📢 We're hiring: Charter Hall Senior Research Fellow - #Neuroscience of #Ageing & #Dementia | Help shape healthier futures for older adults. 📆 Closes 24 Mar 2026 💰 $147,138–$169,011 + 17% Super 🌎 Visa sponsorship available 👉 Apply now: lnkd.in/gKX_XR8r @westernsydneyu.bsky.social

This paper had a pretty shocking headline result (40% of voxels!), so I dug into it, and I think it is wrong. Essentially: they compare two noisy measures and find that about 40% of voxels have different sign between the two. I think this is just noise!

An abbreviation (ABB) in a journal article (JA) or Grant Application (GA) is rarely worth the words it saves. Every ABB requires cognitive resources (CR) and at my age by the time I'm halfway through a JA or GA I no longer have the CR to remember what your ABB stood for.
