a single model with two HRFs that are similar across regions" Super interesting work by @agnesland.bsky.social et al! 👇

I don't know what conniption means but this also gives me conniption by proxy.

Everyone knows this graph. I tried to clean it up/ make it modern. Attention some dataloss is unavoidable. github.com/koerding/dop...

Don't work in this area and can't vet claims about the study, so am curious what others think. Generally, the core argument Chris appears to make—breaking the blind is a fatal flaw for any RCT—appears similar to the argument we've made about using psychedelics for treating mental health problems.

Ég er búin að eyða síðustu sex klukkustundum lífs míns í að sortera, mynda og verðleggja föt 💀💀💀 -- held að ég sé kominn með harðsperrur af því. Þannig að nenniði plís að kaupa þetta dótarí? Því mig vantar að rýma fyrir fleiri fötum 😅😅😅🫢 hringekjan.is/collections/... #hringekjan #secondhand

A cortical hierarchical mechanism for subjective visual experience during working memory www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... via @hakwan.bsky.social on mental imagery; "hierarchy from IPS to EVC is critical for conscious mental visualization of memory content during WM maintenance"; #neuroscience

This preprint is about this! THIS!! Mindblowing.

I have now read this paper and it's great -- and it also provides evidence more generallu for a visual object space axis code in human ventral temporal cortex. #visionscience #neuroskyence

Lazarus rises! Stay tuned for more tales of the #Plantichrist

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Trump’s proposed swingeing budget cuts for every branch of science has been described as an “extinction level event for science”. Looks like he’s taking the US back to the Stone Age too, only without the bombing,

No idea what number this entry is so N/N, but I have been listening a lot to Cure for Paranoia's 2025 album Work of A.R.T., barely know the genre, hip hop/rap maybe? It's good shit. #music #cureforparanoia youtu.be/3mlSPVA1r0E?...

I use AI. I find it immensely helpful. I have however recently realized that it takes away my voice in some sense. This is a thought-provoking piece.

Deadline in 3 days (Thursday 5th) to apply for a PhD with me and @ktsetsos.bsky.social at Trinity College Dublin in Cognitive Computational Neuroscience / neuro-AI. Please share!

The rest of this grant proposal is left as an exercise to the reader to exert their imagination.

And so it begins... 3 UK universities (Essex, Sussex & Kent) have just gone public about walking away from their Elsevier Read & Publish deals, despite Jisc's recently announced agreement. Expect to see more of these over the coming months. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/three-m... #OpenAccess

Ah let's check what Orange Demented Man has said and done today. Aha, I see that he is mixing my country #Iceland with the one next door, Greenland. Lovely, lovely. Cool cool cool cool cool.

Terrible news from my alma mater, Brown University 💔 This is absolutely gut wrenching. America, I feel for you and I am so sorry about what is happening to you all. #brownuniversity

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Doctoral defenses are such a joyous occasion, let alone when the new Ph.D. is one of my own. Congratulations dear Anton 😊😊😊😊😊😊 It was a pleasure to work with you -- my colleage and my friend 🤗

Iceland, you are beautiful sometimes, I will give you that #aurora #auroraborealis #northernlights
