New paper with @bernhardspitzer.bsky.social, investigating WM through small eye movements. We found that, even during attempted fixation, gaze patterns not only reflect memory content but also capture its dynamic evolution over time.

After months of piloting and optimization, we are finally seeing high-quality recordings of tVNS-induced pupil dilation. @akuehnel.bsky.social also set up an automated QC report with several plots and is too humble to brag about it.

This review paper argues for something I have long expected: that intracranial blood pressure pulsatility directly links cardiorespiratory rhythms to neural firing! www.imrpress.com/journal/JIN/...

A beautifully-illustrated read, taking you through neat microstructure modeling techniques used to extract exquisite tissue properties from seemingly-minimally-featured diffusion MRI signals!

Fantastic but very worrisome work by Sami Hamdan:

Confound removal in machine learning can itself lead to leakage

-> After information about the target from the features using standard approaches you can STILL predict it well

Dont forget yall: retweet the shit you like. It is genuinely criticial that you interact with things on here because there IS no algorithm. I know you have the habit of never touching anything from twitter but you need to abandon it and adopt liking and retweeting en masse
