Today is a major milestone in this study examining a single subject’s trajectory of healing, ft. @jpeelle.bsky.social and his love of intensive longitudinal everything: MRI, high+low density EEG, fNIRS, EMA, and more Way to go and good luck today, Jonathan!! 🚀

Many brain imaging “biomarkers” for autism have been proposed. Most aim for balanced accuracy (matching sensivity/specificity) on datasets where cases and controls are split 50/50. 1/🧵

Official ad to follow It's a big research-active dept with fun colleagues, plus you can commute to uni on a boat, paired with a pleasant walk thru Albert Park (this pic from heading home today)

{truffle} is an R package for teaching users to process data. Semi-realistic psychological datasets with predetermined effects (via `truffles_` functions) are then hidden in common data processing headaches (via `dirt_` functions) for students to clean and analyze. mmmdata.io/posts/2025/0...

I am happy to announce that I am nearly caught up on all the work I had from Spring semester and boy am I ready for summer vacation what's that you say

An explosion in open-neuroscience datasets has created a new generation of researchers with expertise in data science. But new restrictions put our research programs in jeopardy, writes Elvisha Dhamala @elvisha.bsky.social. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/open-neurosc...

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

Wow: tenure letter writers’ publication records (h-index) are better predictors of tenure decisions than candidates’ own publication record.

Other paper-writing realities include: “The most important element of a paper is the title—think of the ratio of the number of titles you read to the number of papers you read.” “The abstract is, for most readers, the only part of the paper that will be read.” pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Always be wary of: 1) test > train performance 2) great accuracy predicting cognition from brain data (okay, #2 is less strict, but we do tend to see modest performance predicting cognitive scores in humans)

Nice tips and conversation in here for promotion letter writing

"Science is not just something I do; it’s a core facet of who I am. If science is taken from me, an important piece of me will be gone."- @feliciatuchman.bsky.social @sciforgood.bsky.social Bravo, friend! So well done. We can't just switch off what inspires us, especially when it is under attack.

Brenda Milner just turned 107. Happy birthday! On my very first day as a PI at the MNI, she was right in front of me in the cafeteria line. She was already nearly 100, and still coming to work. What a legend.

Numbers on how much we’re seeing a decrease in both non-competitive (i.e., continuations of existing award) and moreso new grants.

Oh wow...everything old really is new again. In the early days of search engines (think HotBot, Alta Vista, Ask Jeeves etc), website developers would often trick them into giving their sites higher rankings by adding a bunch of key words/phrases into the site as white text on a white background.

Excited for #ASSC and presenting some of our lab’s recent projects on LLM introspection and on what visual features make mental images vivid. 🧵 #consciousness

This remains an incredible case of red state Attorney Generals preferring loyalty to Trump over the material outcomes of their citizens. Trump illegally cut off resources to their universities and state economies and they were fine with it.

I had a heartbreaking conversation with a talented trainee who spent 1 month on their Hanna Gray application (only have that program canceled after submission). Followed by a pep talk. And an insightful brainstorm around the Q: how can we (professors) do better for trainees in uncertain times?

Woo great news! We’re lucky to have you 💪🏽

It might not be immediately apparent to someone who's not faculty working full-time in a specific research area, but there's a huge amount of junk out there that looks very similar to quality research. LLMs struggle to avoid it. It gums up the results for Elicit, Consensus, etc.
