Fresh from the BBL, don't miss the newest by Chan, @pkvu.bsky.social , @dimitrivdv.bsky.social, @elliemorgenroth.bsky.social et al. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Individual Differences of Cortical and Subcortical Emotion‐Informed Functional Gradients

Emotion-informed functional gradients, computed from emotion-annotated fMRI frames, provide increased control over inter-subject synchronization in comparison to resting state fMRI. This flexibility ...

It's also surprising how scientists in general are still stuck on the idea that "top tier" journals are an appropriate means of disseminating/valuating research findings. I am myself guilty of this but it still surprises me. The behaviour of for-profit publishers less so...🤷

I skew towards keeping mistakes in the scientific literature because identifying & correcting mistakes is part of healthy scientific discourse, but a core finding that rests on clearly wrong data (papers that had references, but were logged as not having references) feels retraction-worthy.

In 2023, @nature.com published 'Papers and patents are becoming less disruptive over time', receiving world-wide media attention. Our Matters Arising, published after a 32 month delay (more on that soon), shows that the reported decline can largely be attributed to dataset artefacts. 🧵

The average CD_5 index per year for Web of Science. The original Park et al. decline (top curve) becomes essentially flat (bottom curve) when removing papers with CD_5=1. Those papers largely correspond to dataset artefacts.

It’s amazing what Brian and OSF have done for science. I can imagine how hard the folks at COS must’ve worked to avoid this outcome. I’m extremely grateful to them for creating the reality we live in now. The fact that we’ll miss these services so acutely is a testament to how much they shaped us.

Brian Nosek@briannosek.bsky.social · last mo.

Over the next several months, we will phase out some popular OSF features. These changes do not affect current public content, which remains safe and accessible. We have prepared support material to help users adapt. I am very sorry for the disruption to your work. Please read this post for details.

Prominent researchers in my field spent over 2 decades telling big stories about the relation between brain & mental health with very little robust data. This has led to really crazy stuff like this, impossible if we had not normalized this bizarre storytelling. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

A scientist says he can scan prisoners’ brains for signs of evil. Did his disputed science put a man on death row?

Kent Kiehl convinced the US legal system he can find violence in prisoners’ brains. His theories have been since used by defense lawyers – with grave consequences for prisoners

👁️🧠🧪 Vision takes time. But how does visual information flow through the human brain? Our new PLOS Computational Biology paper uses population receptive field (pRF) modelling to bring the spatial precision of fMRI to MEG, revealing the temporal dynamics of visual areas. 📖 doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Non-invasive mapping of the temporal processing hierarchy in the human visual cortex

Author summary Vision doesn’t happen instantaneously, but unfolds over time. While we understand a lot about how the brain processes visual space, understanding how the brain processes information ove...

Function is not tied to specific brain structures or time scales. The brain is not just a set of parts that each “do their own job”. Instead, networks are multifunctional and active across different speeds simultaneously. doi.org/10.1073/pnas... #neuroscience

Shared spatial and temporal principles govern connectome dynamics across timescales | PNAS

While the brain processes information at various speeds, little is known about how the functional connectome can concurrently support multiple spee...

I challenge anyone go try and reproduce some random papers, even those based on open free public datasets, but without the code and/or a detailed description of how the data was obtained and processed, and not become militant about the necessity of code and complete data sharing at a minimum.

I am recruiting a postdoctoral researcher and a PhD student, funded by a new ERC grant. The grant focuses on the role of the hippocampus in visual perception, using 7T fMRI (hippocampal subfields, cortical layers) and MEG+iEEG. The intended start dates for both positions are in early 2027. 🧠🟦 1/3

A decade+ ago I remember proposing "partial peer review," possibly via a defunct twitter account. I'd gladly review the methods of many more papers if I could gloss over the parts I don't understand. But this possibility seems to exist only after publication atm. 3/2 😬
