Characterizing individual brain differences to advance personalized diagnosis, treatment, and sustainable healthcare

🚨 We’re recruiting a fully funded PhD student (from outside the UK) to join the lab with @tessamdekker.bsky.social 🌍👁️🧠 The PhD is part of IndiBrain.eu and will use cutting‑edge fMRI+qMRI+psychophysics to study information flow between eye and brain in ocular gene therapy. Apply by 27 Feb! t.ly/gahGB

Mhh. I don't doubt that domestic students are thought at a (monetary) loss and charities are usually not charged overheads for research- so that check out. But inudstry?

Anyway, that doesn't change the fact that it's mostly money from international students that keep UK universties afloat....

Is there a source for that? Knowing the overheads that are charged to companies, it massivly surprise me to learn that UK universities (at least the big ones) do industry-funded research at a loss.

We're still looking for two full-time RA's to join the lab to work on childrens and adults using cutting-edge cog-neuro tools!

More a demonstraton of error control, but I alsways liked the dead salmon in an fMRI mashine.

Ah, I’m still rocking a tiny iPhone Mini, so everything is nice and proportionate for me…

Looks like there's a button for exactly that in the top right of the customisation pop-up!

Excited to share our new preprint...

We find temporal confounds in fMRI that emulate neural patterns of perceptual learning.

These can be hard to spot with conventional RSA, but may influence our understanding of how prior knowledge shapes perception.

This article does not do the ruling any justice (pun intended). It's actually quite groundbreaking in that it opens the door for much, much more litigation.

Christ. Just came downstairs to find my dad watching an entirely AI-generated YouTube video about an event that didn't happen involving the Pope. Had to convince him the whole think was fake. "How can you tell?" he asked. He has five degrees including a PhD.

Wie wäre es in guter alter deutscher Tradition mit Österreich?

A section titled what?? In a chapter titled WHAT????

My working hypothesis is that if you amass a certain amount of wealth, you don't have friends anymore. Not sure which way round the causality works though.

Truly a gift that keep giving.

FWIW, this is the complete opposite of my experience. Maybe it just heavily depends on what content you're looking for? See e.g. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/xs-domi...

Yeah, AI slob of the worst kind

i hear using a mortar and thinking about the current state of the world makes the best pesto though

Hi Josh. Thanks for posting this. I just ran your demo it and can confirm that it elicits a similar color experience, as we state in the paper. The difference is that olo delivered in our system persists indefinitely, or as long as you are willing to stay clamped into a bite bar :)

This work with Alan Stocker, @lingqiz.bsky.social, and Jiang Mao is now in print. We benefited from very thoughtful reviewers. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

ah yes, I always wondered where the old saying comes from!

Tricia McLaughlin & @TriciaOhio 0... The narrative being pushed about Jose Hermosillo is false. On April 8, Hermosillo approached Border Patrol in Tucson and stated he had entered the U.S. illegally through Nogales. He said he wanted to turn himself in and completed a sworn statement identifying as a Mexican citizen who had entered unlawfully. He was processed and appeared in court on April 11. Afterward, he was held by the U.S. Marshals in Florence, AZ. A few days later, his family presented documents showing U.S. citizenship. The charges were dismissed, and he was released to his family. This arrest was the direct result of Hermosillo's own actions and statements.

In an interview with Popular Information, his first with any media outlet, Hermosillo said DHS'. 's account was false. According to Hermosillo, he was visiting his girlfriend's family in Tucson from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Several hours before his arrest, Hermosillo was transported to a hospital in Tucson by ambulance after suffering from a seizure. He has a New Mexico state ID, but did not take it with him during the medical emergency. After being released from the hospital following treatment, Hermosillo did not know how to return to where he was staying. He approached the Border Patrol officer because he was looking for someone to help him. "I saw a car, and I askled] him for help," Hermosillo said. He told the officer that he was staying in Tucson.

"You" re not from here. Do you have your papers?" the officer said, according to Hermosillo. When the officer asked where he was from, Hermosillo said he told the officer, "New Mexico." The officer then accused Hermosillo of lying. "Don't make me lout] like [I'm] stupid," the officer said. "I know you're from Mexico." After that, Hermosillo said, he was arrested. Hermosillo said that he never told the officer that he was born in Mexico, was a citizen of Mexico, or entered the country illegally. And he would not have said those things because they are not true. He signed the transcript released by DHS because the officer ordered him to "sign everything." But Hermosillo did not read it, because he cannot read. According to Hermosillo's girlfriend, Grace Hernandez, Hermosillo has learning disabilities and can only write his name. Hermosillo said he did not graduate from high school and dropped out after the 10th grade.

The officer also signed the document, which said Hermosillo "read" the document or had it read to him. But Hermosillo said no one read him the document. Other documents created by the officer have inaccuracies. For example, the criminal complaint says that Hermosillo was detained "at or near Nogales, Arizona." But Hermosillo was detained in Tuscon, which is more than 70 miles from Nogales. John Mennell, a spokesperson for the U.S. Border Patrol, said that it was an "unintentional" error. Hermosillo said he was detained with about 15 other men in a cell at the Florence Correctional Center. He was served only cold food. He said he contracted the flu because "they have it cold in there and everybody's getting sick." Hermosillo said he requested medicine but was not provided with any.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

Yeah, turns out you can be autistic AND an asshole! Who knew?
