🧠🌲Job alert! In addition to our open postdoc position, we FINN Lab are hiring a full-time RA! You'll work on an exciting new NIMH-funded project on individual differences in social perception. Great stepping stone to grad school. Please RT! searchjobs.dartmouth.edu/postings/63379

...so it does!!! Thrilled to finally share this work 😍🎼 very dear to my heart, as I've been wanting to work on music generation for ages, and a wonderful learning experience! Can't wait to share more insights ICML Conference 🎉 but in the meantime do give those samples a good 🎧👂🏻

Something I'm thinking about today: an important part of Open Science and Open Infrastructure is the idea that the end-product is not the only thing that matters. The *process to get there* is equally important. 1/

Join us in fighting for what we deserve!

🚨I wrote about “brain fog”—one of the most common & disabling symptoms of long COVID (and many other pre-pandemic conditions), and one of the most misunderstood. Here’s what brain fog actually is, and what it’s like to live with it. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…

“Fitness tracking reveals task-specific associations between memory, mental health, and physical activity” by Jeremy Manning et al. Scientific Reports nature.com/articles/s4159…

We asked our fellow grad workers, "How would an extra $1668/month change your life?" 🧵👇

In my latest for the The New York Times, I wrote about a new study that established a link between the intensities of exercise people do, and their different types of memory, whether it's remembering where you put your keys or recalling past events. nytimes.com/2022/10/07/wel…

We are SOOOO STOKED to announce the official start of GOLD’s drive to form a legally recognized union of graduate employees! How can you help make this happen? SIGN YOUR CARD TODAY! uecrm.knack.com/join-ue#dartmo…

For 2+ years I’ve been researching the case of CJ Rice, whom my pediatrician dad says was physically incapable of committing the crime for which he’s doing up to 60 years in prison… The injustice is actually much worse than I thought: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Free recall experiments provide rich information about memory function, but analyzing free recall data can be complex and difficult. My Python package, Psifr, makes it easy to perform sophisticated analysis of free recall performance and organization. psifr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/inde… 🧵

Psifr is designed to be extensible, and new analyses are being added over time. The codebase for Psifr has been peer-reviewed and is published in the Journal of Open Source Software. Special thanks to Dr Christopher Madan 🐘🧠💻 (he/him) and Paxton Fitzpatrick for their helpful feedback! joss.theoj.org/papers/10.2110…

Version 0.1.1 of our "davos" package just dropped (lead dev: Paxton Fitzpatrick)! This one has bug fixes/improvements, expanded documentation, and other goodies. We also now have a companion paper where you can learn about the juicy deets: github.com/ContextLab/dav…

🚨Updated preprint (lead author: Xinming Xu)!🚨 Our current experiences tell us about *now*, but what about the past or future? And does the current moment tell us *more* about the past or about the future? preprint: psyarxiv.com/yp2qu/ code/data: github.com/ContextLab/pre…

Check out our latest on word list learning! We found that presenting the same lists in different ways affects what (and how) you remember those lists *and* future lists. Preprint: psyarxiv.com/erzfp Code/data: github.com/ContextLab/FRF…

Check out our new preprint on learning from Khan Academy videos (by Paxton Fitzpatrick, Andy Heusser, and Jeremy Manning)! We use text embeddings to model and map what people know and how knowledge changes over time. Preprint: psyarxiv.com/dh3q2 Code/data: github.com/ContextLab/eff…

Our "Fitness tracking and memory/mental health" paper was one of the top 100 most-downloaded papers in Scientific Reports in 2022 🥳💾🤓! nature.com/collections/jh… Congrats to the whole team (Jeremy Manning, Gina Notaro, Esme Chen, and Paxton Fitzpatrick)!

Congrats to Context Lab science rockstar Paxton Fitzpatrick on a well-deserved @NeukomInstitute prize for Outstanding Graduate Research in Computational Science! 🥳🏅🤩 neukom.dartmouth.edu/research/neuko…

Excited to announce the latest release of our "Davos" Python package (v0.2.3)! 🎉🥳 Add Davos to a Jupyter notebook by inserting a new cell with this code at the top: %pip install davos import davos Then replace all uses of "import" with "smuggle" github.com/ContextLab/dav…
