How can the brain create countless unique memories using a single, universal metric of space? We’ve been waiting for the answer to this for two decades!

New blog post!
Ever wonder what geom_histogram is actually doing? How about geom_boxplot?
In celebration of the release of #ggplot2 4.0.0 (ggplot8?), I explore the relationships between the “geoms” and “stats” offered by the core {ggplot2} functions.

Mastering typefaces and fonts in #rstats has always been harder than it should.
I have tried to collect much of my relevant knowledge in this deep-dive blog post so you can spend your time picking the right typeface instead of cursing at the computer

Fonts in R
Taking control of fonts and text rendering in R can be challenging. This deep-dive teaches you everything (and then some) you need to know to keep your sanity

I promised to write about my thoughts on the status of the field of neuroAI, some of the big challenges we are facing, and the approaches we are taking to address them. This is super selective on the topic of finding a good model but in my view it affects the field as a whole. Here we go. 🧵

📊When teaching or giving a talk, do you like presenting plots step by step, revealing e.g. one group at a time? This is often useful for walking through complex results.
