no, they only allow you to pull the full-text of 100 tweets per month 🫥

my feeling is that the unique non-duplicated content on twitter is comprised of more institutional accounts & on bluesky of more individual accounts. so possibly more neuroscience content will move here eventually.

the twitter API is super rate-limited, so it's complete pain to get numbers 😬, post count only available for the last 7 days in the free tier, that's why it starts on the 15th.

I remember that you uploaded it after some discussion on twitter 🙂 x.com/LitvakVladim...

I do with track changes, so wrong name will happen less in the future due to mild embarrassment 🙃

later on, substantial evidence was provided against the general tremor + alpha link, so I am not positive this experiment would reproduce. but eyeball warming/cooling sounds like a cool experiment. 🙂 (control: changing forehead temperature)

so you drag & drop neurons, set the direction of the connections & get a Braitenberg vehicle in 2 minutes. 🙃 I also liked that the field of vision can be split & different hemifields can drive different neurons.

not out yet, but to be kept in the loop:

supercool!! very much looking forward to the research that's coming from your team in the future! 🙂

more orientated towards postdocs & PIs, but some suggestions in this article for starting a academic website: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

yes, the git commit to update the website on github pages is pretty cool! I feel many people (me also) now use this template: academicpages.github.io

no info regarding laminar profile here from this data (only two electrodes which have this type of signal), but of course it would be interesting to know 🙂

some of them def! but others go on for an extended period of time.
what is your burst cut-off threshold in cycles? 😅

(happy to be back in data-land! after lots of time spent last month on superboring paperwork, time that is lost forever 😶‍🌫️😖)

it's this service, collaborative Markdown documents: hackmd.io
Marijn said it's more stable with 100s of participants compared to something like Google docs.

what question would to be most interesting to you in regarding the structural MRI? maybe I can check 🙂
(I think there is MRI for at least a subset of the participants)

also great: extremely motivated + nice participants! there also were tracks for: FieldTrip + EEGLAB + Brainstorm, the other toolboxes for MEG/EEG, with instructors interacting well, no animosities, great community.

all orchestrated by great team behind @cuttingeeg.bsky.social ❤️🙂 #PracticalMEEG2025

the live document was super interesting to run in a course of this size. participants were asking questions in it and they were either answered in the document (by a trainEEr) or on stage depending on how general the question was. idea from my co-teacher Marijn van Vliet, who used the tool before. 🙂

for support we had 6 so called 'trainEErs' who helped us out (tremendously) with everything from 1-on-1 questions to answering the live document (where questions during the whole course were collected) to demonstrating the code on stage. the aim was to train more people in providing these tutorials.
