`"Today the voters in Clacton have stuck two fingers up at the entire political establishment," Farage said.` www.bbc.com/news/article... It's true that Count Binface got 27% of the votes. Big two fingers.

Farage wins Clacton by-election but avoids result declaration

The Reform UK leader wins with 63% of the vote in a contest boycotted by the other major parties.

under our local theme 🧠Brains in the Wild🧠, we’ll explore how we can move beyond tightly controlled laboratory settings to understand brain dynamics in more naturalistic, complex and real-world contexts.

together with @AnyaDietrich and a great team, we're organizing the Frankfurt hub of this year's 🌱CuttingGardens🌱, a distributed conference on cutting-edge methods for M/EEG data analysis, hosted by CoBIC! Sept 21–25, 2026🧵

This image was taken by our postdoc Sven Nagorny who is very passionate about astro-photography and so skilled! Thank you for sharing this cool picture of the partial solar eclipse 2026 seen from our institute’s rooftop with our community! 😊

#macOS Tahoe's rounded corner UI really gives me the PowerPoint 2010 aesthetics.

Didn’t they say it’s illegal to block the international water? 🙃 He really wants to play who’s the crazier. #🌮

LLMs are truly alchemy in the sense (and only in this sense) that they can easily brew even the most arcane one-liners🫕: seunggookim.github.io/blog/2024/on...

It's such a disgrace that now we have to see subscription advertisements in PURCHASED (bundled with the hardware) software. Jobs'd be spinning in his grave. 🪦

#ismir25 was the best organized conference ever i have attended for the last ten years! Thank you so much for the great work to the organizers including prof Juhan Nam!

“Academia is very high school. A lot of people are from privileged backgrounds, and they never had a real job. So they are just like high-schoolers.” @acollierastro.bsky.social What a great way to put it!❤️🧪

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza. Truly an atrocity built on atrocity. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Perhaps I was overly scared of JS. It's still a better language than the other arbitrary stuff, like NBS Presentation. I mean, it shoots some pages and UIs! 🚀 But 🤔 perhaps my impression is because I've been semi-vibe coding with ChatGPT through VS-CoPilot...

"(b) In reverse double-dipping, the dataset dips you twice, unbeknownst to you, with non-identical data points (the same stimulus but independent noise)." If this caught your attention🤓, please read the preprint! #fmri #EEG #cogpsyc #CogSci #MusicScience #Neuroscience #neuroskyence 🧪

And what if I told you that the model in the figure was trained by pure noise?🤯😱 This scary artifact is due to a faulty cross-validation design, which I call "Reverse Double-Dipping" in my new preprint. Please read it to avoid RDD!👹 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

🚨New preprint alert!🚨 Say you have a new hypothesis that the brain encodes a particular musical information X, which is theoretically plausible.🧐 So, you ran an encoding analysis on EEG data. Now the topography of prediction accuracies looks like this!🤩 What would you conclude?🥳 🧪

I will co-host a workshop for Open Science, talk about the neural encoding of musical emotions, and present a poster about LLM-based conference programming via iterative hierarchical clustering (i.e., "How the Bratwurst🌭 is made"). If you're around in the Frankfurt am Main area, please join!

The perpetrator in the Magdeburg attack has been living in Germany for 18 years, is a psychiatrist from Saudi-Arabia, a strong critic of Islam, and supporter of the far right AFD. He also hated the German “islamfriendly” state (bureaucracy and police), became more radical, and vowed vengeance.

Meine Kollegen @hoshiyama.bsky.social @felixhuesmann.de und @markusdecker.bsky.social haben eine Nachtschicht eingelegt und in einem eindringlichen Stück von vor Ort alles wichtige zur #Terror-Fahrt von #Magdeburg aufgeschrieben. Dringende Lese-Empfehlung: www.rnd.de/politik/magd...

17-year-long Scottish study of 82,000+ adults finds commuting by bike reduces your risk of: • early death • hospitalisation for any reason • cardiovascular disease • cancer mortality • treatment for mental health problems. Yeah, but those LTNs and bike lanes are *really* annoying.

This is how you do it, America.
