🔍 New must-see resource! 🧠 --> Reproducible Brain Charts – an open-data tool for mapping brain development & mental health www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 👏 Kudos to @ted-satterthwaite.bsky.social and Michael Milham @childmindinstitute.bsky.social for leading this effort!

A new FSLeyes is out, with improved support for tractograms - it is now possible to display 3D tractograms in 2D (ortho and lightbox) views. Details at open.win.ox.ac.uk/pages/fsl/fs.... Thanks to dipy and mrtrix3 for some example data sets. Also, hello bluesky!

Registration for SOBP BrainHack is now open! www.repronim.org/SOBPHack-042...

SOBP BrainHack is officially open for registration! The hackathon will be held April 22-23 at Sick Kids Toronto. Beginners and experienced hackers welcome! Website and registration: www.repronim.org/SOBPHack-042...

💯👇 Boycott for-profit publishers! They're stealing research $$$, don't provide any value added while making us do work for free (reviewer, editor) AND selling our private data to immigration agencies, foreign govts and who knows who else... It's criminal to support them! Support nonprofit! 🧠💪

This week, we’re unveiling two members for the AI Insights for Policymakers program: @glajoie.bsky.social (Mila) and Laleh Seyyed-Kalantari (York University). Register here to partner with them and overcome your AI and policy-related challenges: mila.quebec/en/ai4humani...

Dan with our semi-weekly reminder that autism is way fuckin cooler than the measles

New @sloanfoundation.bsky.social postdoc program on Metascience and AI. Please reach out to me if you are interested in applying for this to work with our lab on these questions, which are of great interest to us right now. sloan.org/programs/dig...

Five ways in which the last 3 months — and especially the DeepSeek era — have vindicated “Deep learning is hitting a wall" open.substack.com/pub/garymarc...

Nicolas Sarkozy, the French DJ Trump, was just convicted of graft and now has to wear an electronic tag. Back in 2012, he severely lost elections when he moved towards the French nazi party. His former party, analogous to the GOP, got atomized and has not recovered since. It can be done.

Meet two members of the AI Insights for Policymakers program’s expert group: Ulrich Aivodji and Audrey Durand. As members of the expert group, they will provide advice and relevant knowledge to policymakers at all levels of government on specific challenges. mila.quebec/en/ai4humani...

Never gets old

[Taking a break from bouts of 🤯 😑😩 to be...] Happy that our paper is officially out in the latest issue of TICS: go.illinois.edu/Lee2025_TICS and highlighted with a beautiful cover art by Ally Dworetsky. Check 👇 for a quick summary

Final Call for Submissions! ⏳ Don't miss your chance to present at the Re-Align Workshop @iclr-conf.bsky.social ! We welcome submissions from ICML, CogSci, and beyond.

Today’s LLMs are the ‘Mainframe Computers’ of our generation We’re still in the very early stages of AI, and it is inevitable, due to market competition + global innovation (especially from those innovating with resource constraints), that this technology will become a million times more efficient.

Not the biggest problem we're facing right now, but wow it's annoying that when this guy shares my work everyone tells him how brilliant he is and when I share it I get random dudes swinging by to tell me I can't do maths

What happens when we break down DSM diagnoses into their individual symptoms and rebuild our classification system from the ground up? Do we see familiar DSM constructs, HiTOP dimensions, or something else entirely? New paper out today in CPS! ✨ journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... 1/🧵

Looking forward to this new NeuroAI symposium! 🧠

why is it habit but also rabbit explain

An image-computable model of speeded decision-making - our latest in @elife.bsky.social combining a CNN with a response time model. TL/DR: Training to reproduce human RTs results in different kinds of representations versus purely task-optimized training.

👉 DeepSeek may well have broken OpenAI’s Terms of Service and distilled their intellectually property without permission 👉 OpenAI may well have done analogous things to YouTube, New York Times, and countless artists and writers. 👉 Karma is a bitch.

Some thoughts and an apology. I'm going to step away from Bluesky for a bit. It's already enough dealing with the attacks on the trans community without being torn apart by my own community like this for a mistake.

Too often, reviewers forget that it’s not their paper. The focus should be on what’s necessary for the paper to be suitable for publication, not on how they would have approached it. Suggestions are helpful, but they should always be framed as optional. Let me tell you a story 1/7

Interested in understanding what brain activity during movies means from the perspective of the viewer? Then you absolutely need check out this amazing study by @ravenwallace.bsky.social from THinC Lab out now in @elife.bsky.social A thread 🧵 elifesciences.org/articles/97731

I want to highlight a special issue in honor of Sarah DuBrow, a brilliant scientist and dear friend who passed away in 2022. We contributed a paper in which we disentangled the importance of temporal and causal relationships while participants recalled the non-linear narrative, Memento. 🧵 ⬇️ 1/9

hi bsky hivemind! looking for references on how high computational costs in fmri research impact 1) reproducibility (possible in theory, hard in practice); 2) accessibility (for small or poorly equipped labs); 3) sustainability (footprint of the field); 4) impact (multiverse hard or impossible). 🙏

Something I am really looking forward for 2025 is the rise of truly multimodal models, featuring joint processing of vision, language, audio and actions. These models finally start approaching the range of data streams available to 🧠s openreview.net/forum?id=K4F...

The scipy conference is one of the most welcoming and most inspiring conferences I have ever attended. It's at the center of a network of collaborators that work together across many different disciplines and sectors to improve scientific computing openly and broadly.

2024 was the first full calendar year for Imaging Neuroscience @mitpress - 350 papers published. We're proud of how the brain imaging community enthusiastically embraced open access non-profit publishing. Our aim is to be *your* journal. Full size PDF: drive.google.com/file/d/1M170...

Psychedelic mental health research is booming—but how do we keep up with rapidly evolving evidence? 🌱 Our team proposes a living evidence synthesis approach to ensure clinicians, policymakers, and the public have access to the latest, most reliable data. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s44... 🧪🧵

You might have been thinking, "when the rate of occurrence of climate change related disasters becomes overwhelming, people will finally wake up to the fact that climate change is real" Absolutely not. Instead, they will blame the disasters on "wokeness"
