📢 Excited to share our new paper from Synnöve Carlson’s team! We show how prematurity impacts higher-order brain network dynamics in school-aged children and adolescents:

Gambling in science vol 56: this time I refused to review a paper in MDPI journal as they practice gambling (reviewer has a random chance to obtain reduction on their APC fee).

What do you think? Is this gambling or are you just wrong?

Onko edessä ensimmäinen konferenssi? Etkö oikein tiedä, mitä siellä tapahtuu tai mitä esimerkiksi työpaja tarkoittaa? Ei hätää. Blogissani selitän konferenssiin liittyvää sanastoa.

Miten konferenssiesitelmä eroaa posteriesitelmästä? Tai mitä tarkoittaa konferenssin työpaja? Oma mielikuvani on, että työpajassa korjataan ja rakennetaan tai upotetaan kädet saveen. Konferenssin työp...

1/5 Loot boxes of academic publishing?

A journal asked me to review a paper. The journal "recognizes reviewers’ contributions via APC waivers". If you review 2-4 papers per year, you will get 40% off the (insanely high) pay-to-win (publish) fee.

Basically, this is the same as playing at casino...

Oletko aina tehnyt joulutortut väärin?

Laitetaanpa lusikka tähänkin luumusoppaan. Muotoillaan klassikkoleivonnainen uudelleen, jolloin myös luumumarmeladi on mahdollista levittää tasaisemmin. Näin joka haukkaus maistuu yhtä hyvälle!

1.5 years ago I asked the Finnish Publication Forum to list @imagingneurosci.bsky.social as a new journal. Journals start always on level 0. I asked them to review the journal and they rised it to level 1. Now Finnish university libraries can start to pay APC fees of Imaging Neuroscience finally!

Hey to all the new people here: please write _something_ to your bio (topic of your research, interests etc). Makes it easier to decide to follow back or not.

This is not only to avoid bots but also quite interesting to learn what people are doing!

Mukavaa nähdä eettisen ja epäkaupallisen somen kehittyvän. Seuraavana vuorossa avoimen lähdekoodin TikTok: loops.video

Avoimen lähdekoodin IG meiltä löytyykin jo: pixelfed.org

Ja tietysti Mastodon mementomori.social

Siistiä nähdä, että pian näitä kaikkia voi käyttää päikseen vaikka Threadsista.

Three years from idea to preprint but here it is: a macro-scale model combining functional and structural connectivity matrices of the human brain networks.

This is a technical report so not applied to any clinical data yet.

Päivitetään tämä suomeksikin eli #Minätutkin aivorakenteita ja esitän tässä uuden tavan yhdistää toiminnalliset aivomittaukset aivorakennemalleihin. Toimii ainakin teoriassa tosi hyvin, mutta nähtäväksi jää tuleeko tästä apua Alzheimerin ym. tutkimisessa.

Here is an example in Python how to combine functional and structural #brain connectivity (fc&sc) matrices:

github.com/vilsaira/FSC

Surprisingly simple to apply:
> from fsc import fsc
> fscm = fsc(V=fc, R=sc).get_I()
