LLM PR is "impressive" in that it picks up a lot of the issues that human reviewers do. Or at least, the issues that humans do based on a quick read. And that's the problem with both human and LLM reviews. They respond mostly to surface level. In humans because of time pressure, in LLMs by design.

Interested in how we make preference-driven decisions, and how this is implemented in the brain?
We report that neural correlates of evidence accumulation (CPP, Mu/Beta) are also observed during value-based decisions.

thank you for listening to my EEG TED talk! (the vibes from these chairs 😅).
we ran a MNE-python tutorial for >100 people for a week. the program going from preprocessing to source estimation to group analysis was ambitious, but I hope seeing all the steps involved was helpful for participants. 🙂

having run an MEG pipeline by trial and error, I was doubting myself between all parameters. lectures on the analysis steps + hands-on application together were very helpful!
