This piece hit hard for me, as it tracks with why my daughter stopped playing soccer at recess. The boys wouldn't let the girls play with them--only against them and with fewer players. But when girls scored anyway, some boys would cheat and play to hurt the girls, to the point where it wasn't fun.

"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls." time.com/7335723/auto...

stupid #stats question: in our dataset (~150 teenagers), we observe outliers (+/-3SD from the mean). However, we know from larger datasets (n ~ 1500) that their values are credible (the variability in the general population is larger than in our sample). => Do we keep or exclude our 'outliers'?

Ok, development and ethics peeps, I have a testing dilemma for you: A kid comes to the lab to take part in a neuroimaging study (EEG, MRI, cognition) with their mom. Consent is signed (only 1 legal guardian signature is required by ethics). The parents are divorced, the dad freaks out and (1)

Children working in markets in India could solve complex applied math problems, but they couldn't solve easier problems when presented in an academic style. Kids in school had opposite results: good on abstract problems, but terrible on an applied market (i.e., real life) problem.

New preprint ! 🧠 Neural signatures of (nonlinguistic) stream segregation keep maturing from childhood to adulthood. The amplitude of the P400 (one of those "signatures") predicts speech perception in noise - already in kids. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Neural signatures of stream segregation: From childhood to adulthood

When faced with noisy environments, listeners perform auditory scene analysis, which allows them to parse the auditory target from concurrent interferences. Stream segregation involves organizing simi...

Come along to my (free, online) UCL NeuroAI talk next week on neural architectures. What are they good for? All will finally be revealed and you'll never have to think about that question again afterwards. Yep. Definitely that.

I know I’m getting older because Notion makes ZERO sense to me, but the kids today are so fluent with it. I’ve sit down a few times with the only goal to « get good at it », but … I guess I’ll stick to post-it everywhere, all the time
