Looking for a Python toolbox to analyze your mobile eye-tracking data collected with @pupil-labs.bsky.social Neon? Meet PyNeon, our open-source toolbox designed to streamline the analysis of such novel data! Check out the paper in @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social's BRM: doi.org/10.3758/s134... ...

PyNeon: A Python package for the analysis of Neon multimodal mobile eye-tracking data - Behavior Research Methods

Mobile eye-tracking has revolutionized the study of human behavior and cognition by enabling researchers to record eye movements in the real world. However, the dynamic and multimodal nature of mobile eye-tracking data also introduces significant analytical challenges, including the alignment, integration, and interpretation of complex data. To fill these gaps, we present PyNeon, a versatile, community-oriented Python package designed to streamline the analysis of mobile eye-tracking, motion, and video data from the Neon eye-tracking system (Pupil Labs GmbH). We describe how PyNeon provides accessible APIs for reading, preprocessing, epoching, and exporting Neon data. Furthermore, it supports advanced video processing such as mapping between eye movement data and real-world coordinates and dynamic scanpath estimation. PyNeon presents an open-source and extendable framework for analyzing mobile eye-tracking data and forms the foundation for higher-level applications.

Now out in PNAS! Using a double-blind sham-controlled design, we found that BCI-based neurofeedback lets humans learn to switch cortical states and remarkably, this trained neural control generalizes to actual movement, improving reaction times. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #EEG #oscillations

Brain–computer interface–based neurofeedback training enables transferable control of cortical state switching in humans | PNAS

Behavioral flexibility relies on transient neural dynamics that govern cortical state transitions. However, whether humans can deliberately learn t...

RFK JR: ADD, ADHD, Tourette syndrome, Narcolepsy, Autism.. All of these are injuries that I never heard of when I was a kid.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

Must be proud of his legacy.
