Me: Hey LLM (ChatGPT/Claude), refactor this super class into a bunch of components so it's not the one point of failure. Chat/Claude: Sure thing... Chat/Claude: Done! Instead of doing what you asked, I did this much easier problem. What do you want to work on next?

With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world: gershmanlab.com/textbook.html It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class. My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.

Releasing a NIfTI Quick Look tool compatible with macOS 15+. This is necessary since Apple significantly changed those frameworks and broke the (legendary?) Gary Zhang's old NIfTI plugin.

Neuroimaging Resource Alert: The NIH fMRI Summer Course has recorded talks available on YouTube from 2024, 2019, and 2018: fmrif.nimh.nih.gov/index.php/Su... And we're actively working on uploading talks from 2014-2017! #fmri #neuroimaging

Fellow scientists: If you are going to make broad public pronouncements based on your results, please have someone check your math first. The general population is losing faith in science, and reversals like this are a big part of the problem.

You know the "🔹AI Overview" you get on Google Search? I discovered today that it's repeating as fact something I made up 7 years ago as a joke. "Kyloren syndrome" is a fictional disease I invented as part of a sting operation to prove that you can publish any nonsense in predatory journals...

I don't know if it's being added to @micahgallen.com's Cog Neuro starter pack or a real growth of users, but I've seen more new followers today than any time before. I've been in the fields of neuroscience and fMRI methodology for a while. I mostly post about science, mentorship, and job listings.

77 people in the starter pack! What a network! And #protip: if you add #MRI or #MRS to your post, they will automatically show up in the MRISky feed, which is also included in the pack! go.bsky.app/EVqd6pe
