New eLife editorial: their Publish-Review-Curate model works, even after losing the impact factor. I published with them because I believed in their approach. Scientific publishing needs more courage to embrace change ...especially in times of peer-review crisis.

Woop woop 🎉 Excited to share that our paper has been accepted in Imaging Neuroscience! Can ventral striatal reward signals — originating from deep within the brain — be reconstructed from scalp EEG? We tried to answer this question using deep learning. More soon 👀 Stay tuned.
