Join our Igor pack to discuss and share a specific topic and interest related to open science, bio/cognitive/psychopy & neuroscience - even job/ grant opportunities! go.bsky.app/7GAoP8i

Great news: Thomas‘ study on shared and distinct mechanisms of PD therapeutics out soon! Thanks for the important work and great collaboration over the last years, @tsbinns.com , @julianneumann.bsky.social .

I've just released pleasenox.com – Convert any x.com thread to Bluesky 🦋 #indiehackers #buildinpublic #twitter – Perfect for those who have left Twitter but wish to comment upon a thread there

Happy LoveDataWeek everyone 💝 So many exciting activities happening around #LoveData25 😍 incl @datatrain.bsky.social events: 1. Data Story by @smnhfmnn.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/data... 2. Starter Track "Data Protection and licenses" by @kipker.bsky.social www.bremen-research.de/data-train/c...

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Turning videos into 3D humans has never been easier or more accurate. MoCapade 3.0 improves everything over 2.0 while adding 3D camera tracking (and output) and multi-person capture. Try out the new state-of-the-art. Of course, there's more to come.

I'm looking forward to give a talk at this great event👇 about scilaunch 🚀 shescher.github.io/scilaunch/ scilaunch 🚀 is a small convenience tool that I developed with the goal of easing the launch of new research projects, providing a useful skeleton for data, code, and organizational aspects.

We centralized our open-science contributions in a new "Tools & Software" section on our website; check out - open stimuli (eg. 3D objects) - open data (eg. MindBrainBody) - tools (eg. excite-o-meter, AffectTracker) - analysis scripts - & more www.cbs.mpg.de/departments/... #researchtransparency

⏰ Today's the day: please register today (anywhere on earth) if you plan to join us. Very much looking forward to seeing you there!

Happy new year, fellow MindBrainBody researchers! Looking forward to seeing you at the MindBrainBody Symposium in a few months. By the way, the deadline for submission and/or registration: 📆 January 15, 2025 You can do so here: www.mindbrainbody.de

„the high-compute version was allowed 1,024 samples (at a cost estimated to be several thousands of dollars per task, and over $1M total for the whole evaluation…wow, this is a lot of money to solve 100 little puzzles!)“

Today OpenAI announced o3, its next-gen reasoning model. We've worked with OpenAI to test it on ARC-AGI, and we believe it represents a significant breakthrough in getting AI to adapt to novel tasks.

🚀 Preprint out! doi.org/10.31234/osf... We developed, empirically evaluated and openly share **AffectTracker**, a new tool to collect continuous ratings of two-dimensional (valence and arousal) affective experience **during** dynamic emotional stimulation (e.g., 360° videos) in immersive VR! 🥽🧠🟦

Visit the great @cbeylier.bsky.social at her poster @ the @neuripsconf.bsky.social workshop #SciForDL (today, 11:20AM, PST) scienceofdlworkshop.github.io//schedule/ We looked at the development of representational patterns & strategies in #RL agents using #XAI Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2406.14324

Very cool to see our Nahid Torbati on the big screen @neurreps.bsky.social @neuripsconf.bsky.social It was and still is a great pleasure to work with her on this project, in which we explore the alignment of representational spaces between ANNs & the human counterpart using methods from geometry.

📣 Come join us for the #MindBrainBody Symposium 2025! 📆 March 10-12, 2025 📍 Berlin & online 🔎 mindbrainbody.de Keynotes: - Ivan de Araujo - Nadine Gogolla - Maria Ribeiro @ribeironeuro.bsky.social - Markus Ullsperger - Tor Wager - Veronica Witte @veronicawitte.bsky.social #interoception

Welcome @nilearn.bsky.social to Bluesky! Nilearn is an amazing package for neuroimaging analysis in Python - certainly one of the most heavily used packages in our lab.

Dear friends of CBS CoCoNUT, this is a kind reminder of today's (Nov 27) talk by Sebastian Lapuschkin on next-gen explainable A.I. #XAI 3 PM (CET), live @ @mpicbs.bsky.social & on Zoom iphome.hhi.de/lapuschkin/

Delighted to announce our next CBS CoCoNUT 🧠🥥🤖 talk by Sebastian Lapuschkin, whose work has shaped the field of explainable AI #XAI in the last decade. When: Nov 27, 3 PM (CET) Where: Lecture Hall @ MPI CBS & Zoom (link here: www.cbs.mpg.de/en/cbs-coconut) #AI #DeepLearning #interpretability #LRP

OpenNeuro.org is now on Bluesky! Follow us for project updates and exciting new datasets.

Announcing: BIDS Validator 2.0 This is a complete rewrite to base the validator on the declarative BIDS schema. Most importantly, this validator boasts long-awaited support for BIDS Derivative datasets. bids-standard.github.io/bids-validat... #BIDS #BrainImagingDataStructure

🔵 New Paper 🔵 Happy to announce that our paper linking predictive learning and representational geometry in the human 🧠 is out today in #NatureComms! with @drjuliamoser.bsky.social, Hubert Preissl and Markus Siegel 📜👉 nature.com/articles/s41467-024-54032-4

We are happy to share our new paper (under review) on human face perception! In this study, we investigated how face similarity judgments are affected by dynamic 3D vs. static 2D conditions 🗿. Preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf... #FacePerception #3D #CognitiveScience #similarity #NeuroAI (1/n)

New paper submission track at #CCN2025 ! #neuroAI #neuroscience #CompNeuro #neuroskyence #MLsky

Dear friends of CBS CoCoNUT, Tomorrow, Friday, Nov 8, 11AM (CET) @smnhfmnn.bsky.social will present 🚀 scilaunch (shescher.github.io/scilaunch/) a light-weight tool to set up your research projects. Join us on Zoom (see www.cbs.mpg.de/en/cbs-coconut)! #open-science 🗝️ #python 🐍

With @olegolt.bsky.social & @fraukeb.bsky.social, and a wonderful team of colleagues, we looked into "The utility of explainable A.I. for #MRI analysis"

Our paper finally appeared on modelling the effect of age on the BOLD fMRI response, one implication of which is that many age effects previously reported may be vascular rather than neural… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

If you're in #Berlin or around: come work with us, the Mind-Body-Emotion Group @mbe-lab.bsky.social We're looking for a student assistant at the Max Planck Dahlem Campus of Cognition (10h/week, 1-2 years contract, deadline: Sept 15, 2024). Full job ad here: www.michaelgaebler.com/wp-content/u...

Introducing RegCheck: a tool which uses Large Language Models to automatically compare preregistered protocols with their corresponding published papers and highlights deviations. @malte.the100.ci @ianhussey.bsky.social @ruben.the100.ci @bjoernhommel.bsky.social regcheck.app

I am excited to share our new paper “Confidence ratings do not distinguish reality and imagination” with @matanmazor.bsky.social and @smfleming.bsky.social ! A thread: 1/10 jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx...

This is going to be an exciting talk! LLMs meet human vision.
