We're suffering from success, our hard drive filled up from all the meta-analyses being run. If you can only view the results on neurovault or if you got a weird error today, that's likely why. Thankfully we have some easy fixes! github.com/neurostuff/n... Keep on meta-analyzing! #meta-analysis

Hi, I am starting my lab at UBC as Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry in May 🎉 Lab website and other stuff are still on the way. Stay tuned 🧠

Very happy that this paper from our lab is now out in @pnas.org! What happens when the *same* person experiences the *same* information with a *different* interpretation? Nearly the whole 🧠—well, at least nearly all association cortex—changes how it represents that information! tinyurl.com/p8chj2j7

Big day for a wee scientist :) #100Citations Thankful for all the publishing opportunities from my late and brilliant supervisor @themindwanders.bsky.social - wish I could celebrate this with you scholar.google.com/citations?us...

excellent piece, and should be required reading for anyone skeptical of the technical capabilities and policy implications of AI. there are certainly exceptions, but by and large, the political left is currently treating what should be a five-alarm fire like a distasteful spectator sport.

The left is missing out on AI

As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right

transformernews.ai

everyone gets to decide for themselves what tools they want to use, and no one is obligated to try to help develop, steer, or regulate any technology, including AI. but remember that refusing to engage doesn't stall the conversation; it just means the people you disagree with get to drive it.
