If we’re talking about ‘generational investment’, Canada needs faculty positions for postdocs.

There have been virtually no cog psych/neuro jobs in the past three years.

My sister lives in #Evanston, IL and feels the severity of the situation is not well reported nationally. The local paper interviewed residents after the Halloween assaults, and she says that matches what she's seen herself and heard from neighbors.

How to even use social media for promoting research when many people are saturated with social media and online engagement? I have way less desire to post here than I did on Twitter back in the day.

Data only shows associations. Turning those into claims about mechanism or causation? That requires a Rosetta Stone of prior knowledge + theory. Resting-state fMRI is purely observational; correlation is its currency. From this, plenty of "theoretical toys" about brain function can be built...

Do you ever wish you could just use python to pull together the files and code for running FSL's randomise? Me too! I made this: github.com/jmumford/ran... It will even replace the numbers in the file outputs with contrast names of your choosing (and replace corrp with 1minusp).

Our Super Mario Bros. experiment demonstrates an important caveat: alignment can be very brittle. 1/🧵

Courtois Project on Neuronal Modelling @cneuromod.ca · Aug 7

In 2019, the CNeuroMod team and 6 participants began a massive data collection journey: twice-weekly MRI scans for most of 5 years. Data collection is now complete! 1/🧵

Poster titled "Neuromod: The Courtois Project on Neuronal Modelling" with logos from Université de Montréal and the Centre de recherche de l'Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal.

Large bold text reads:
6 BRAINS – 987H-fMRI – 18 TASKS
Followed by the subtitle:
Naturalistic & Controlled – Multimodal / Perception + Action
Each letter in "18 TASKS" contains thumbnails from various visual tasks.

The central table summarizes 32 datasets grouped by primary domain (Vision, Audition, Language, Memory, Action, Other). For each dataset, the table indicates which stimulus modalities were used (Vision, Speech, Audio, Motion), what responses were collected (Physiology, Eye tracking, Explanations, Actions), and how many sessions and subjects were scanned. The overall visual style is playful and bold, with rainbow colors for modality types and rich iconography indicating data types.

Hi world - its been a hard year with #cancer meaning I missed out lots of fun things. It would mean a lot if you checked out my new album of tracks. Out on all platforms including #Soundcloud (free). Let me know which tracks you like and a special prize if you work out the two levels to the project
