Neuroscientist Dr. Brenda Milner is recognized as one of the fundamental founders of modern cognitive neuropsychology. She proved the hippocampus is essential for forming long-term "declarative" memory (facts, names & events). She was born #OTD in 1918--she's 108 years old today! #WomenInSTEM

On our way to BrainHack and #OHBM2026! Come say hi at poster 2545 next week where I'll present the ElectroTime device for measuring stimulus latency in EEG & MEG
People now submit grant proposals where they've simply fed an LLM the grant guidelines and the name of their project. Reviewing these feels like such a waste of my time.
Her science was a such an inspiration for me in undergrad. Don't assume, observe.
You can now create larger stimulus sets by uploading a zip file. 📦 Also you may notice changes to the look & feel of Meadows! 🎨 Read more in this blogpost: jaspervandenbosch.com/blog/meadows...

If you care about computationally reproducible results but also like notebooks. You probably should ditch jupyter in favor of marimo.
Traditional Python notebooks are stored as JSON, not Python, causing a whole host of problems. For one, ipynb files are hard to use with Git: few character changes can yield enormous git diffs. marimo solves this and more by storing notebooks as pure Python files: www.youtube.com/watch?v=skuI...
