NEW: Starting May 5, NSF will implement an across-the-board 15% indirect cost rate (mirroring policies at DOE, NIH)
Also, NSF staff expect 341 additional terminations today, bringing the total number of terminations to ~1,380.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Many researchers in cognitive neuroscience and deep learning seem to assume that inference in the brain is hierarchical.
Our new Nature Reviews Neuroscience paper questions this assumption and proposes the shallow brain hypothesis.

Great goal for all of us!
Goal:
Every published study from my current lab (est. 2014) will have at least the dataset used for analysis and a procedures manual posted to my OSF profile: osf.io/ajd2i by next year.
Posting publicly for self-accountability!
