WOW so proud to see our work out on @plos.org Computational Biology 🎉 Please let me introduce you our new #OpenSource toolbox for circular permutation testing of #BrainBody interactions. 🤝 @teresaberther.bsky.social & @danlikesbrains.bsky.social 🔗 journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... 1/6

Robust circular cluster-based statistics for respiration-brain coupling

Author summary Conventional best-practice statistical approaches have so far been difficult to implement in cases where the underlying data are circular, for example in the analysis of phase data. Suc...

A court in München sentenced that suno.ai used without permission copyrighted material to train their generative music model. Gema, the German society for musical performing and mechanical reproduction rights, obtained this result in a quite a smart way... 1/4 www.sueddeutsche.de/projekte/art...

AI boosters like to claim it'll help ⬇️ fossil fuel emissions They've been silent on AI ⬆️efficiency in finding & extracting fossil fuels Turns out enabled emissions fr fossil fuel productivity gains EXCEED avoided emissions fr renewables productivity gains whenever fossil-sector gains are nonzero

AI’s potential climate benefits outweighed by role in boosting fossil fuels, study finds

Modelling finds AI-driven productivity gains in coal, oil and gas enable more emissions than applications in renewables avoid

Our new paper, now published in @natcomms.nature.com , asks a simple question: when two tasks share a common structure, does the brain learn them more efficiently? Surprisingly, this was not the case. Thread below (1/7) rdcu.be/eSwvU

The effects of task similarity during representation learning in brains and neural networks

Nature Communications - Here, the authors show learning tasks with similar structures can initially cause interference and slow down learning, but both the brain and artificial networks gradually...

'Robust circular cluster-based statistics for respiration-brain coupling' New preprint, and what a way to welcome @teresaberther.bsky.social to the #neuroskyence community. With @eliobalestrieri.bsky.social, she developed CBPT for circular #bodybrain analyses. Paper: osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧵🔽

Together with Teresa Berther, @martinasaltafossi.bsky.social, @eliobalestrieri.bsky.social, and @ualsbombe.bsky.social, we have developed a pipeline which uses IAAFT-based respiration time series surrogates to then adapt gold-standard cluster permutation testing for circular (phase-binned) data.

These two projects have been brewing for a long time, and we’re thrilled to finally share them. Huge thanks to collaborators/friends for their work and patience: Clayton Hickey, Giorgio Coricelli, @eliobalestrieri.bsky.social and Damiano Grignolio.

What a great SciComm initiative by the Italian science community in Germany! 👏 Bringing kids closer to science in their native language 🥹🇮🇹 love that!

Roberta Colapietro@robertacolapie.bsky.social · last yr.

We did it! The very first Native Scientist workshop for Italian kids in Cologne was a success 🇮🇹 41 Italian-speaking children explored the wonders of science through hands-on experiments in their heritage language 🧑‍🔬

It sounds weird but... I somehow feel you.

Aaaand the paper is out on Imaging Neuroscience! 🤩 To learn about cool new (and old) features to be used in classifying M-EEG brain states, check it out: doi.org/10.1162/imag... Big thanks to all the co-authors and the reviewers for their great input 🫶

Elio Balestrieri@eliobalestrieri.eurosky.social · 2y ago

Excited to share the first preprint of my postdoc! We explored a novel features space to describe M-EEG timeseries. These features are highly informative in differentiating brain states, even more than canonical features like power in predefined frequency bands! :D www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

You asked for it...

Did anyone use correlations for a temporal generalisation analysis? I have a hard time finding something, but it seems straight forward (and symmetric) for my problem at hand. I want to do encoding, not decoding analyses. Pointers greatly appreciated ! #eeg

This new flow of people to BS is heartwarming... Welcome everybody! Let's show that an alternative to X is possible!

An enlightening read!

Who needs more neural manifolds? In my opinion: everyone! This was a fun article to write, thanks to @thetransmitter.bsky.social and @emilytransmitter.bsky.social for making it happen! #neuroskyence #compneurosky #neuroAI

The third #preprint in 3 months, what a sequence! In this work first-authored by @janafehring.bsky.social, we probe new features characterizing cortical hierarchy and its changes through the #lifespan. Check it out! :D #neuroscience #neuroskyence

Jana Fehring@janafehring.bsky.social · 2y ago

Excited to share this preprint in which we find individual and robust neurophysiological markers of cortical hierarchy and highlight the dynamic nature of the brain's organization throughout life :) biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...
