Seems as good a time as any to re-share the "OpenLists" collection - an openly accessible set of lists of available resources in / for Cognitive Neuroscience!

Includes open M/EEG & iEEG datasets & open software / analysis tools, and resources for DSP, Python, git, etc:

Excited to share my first 1st & corresponding author preprint!

Here, I examine an EEG component, the Reward Positivity (RewP), during inference-based decision-making w/Holly Crowder, Peter Kakalec, Lam Duong, Craig McDonald, & Jim Thompson.
