Awesome new work from Nick Weaver and Chris Lynn.

How complicated is the human brain, really?

This paper introduces a way to measure the compressibility of brain activity -- i.e. how many correlations do you actually need to predict large-scale neural activity. 1/

Very happy to see this out now in @nathumbehav.nature.com - kudos to @magdadelrio.bsky.social who has led this work and nicely brought together data from two very different studies!

The Alps to lose a record number of glaciers in the next decade How much longer will glaciers survive? A new study from ETH Zurich researchers offers the first detailed projection of how many glaciers could vanish by 2100 due to global warming – and why regions su...

In a groundbreaking study, an international team led by ETH Zurich researchers has for the first time calculated how many glaciers worldwide are likely to remain until the end of the century and for how long. It looks bleak. ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

I’m now a bit obsessed with GPUs 🤓 They have great potential for scaling up neuroimaging and neuroscience analyses 📈
Coming up next: GPU-accelerated neuroimaging meta-analyses (work in progress 🚧: github.com/amnsbr/nimar...)

Many sea stars begin life as young fairy-like creature (called a brachiolaria) that float through the open ocean. Eventually, a small star forms within them (here in yellow). The fairy-like brachiolaria sinks under the star’s weight, and the star pops out!

Thanks to the Natural Philosophers with Attitude (shorturl.at/1HWtK); NUFA (shorturl.at/yvKXi); Martin (shorturl.at/0PQbW); Seyma Bayrak and Wolf-Julian Neumann and also BigBrain Project for their contributions. If you would like me to add your work in the jukebox as well, please reach out!

Hello! It has been a while, but for the Hector Fellow Academy I created a small project at the interface of neuroscience and music. In short, it is like a neuro-jukebox of projects of friends and colleagues integrating music and art. I thought it would be nice to share here
