🧠✨How do we rebuild our memories? In our new study, we show that hippocampal ripples kickstart a coordinated expansion of cortical activity that helps reconstruct past experiences.
We recorded iEEG from patients during memory retrieval... and found something really cool 👇(thread)

A lot to reflect on in this must-read essay by Jason Zweig about the surprising (or not surprising) death of Daniel Kahneman.
Essay | The Last Decision by the World’s Leading Thinker on Decisions
Shortly before Daniel Kahneman died last March, he emailed friends a message: He was choosing to end his own life in Switzerland. Some are still struggling with his choice.

There are unfathomably many ways to be a scientist.
Attacks on women and attacks on science go together, and it takes strength across the spectra of gender and science to stop them from breaking us down.

Lots of useful info in this thread if you are backing up public data (whether at OSF or elsewhere)
Hey if anyone is considering backing up any datasets for some reason today, the Open Science Framework has free storage up to 5G/private repository, and up to 50G/public repository.
(The OSF is run by a 501c3 (Center for Open Science), so if you do this you might also consider making a donation.)
