New issue of Nature - with NINE studies on #brain #development from the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) 🧠🧪🔬

An amazing set of resources for all scientists working on the brain!

And that’s what still makes it so attractive to me

While I’m somewhat disillusioned with the scientific world because of its systemic pressures and abuses, which, to be fair, can be found everywhere else, it’s also the (only) world where such self-criticism and rigorous examination of its own problems is possible.

I couldn't be more on board with this. Focusing on corruption/fraud/misconduct at the level of individual scientist appears to be misguided and counterproductive when systemic forces and selection biases are at play. This appears to be true even beyond the context of industry manipulation.

🚀 We’re hiring!

Dans un contexte où la #Reproductibilité est clé pour la crédibilité de la science, ces journées rassemblent des scientifiques pour tenter de reproduire des études publiées. 👏
Bravo à toutes et tous !

Viens aussi découvrir aujourd’hui pendant l’ #OpenLab 14-18h (même endroit)

A sensitivity analysis of preprocessing pipelines: toward a solution for multiverse analyses with @melanieganzben1.bsky.social et al. Basically, adapting meta-analysis tools accountting for the correlations between pipelines direct.mit.edu/imag/article...

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Elodie Germani, Camille Maumet, et al:

On the validity of fMRI mega-analyses using data processed with different pipelines

1/11 Excited to share our @Naturestudy led by @leonooi.bsky.social @csabaorban.bsky.social @shaoshiz.bsky.social

AI performance is known to scale with logarithm of sample size (Kaplan 2020), but in many domains, sample size can be # participants or # measurements...

🤔 You’d like to share your research code but not sure how to…?

🔓*Very* excited to finally share this work led by @nicolasrougier.bsky.social in which we propose a practical set of guidelines for opening code.

On this day 2y ago we announced our move away from the huge profits that NeuroImage makes for Elsevier.

Things at Imaging Neuroscience have progressed fantastically thanks to the support for this move by the brain imaging community and @mitpress.bsky.social. 565 papers published already!

1. Can you figure out where I was standing when I took this picture?

ChatGPT could. Given the photograph (scrubbed of all header information), the new chain of thought model, ChatGPT o.3, was able to pinpoint the location with a few meters.

👉 👈 Meta announced that they're changing their models to reduce "left-leaning [political] bias"--that means leaning them to the political "right". Lots to unpack about what that might mean. So I ran a quick "shot in the dark" study...and found a *political right* bias in Meta models. Some notes.🧵

🧠 We have measured the speed of thought

Researchers measured human thought at 10 bits/s – far slower than our sensory systems, which gather 1 billion bits/s, equivalent to streaming 125 MB of data per second.

Another large-scale replication study that doesn't improve our understanding of anything. I know this is harsh but at some point we need to start asking questions that matter and focus on study quality and theoretical models instead of automatically replicating results in flashy mega-studies.

And in case you thought Paw Patrol was just cute pups, it’s actually a hyperactive speed cartoon that might have negative impacts on your child’s brain (link.springer.com/article/10.1...)

And @afni-pt.bsky.social is now on Bluesky!

BIDS ‪@bidsstandard.bsky.social‬ is an great example of a community-driven data standard. Nice to see that the community governance model is going strong!
