Suppose you generated a sequence of 100 random numbers. Then one year later, you did it again. Do you think we could predict one sequence from the other? It turns out, we can! Now in press @ JEP:G with @samiyousif.bsky.social @actlab.bsky.social @robbrutledge.bsky.social; osf.io/preprints/ps...

For the Dartmouth PBS graduate student visiting day this year, we introduced a new format based on the "Hot Ones" talk show: faculty and current graduate students ate nuggets with a series of increasing spicy hot sauces as they answered questions from prospective grad students! 🌶️🔥🥵

As co-director of AI at the Ann S. Bowers Women’s Brain Health Initiative, I want women in data science to flourish. We thus launch the #WiDSDatathon 2025 Global challenge - open to all levels - now on Kaggle! Entrants will predict ADHD via fMRI, with sex differences in mind. youtu.be/ESbiTbnlbdM

This paper sets up a bit of a straw man in that I don't think most people who use movies and stories as fMRI stimuli assume that all movies will (or should) evoke the same response. In a naturalistic neuroimaging expt, the movie is the task...

Hi new followers! My lab studies when/how/why the same input can provoke different interpretations in different people (or in the same person across time). But we also do fun stuff with human-AI alignment and conversation. Hoping we can make bsky like the old days of science Twitter; miss that!

Just got reviews back on a grant. It's still in funding limbo, but one reviewer wrote such beautifully supportive comments of me and my work that I'm tearing up at my desk. I don't know who this reviewer is, but if you're reading this: thank you, this type of encouragement means so much.

Hey @sansmeeting.bsky.social, I'm having trouble creating a user account on the Conference Manager site (stuck in an endless "Pending User email loop). I reached out to the contact # on the SANS site, but am wondering if this is a known issue? Midnight abstract deadline fast approaching 😬 thanks!
