Infinitely worse for non-U.S. citizens of course.
This is why U.S. citizens must stand up and do what we can

I call that a great story 😊

@earlkmiller.bsky.social , for those of us that don't know, make us happy and tell us the story of what this scholarship is and how it came about.
It sounds awesome ☺️

This sounds great! Well done on doing it.
I'm part of a team crowd sourcing a database of examples of societal benefits due to federally funded science

if you get a chance, send us an idea and we'll write it up into the database!
A title and a link are enough to get us going 😊

Searchable database of tangible benefits that federally-funded research gave us.
A crowd-sourced site. Health and Well-being. National Security. Prosperity.

You can make up your mind, as marked by nTc, long before you report a decision. And that nTc moment is not timelocked to any external referents (like the onset of the decision report).
Instead, nTc is a covert signal. Internal to the brain.
It was one of the brain's secrets... now revealed.

That confirmed that in nTc, Thomas and Tim had found a neural marker of decision commitment (a.k.a. "making up your mind").

They dubbed the estimated moment of the turn "nTc" and predicted that sensory inputs after nTc should not affect the animal's decision. They tested their prediction.
And whoa... the data (black), while noisy, matched the prediction (green) really well.

🤔.. when are you no longer sensitive to inputs? *When you've already made up your mind*.
Thomas and Tim figured that if they could pinpoint the time of the turn, then they could pinpoint the time the animal made up its mind. They developed a method to precisely estimate the moment of turning.

Recording in decision-making regions from many neurons at once revealed the neurons' collective evolution as decisions were made
Each decision had two phases: first, neural state was sensitive to sensory inputs; then, trajectories in neural state space turned and became insensitive to inputs.
