Has anyone in the #fnirs community tried this? It looks promising

Rethinking #fNIRS quality control 🔎 Guglielmini et al. (2026) present DL-QC-fNIRS, a CNN-based tool using cardiac-band wavelet scalograms for automated channel-wise quality control. 93% accuracy and stronger F1 scores than traditional metrics. 📖 doi.org/10.1117/1.NP...

Apparently I have a small but growing following of limnologists (I had to look that up), have I been added to a list of limnology researchers without knowing it?

I've been promoted to Associate Professor and awarded tenure! Thanks to my students, colleagues, and mentors for helping me on this journey!

Longitudinal Surface-Based Morphometry Changes in the Hippocampus in Dementia

The hippocampus is central to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), characterized by atrophy and cognitive decline. While volume loss is well-documented, surface-…

🧠 New preprint alert! @carleton-cogsci.bsky.social PhD student Salah Aziz and our fantastic team tracked hippocampal changes over time in >1,300 individuals using surface-based morphometry (SBM). Here's what we found—and why it matters for Alzheimer’s research 🧵 [1/]

Definitely looking forward to trying this method!

Excited to share our new Nature Methods paper on DeepCor, a contrastive autoencoder for denoising fMRI. DeepCor separates neural signal from noise at the voxel level, works for single participants, and outperforms CompCor by up to 215% on real data. 1/7 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

@getcoldturkey.com i love your software & have tried it successfully myself. Have you had thoughts about a version teachers/professors could ask students to install & the timer is synchronized (everyone starts and stops at the same time) and the file gets saved to a common location?

I was asked to give a guest lecture this morning for the Health Sciences Department on brain aging @carleton.ca. Sometimes it's really neat to speak to people outside your usual bubble (in my case, Psychology/Cognitive Science). Students across many fields are doing such cool and interesting work!

I've changed my approach to reading & reviewing papers. Rather than reading on my computer, I read on my e-ink device (supernote) & mark them up there, then they're synchronized back to my computer, where I summarize the notes in a document. This has been much better for close reading! #academia

Reading applications for NSERC/OGS, I think there should be a course on how to write excellent letters of recommendation. Some things shouldn't be brought up in LORs (they are actively detrimental or irrelevant). Positive points should be concrete. LORs that are too short aren't helpful. #academia

Very cool - and useful for generating predictions/simulations based on pilot data (if you think the pilot data is representative)

Hi #canadian researchers - please sign this petition to help ensure funding isn’t cut to tri council agencies (NSERC, SSHRC, and CIHR). We’re looking at potential 15% cuts to ALL federal spending including grants win.newmode.net/canadianasso...

Teaching graduate statistics is such a wonderful experience - I love being in the position where I can say here are all these cool resources, here's what you can do, here's how to do good science #academicsky #R

Fantastic #AAIC session on Language as a Lens chaired by Dr. Marco Calabria and Dr. Boon Lead Tee. This was such an exciting session & I love the integration of new technology and tools for assessing language and its relation to dementia and cognition.

We are looking to hire a new post-bac MRI tech! Great opportunity pre grad school! umd.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/UMCP/job/Uni...

I wonder if #AI will close academic discourse even further as people mistrust people they don’t already know. We were already being flooded with papers pre-A.I., now we need a way to verify quality in an era when the internet is being hit with a tsunami of content. #academia

Would it be possible to have ONE sign on for all journals? It would be absolutely glorious to have a single place to submit, track your review assignments etc. Going through the dance of what's your password for Elsevier/Cambridge/Sage etc journal X, reset, login every time is getting old. #academia

The Royal Society is offering £4 million per researcher for scientists in the USA who want to move to the UK. The money offered is £30 million in all for all the Fellowships. These Faraday Fellowships are for 5 to 10 years.

To any international #U.S. bound students who may have had their lives upturned by recent events, please consider #Carleton, consider #Canada. I am open to applications from graduate students #academia.

My mac has started making an ominous clicking noise - time to make sure the Time Machine backup is current…

Looks very cool, would also be useful for studying older adults

Great to see some of the lab’s first #fNIRS data come through (this is HbO2 for a 2-Back -1-Back contrast)

Saw this quotation the other day & it resonates “You need to be brave enough to be bad at something new.” I may pin this one to my office door

Every year I get to write an annual report. Inevitably I start tackling this only grudgingly, but then, as I start to fill this out, I see the incredible work the team has accomplished over the past year which is humbling and inspiring. This year was great, I can’t wait for next year! #academia

grades submitted 🙂 and once again, this Excel/Google Spreadsheets formula saves me so much time: =IFS(AA2>=90, "A+", AA2>=85, "A", AA2>=80, "A-", AA2>=77, "B+", AA2>=73, "B", AA2>=70, "B-", AA2>=67, "C+", ...)

This is unbelievable…

Wow, we are now being officially advised against travel to the USA by the Canadian Association of University Teachers. I never thought I'd see the day. ☹️ #AcademicChatter

Well done to members of the CANAL lab! Fantastic representation at Carleton’s Cognitive Science Student Conference @carleton-cogsci.bsky.social , @carletonfass.bsky.social

What a fantastic Cognitive Science Conference! I’m so inspired by the dedication and incredible productivity and passion our students have! @carleton-cogsci.bsky.social

Now this is exciting!

🚨New Preprint Alert!🚨 We just dropped a new paper on medRxiv that uses machine learning to rethink how we diagnose cognitive decline — and the results are 🔥. Let’s talk about brain data, hidden clusters, and how we might catch dementia before it’s diagnosed. 🧵👇 📄 doi.org/10.1101/2025...
