but that’s fine. It served a useful function at the time in getting people to think about potential informational value in P-values - it just was too crude an approach, so stimulated development of other methods. Can we have a “z-curve for dummies” explainer to improve take-up?

A recent systematic review from our group with great collaborators on fNIRS usage in Poststroke Patients With Upper Limb Hemiplegia. @neuroccino.bsky.social @franziklein.bsky.social #fNIRS #stroke #review ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/doc...

»“Success to get off the pad, and lots of data already obtained,” said ESA director general Josef Aschbacher following the failure. “I am sure Isar Aerospace will learn a lot. Rocket launch is hard. Never give up, move forward with even more energy!”«

Interesting trial. Especially interesting to note that the SMD between the AI chatbot and waitlist is equivalent to the SMD between face-to-face psychotherapy and waitlist. If psychotherapy is «remarkably effective», then so is the AI chatbot.

What the actual fuck:

This is Wrong On So Many Levels!!!

How #democracy transforms to #autocracy: lessons from the #NurembergTrials. The transcripts from the Nuremberg Trials and the defendants' statements help us understand how the democratic Weimar Republic transformed into a totalitarian Third Reich. Below is a thread with selected excerpts. 1/n

🚨This week, many Columbia scientists lost grants that funded over half their annual income. Others will no longer be able to do research that helps treat thousands of sick patients across the US. "It hurts," they told me. My story for @nature.com 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

In medicine, "AI safety" would include concerns that tools based on gen AI and machine learning don't cause harm to patients, which they very much can and do.

German conservatives set to dominate the government are sadly heading towards a policy that defies all odds for better mental health of refugees, pushing to block family reunions of recognised refugees.

𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 We’re happy to announce fNIRS UK 2025 is taking place in Cambridge on the 18th & 19th of September 2025, so please save the date! Submission deadline: 31st May 2025, more information coming soon on the abstract and workshop submission on the website: fnirsuk.gitlab.io

‘Be quiet’ und ‘say thank you’, es gibt in dieser Regierung nur eine Devise: Der Ober sticht den Unter. Wir sollten uns von der Illusion verabschieden, dass die USA unter Trump noch in Kategorien von Freunden und Partnern denken. Die NATO als transatlantische Allianz ist effektiv tot.

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

Die Grenze zwischen Konservatismus und extremer Rechter ist --- gerade in Deutschland --- nicht sauber zu ziehen. #Merz zeigt es. Versteht man Konservatismus als Primat des Bewahrens, so fällt Konservativen der radikale Bruch mit allen Aspekten des nationalsozialistischen Erbes schwer. (1/2)

It says a lot about the current funding crisis affecting UK universities when Wales' biggest university proposes to close its Nursing course to save money, at a time when the NHS is desperate for more nurses.

New preprint! 🚀 Happy to share our #fNIRS #neurofeedback study with #Parkinson's patients & healthy older adults. Despite COVID-19 challenges, we completed 4 sessions with 3 groups (N=19 each). Huge thanks to all involved! 💪 Read here: osf.io/preprints/ps... 😊

No need to say that the ICN is a pioneering institution. I had the privilege to start my academic career there during my first doctorate in London. Incredible to see the development of so many academic peers who are now qualified to start their own group at the ICN - good luck to anyone who applies!

Diskussionswürdig. Ich habe einen Aufschlag gemacht (s. Kommentar).

Yes!!! The review I've been looking for! Rapid-acting antidepressants like ketamine, electroconvulsive therapy, and noninvasive stimulation (TMS) are thought to work by enhancing plasticity, but how, exactly? Grateful to @alexkwan.bsky.social and team for summarizing the evidence in this review.

@briannosek.bsky.social just stumbled over this Interview with Brian Nosek on recent turmoults in the German weekly newspaper @zeit.de , worth reading in.

New blog post: Seven basic rules for causal inference: pedermisager.org/blog/seven_b..., in which I state the most basic ways that causal relationships can produce correlation, and provide R code to demonstrate how each rule plays out in data.

I am writing a paper on when and how to deviate from a preregistration (building on my 2019 paper linking preregistration to the severity of a test). If anyone has papers I might have missed on how often people deviate, and why, (beyond Claesen, 2019 and Den Akker, 2023), let me know!

Happy to see our work on estimating causal connectivity from pairwise recordings and widefield opto-stimulation finally published in PLOS Computational Biology. Work lead by Mikkel Lepperød, co-authored by Torkel Hafting, Marianne Fyhn and @kordinglab.bsky.social. journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

I like bsky but lots of AI/ML still happens at X (99% of it super annoying). An attempt to filter: I recommend this didactic & informative talk by Andrej Karpathy (karpathy.ai) explaining LLMs, their future & security risks (relevant for any user): www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjkB... 🧠🟦 🧠🤖 #MLsky

I have been a bit bored over Christmas, so I started working on a little blog post about good academic writing for my group. I was wondering, what are key things you have learned about academic writing that you wish you would have known earlier?  🧪 #AcademicSky
