How dynamics arise from the structure is my biggest interest. In this study, we started with a small step and asked how structure constrains dynamics. Spoiler: would that it were so simple… (1/6)

Congratulations Laurin!

The story of the chimney see Santa baby, and blood and joyous so world and joy and good will to see Santa baby bore sweet Jesus Christ Fa la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la. King of toys and hippopotamuses [sic] full of the light of that stood at the dear Son of Santa Claus He was born in a wonderful christmas tree Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolf the new born King.

On this day of Christmas I bring to you: Christmas carols generated by a tiny vintage neural net.

This is from 2017, when I trained the neural net from scratch on my laptop using just Christmas carols.

In retrospect I can see the neural net got mixed signals

Authors retract Science paper on controversial fMRI method Several MRI artifacts contribute to the neuronal activity signal picked up by the method, according to a preprint the authors posted this month.

Science is self correcting. Finally!

Proposal for how to fix family wise error rates.

For every uncorrected p value you must add an extra letter to the claim.
