One thing I am proud of creating is the #ggseg-universe.
A suite of #rstats packages to plot #brain atlas data.

Its mainly made for inflated cortical surfaces, and contains three main packages:
- ggseg, ggseg3d, ggsegExtra
+ 23 different atlases

Hey #rstats,

Are there any good tricks for deciding on sensible dimensions for a plot when saving it?

Or does everyone just tweak the dimensions in ggsave() until it looks right?

Just published! 🎉 My new blog post tackles the mighty `apply()` function in R. Demystify `MARGIN` and master operations from matrices to 5D neuroimaging data. Say goodbye to loops! 🧠📊

For someone whose head explodes every time she deals with OAuth, I sure do maintain a lot of #rstats code that deals with it.

Why? Because so many things are accessible through APIs and there's just so much to benefit from automating things.

We're building a national application for MRI infrastructure in Norway. Help us make a strong case by completing this survey, whether you're a current user or just interested in the field!

A map of Norway showing the distribution of MRI scanners. Four MRI scanners are placed at different locations across the country. The map is overlaid with two shaded areas: a dark blue area representing a 60-minute travel radius that covers 2.471 million people, and a light blue area representing a 120-minute travel radius that covers 3.510 million people. Arrows show that data from these scanners is uploaded to and stored in a central cloud-based server.

Today I got to vote at home. Given my illness, setting aside energy for voting would be hard, despite being ever more important. But i live in a country where when you are ill, you can register to vote from home. Today two women came, and with a locked box, I could cast my vote.

By wife request, my pet project 'Doughnamo' now also has a page to help you create a flour mix of a certain extraction grade given the flours you have at hand!
