🎓Recruiting Ph.D. students for Fall 2026!🎓
The Feilong Lab @sc.edu studies commonalities & differences across brains, and how they relate to cognition, language, & disorders.
We develop brain templates, improve hyperalignment, and compare human brains with monkey brains & DNNs.

Hi,
I am starting my lab at UBC as Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry in May 🎉
Lab website and other stuff are still on the way. Stay tuned 🧠
Very happy that this paper from our lab is now out in @pnas.org! What happens when the *same* person experiences the *same* information with a *different* interpretation? Nearly the whole 🧠—well, at least nearly all association cortex—changes how it represents that information! tinyurl.com/p8chj2j7
Big day for a wee scientist :) #100Citations
Thankful for all the publishing opportunities from my late and brilliant supervisor @themindwanders.bsky.social - wish I could celebrate this with you

excellent piece, and should be required reading for anyone skeptical of the technical capabilities and policy implications of AI.
there are certainly exceptions, but by and large, the political left is currently treating what should be a five-alarm fire like a distasteful spectator sport.
everyone gets to decide for themselves what tools they want to use, and no one is obligated to try to help develop, steer, or regulate any technology, including AI. but remember that refusing to engage doesn't stall the conversation; it just means the people you disagree with get to drive it.

We're continuing to add even more features to streamline and automate meta-analysis-- making it a key part of every scientist's toolkit!
Very happy to see this last thesis paper in press @natcomms.nature.com! We combine intracranial EEG with multimodal MRI to study how interregional similarity in neurophysiology relates to different network scales ⚡ 🧠

How about starting the new year with a new Nilearn release?
Sure: here is Nilearn 0.13.0 for y'all!!!
New features: extract data to pandas or polars dataframes, get cluster statistics for surface analysis...
More info here: neurostars.org/t/nilearn-0-...
LMAO I listened to both episodes it was a trip
We'll be at #CNS2026!

If you want to talk meta-analyses or extracting structured information from articles (NLP/LLMs) in person, let's connect ☕ (Vancouver March 7th-10th)

Very much looking forward to this series of workshops on the computational ingredients of reasoning. We have an amazing lineup of speakers from diverse backgrounds, and there will be lots of opportunities for discussion. Please consider attending!
I'm happy to announce the release 0.3 of hidimstat that provides variable importance analysis for high-dimensional predictive models.
The release features a new API and lots of novel methods: LOCO inference, Permutation Feature Importance, pdp, ...

Happy to announce the 0.1.5 release of sanssouci. This lightweight library is the basis for tight post-hoc control of the false discovery proportion in high-dimensional (e.g. mass univariate) seetings.

How do our brains distinguish novel from familiar places as we explore our environments, e.g., a new city?

Also I found that even the vibe coding output can do the correct thing, it usually doesn't use higher level functions so the cognitive load of reading it is really high 🙃
Episode 46: Sapiens
It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.
And the next step? Full voxel-level modeling.
Recent numerical advances cracked the scalability barrier. Voxel-level hierarchical modeling is now feasible, revealing just how punishing traditional multiple-comparison adjustments really are.

Northeastern University is recruiting an Assistant Professor in Music, AI and Brain Health. 🧠🎶
Faculty have the chance to be part of the (smart, fun) Institute for Cognitive and Brain Health (and be my neighbor).
Please help spread the word!

Thank you Micah. Let's find a time to zoom? I would love to see you again soon.
I worked with Jonny for 5 years during my formative years as a scientist. He influenced how I see life deeply. Although I won't hear him explain things to me again, his words and kindness will live through those whom he inspired. We were so lucky to have him in our lives. We miss you a lot, Jonny.
Is AI making job recruitment less meritocratic? We're getting some v interesting research studies on this question now, and the news is... not good. @jburnmurdoch.ft.com & I dive in, in the latest edition of our newsletter The AI Shift www.ft.com/content/e5b7...
Y'all. N>3,800. !!!!!!!
Goodness gracious.

“It looks like the committee is looking to prove something that they already believe, rather than look objectively at the data to see what it does say,” Watson-Creed said.
Boy does it.

If we’re talking about ‘generational investment’, Canada needs faculty positions for postdocs.
There have been virtually no cog psych/neuro jobs in the past three years.
It's my talk at noon ET today! People told me the QR code didn't work do here's the link to the event page - criugm.qc.ca/evenements/o...
