I'm building an intro to R course to help students get up to speed on the basics. It's called 'R for Nervous Humans'. Modules 1-4 are up now. No interactivity though, for reasons. Feedback welcomed. arcaravaggi.github.io/r-for-nervou... #statistics #rstats

Watercolor and ink brain for cortex cover art submission. Scrapped any effort at realism and went full weird, but this might be the one,

GAH! My R01 is being held up for public access non-compliance for two articles. All articles must be deposited in PubMed Central with zero embargo, but the publisher (in this case Elsevier) sets the embargo time. Has anyone encountered this issue? Open access papers are not embargoed, right? GAH

The only thing more complicated than GitHub in the known universe

@jpeelle.bsky.social this whole montage made me think of when you fell down the stairs,and that shit never gets old

Cover art proposal coming along! Ink and watercolor, plan is to string some symbols flowing between brains but challenge is not to make it cheesy. Out of ink, too

First layer of this watercolor painting submitting as cover art for our cortex special issue on discourse. Trying to do production and comprehension brains talking to each other. No idea if this will work but worth a try

One other fun fact I learned on my colosseum tour in Rome a few weeks ago is that the only movie ever actually filmed in the colosseum was Enter the Dragon when a young Chuck Norris fought Bruce Lee on the arena floor

Has anyone done the most simple case of hyperscanning (eeg or fnirs) where two people are continuously recorded during a staring contest? This seems like a good control condition for conversation but I’m likely wrong

I tried to make a joke about syntax but I was warned that I was out of order.

It’s days like this 45 degrees dark and raining dogs getting rammy for their walk that I want to drop them at the pound and come back in a few months when the weather is better and pick up two better dogs. That reminds me of my rent-a-cat business for people with mice problems

I love reading 1950s Luria-era cognitive neuropsychological case studies — Patient JR was kicked by a horse and now he can’t walk backwards or tell time - gets the cover of Brain

Visited Claudio Luzzatti's dept in Milan this week was saddened to hear he passed. His classic paper on representational neglect (>2k citations) was a case study of RBD patient could only identify landmarks on R side of the Piazza del Duomo in mental imagery. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Sitting next to an 8ish year old and his British family in the hotel restaurant. He’s never had pineapple juice before and has been talking about it for 30 minutes. Parents keep trying to change the subject but keeps coming back to it. It’s hilarious

Just took a souped up tour of the colosseum. It was incredible, fascinating, all great things. Most illuminating is that my knowledge of this place was almost entirely informed by Gladiator — which it turns out was not quite right

For Rare Disease Day, we’re flipping the page back to the basics of FTD. FTD doesn’t always look the way people expect. It can change personality, language, or movement. It’s often mistaken for Alzheimer’s disease, depression, or a psychiatric condition. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4aOwCpM

The brutalism bot made me late for work today. I started sketching this fast and then tried to fix a bunch of perspective errors - gotta stop and go to work!

But an itch ain’t one. I’m sorry I could not resist this
