I hope no one needs an MRI this year.
The world's largest producer of liquified helium is in Qatar and is shut off. We just got a notice that our supply for the year will be at least cut in half.
No one could have predicted this (unless they thought about it).
Contributing to the evolution of scientific conference: a fantastic work from the @ohbmenvironment.bsky.social !!
🛰️ 🌍 We have done a write up on the first ever OHBM Satellite Meeting, organized by the SEA-SIG in collab with OHBM!!
This meeting was a great success, and we're excited to open the doors to more sustainable ways to connect with other OHBMers in the future ✨

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

Currently recruiting 2 postdoc fellows, 1 Ph.D student and 1 research assistant to work on research projects about the EEG/fMRI mechanisms underlying temporal cognition and their modulations using VR.
DM if interested!
Le problème décrit ici (utilisation de gen AI pour faire de l'analyse de données et poof en fait les données étaient hallucinées depuis 3 mois), un cas d'école qui doit soulever deux questions :
- pourquoi personne n'a remarqué ça plus tôt?
- s'il faut tout revérifier, gagne-t-on vraiment du temps?
« Par exemple, Epstein a fait don de 800 000 dollars américains au Massachusetts Institute of Technology à Cambridge, ce qui a conduit deux scientifiques à démissionner et l'université à en suspendre un autre. »

Always good to see these kinds of complexities to counter simplistic narratives around dopamine "levels"...
Waiting for Inserm to do the same !
The only surprise is they admit it

Huh I wonder if there were any other global events happening in in 2008. Guess we’ll never know.

Kenza Bennis investigated daily reconfigurations of EEG functional networks in older adults and highlighted their associations with the presence of AD biomarkers, and longitudinal cognitive trajectories over seven years!
A great collaborative work !

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.

I do wonder what will happen after years of heavy AI users receive every statement prefixed with clappy-toddler-encouragement. I find this stuff extremely annoying/inefficient/insincere, but presumably it's being selected strongly in the reinforcement learning from human feedback...
