Hey Science Twitter! I’m happy to share a collection of #neuroimaging patterns you can download and apply to your brain imaging studies. They include labeled atlases, meta-analysis maps, and linear multivariate predictive models: github.com/canlab/Neuroim…

Looking forward to today's Mind Meeting lecture by Sam Gershman: Using video games to reverse engineer human intelligence. Please DM for Zoom details

I am beyond excited that CRAN has finally decided to accept my {kittyR} package! 🎉 indrajeetpatil.github.io/kittyR/ Now you can easily access cat pictures and their meows right from your R console! 😻 May these bring you some joy during these difficult times. #rstats

Introducing Scientist Maker, a mini dress-up game promoting visibility of #science in visual media! You can customize your scientist’s eyes, facial expressions, hairstyles, and accessories! The website link: picrew.me/image_maker/63… #scientist #sciart #scicomm #illustration

Examining > 1,000 “brain trainers”, Stojanoski and colleagues found that brain training habits are not associated with generalized benefits to #cognition. Check out the article in *Journal of Experimental Psychology: General* #JEPGeneral on.apa.org/3aZpIjs #braintraining

#OHBM2021 Educational Courses are kicking off next week! Join us for the course “Neuroanatomy and Its impact on Structural and Functional Imaging (In Honor of Karl Zilles)”. Register here: bit.ly/2RGoYcg

The audacity! But in all seriousness -- I used this for editing stimuli in my PhD work. Anyone know of any good alternatives? #Audacity #spyware fosspost.org/audacity-is-no…

If the mind is meant to minimise prediction error, then why is humour pleasurable?

Four reasons why I think authorship on academic papers should be more like movie credits:

Ok folks. It’s time we talked about eels. I’m a geologist but I recently learnt about eels and… wow. Since then, I’ve been greeting strangers with ‘DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EELS?!’ Well, consider yourself a stranger in my path. Strap in. It’s a 🧵 1/so many

PIs are like “I have the worst memory” one second, and then “oh don’t you remember Figure 2, panel C and [insert obscure factoid] in the September 2005 paper from Buchanan in the Abel lab?” the next 🙄

A bunch of Mark Stokes's trainees (from many points in time) put together a list of '10 simple rules for a supportive lab environment', inspired by the example he set. This has been a wonderful moment of reflection for me personally, as I start my own lab direct.mit.edu/jocn/article/d…

Do you like playing games? Most of us do, which is why sam doesn't use this site anymore 🦋 Bria Long, PhD Jan Simson Andrés Buxó-Lugo Duane Watson argue that gamifying experiments can make behavioral research more inclusive, rigorous and reproducible.

Doing online auditory experiments? Here is a nice method to check that your participants actually wear headphones rdcu.be/c7CqD from Josh McDermott's lab.

Thanks @tefkah for adding a night mode to Zotero, thus supporting the unhealthy habit of reading papers too late at night :) github.com/tefkah/zotero-…

Join us on the 24th of May in Lausanne to know everything about mice breeding facilities, zebra fish and why we are not the smartest species in the world! 🐟🐭🧠 #pint23 #festival #event #research #Lausanne #Science #Biology EPFL @merianelion oaties
