Do you know what the students are looking for in these « alternate courses »? How are they better than the real thing?

This piece hit hard for me, as it tracks with why my daughter stopped playing soccer at recess. The boys wouldn't let the girls play with them--only against them and with fewer players. But when girls scored anyway, some boys would cheat and play to hurt the girls, to the point where it wasn't fun.

Très contente d’avoir participé à ce super projet! En espérant inspirer les chercheurs et chercheuses à se lancer dans la vulgarisation 👩🏼‍🏫

Thanks, this is a good summary of our thinking process so far : )

stupid #stats question: in our dataset (~150 teenagers), we observe outliers (+/-3SD from the mean). However, we know from larger datasets (n ~ 1500) that their values are credible (the variability in the general population is larger than in our sample).
=> Do we keep or exclude our 'outliers'?

I called the dad, tried to understand his motives, and when it was clear he would not feel ok with this, we cancelled the scan. We did give the kid the GRAND TOUR though, and they still loved it but oof that was though

This is so true! Thanks for sharing!

We have a *permanent* position available for a research engineer (ingénieur de recherche) to work in our new MEG-OPM facility. A strong scientific focus is possible. Speaking French is required. If you're interested, please let me know!

This is what we did. I still felt uneasy because the kid was there and willing to participate, so we also gave her the Grand Tour and showed them everything cool we could show. But this was really though indeed

Two postdoc positions in the lab within the ERC Synergy project "Chronology" in collaboration with S. Ostojic, M. Jazayeri and V. van Wassenhove @virginievanw.bsky.social . Two focuses: sound sequences representations across the brain & novel all-optical technology. Contact: brice.bathellier@cnrs.fr

maybe also @thepelicanlab.bsky.social ?

What do you do ?

Ok, development and ethics peeps, I have a testing dilemma for you:

A kid comes to the lab to take part in a neuroimaging study (EEG, MRI, cognition) with their mom. Consent is signed (only 1 legal guardian signature is required by ethics). The parents are divorced, the dad freaks out and

C'est assez hallucinant de voir un communiqué signé par 5 sociétés médicales qui soit à ce point bourré d'affirmations péremptoires non soutenues par les données scientifiques.

Sometimes Brussels is absolutely stunning

Children working in markets in India could solve complex applied math problems, but they couldn't solve easier problems when presented in an academic style. Kids in school had opposite results: good on abstract problems, but terrible on an applied market (i.e., real life) problem.

Great job by Ruben (@rubenbolling.bsky.social).

This could explain why teenagers still struggle (less than children, but more than adults) in noisy environments.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on this !

Neural signatures of stream segregation: From childhood to adulthood When faced with noisy environments, listeners perform auditory scene analysis, which allows them to parse the auditory target from concurrent interferences. Stream segregation involves organizing simi...

New preprint ! 🧠 Neural signatures of (nonlinguistic) stream segregation keep maturing from childhood to adulthood. The amplitude of the P400 (one of those "signatures") predicts speech perception in noise - already in kids.

Come along to my (free, online) UCL NeuroAI talk next week on neural architectures. What are they good for? All will finally be revealed and you'll never have to think about that question again afterwards. Yep. Definitely that.

Yes! Now bookmarked and about to be shared with team members 🤩
