AI is threatening science jobs. Which ones are most at risk? Data-analysis and modelling positions are already becoming obsolete, but hands-on experimentalists can breathe easy for now.

seems to me it is a misunderstanding of what data analysis in research is about - even the best coder in the world cannot do it if the science being done is not understood, domain knowledge remains key

main thing for today done 😍

I couldn't find a tool to plot different #neuroimaging data in one consistent style, so I made one! Meet yabplot (yet another brain plot) - a #Python package for (sub)cortex & tracts.🧠
- Simple API
- Built-in atlases
- Custom atlas support

Causal parametric language mapping with electrical stimulation during awake neurosurgery Temporal parameters of direct electrical stimulation reveal dissociable stages of language processing.

Beautiful new work on cortical stimulation mapping moving beyond traditional binary classifications of causal functional classifications.

Do you ever argue with your LLM chatbot? I found myself writing something back, and then I'm like 'wtf', just give it another rule to follow 😅

1) participants' metadata, in particular demographics, are a bigger risk for privacy 2) we have created a new metric k-global that gives you the relative importance of each variable for anonymity and 3) BIDS compliant little python package to help everyone with data curation.

no one should follow blindly a procedure not thinking about it -- some philosophical value in that respect, but not what anti-registration people think this is about .. (I can already see misuse in citations)

Is scientific reform an unwinnable arms race? Methodological improvements should, in theory, mean more robust evidence and inference, and more rapid advances in knowledge. However, these methods are often subsequently used in the pursuit of…

Improvements to methods should lead to more robust evidence and more rapid advances in knowledge. In their Perspective, Marcus Munafò & @mendelrandom.bsky.social look at why this hasn't been the case and what can be done about it #AcademicSky 🧪

apparently there is a cool paper for Risk Assessment using different privacy metrics that's coming out in @imagingneurosci.bsky.social 😅

hey Alex, if you can send me a copy that would be great (no neuron access) thx

SPM—30 years and beyond Abstract. This paper marks the 30th anniversary of the Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) software and the journal Cerebral Cortex: two modest milestones

“From mapping to explaining brain function: the generative theoretical ambition of SPM” - our article in Cerebral Cortex forms part of our 30(ish) year celebration of SPM.

Left: Pathways involved in brain energy metabolism. Energy metabolism refers to processes involved in energy production from nutrient molecules. Glucose is the main energy source in the brain under normal physiological conditions. Glucose entering brain cells can be utilized in three parallel pathways. It can be processed through glycolysis to produce 2 ATP and 2 pyruvate molecules (blue). Lactate dehydrogenases catalyze the interconversion of lactate and pyruvate (purple). Pyruvate is transported into mitochondria, where it enters the TCA cycle to generate high-energy electron carriers NADH and FADH2 (green), driving the complete oxidation of glucose through the mitochondrial electron transport chain (red). Glucose entering the brain can also enter the PPP. PPP is an anabolic pathway that uses glucose to produce 5-carbon sugars and NADPH, an essential co-factor used in nucleotide and lipid biosynthesis (yellow). Glucose can also be stored in the form of glycogen via glycogen synthase, a process mainly active in astrocytes. Right: Energy pathway maps. Colors show z-scored mean expression values across all genes in each pathway. ppp, pentose phosphate pathway; tca, tricarboxylic acid cycle; oxphos, oxidative phosphorylation; lactate, lactate metabolism and transport.

How are energy #metabolism pathways distributed across the #cortex? @alaindagher.bsky.social &co map five pathways in the human #brain, linking metabolic organization with brain structural & functional properties, as well as developmental dynamics @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4c1JVp8

Part 1: How do LLMs work? YouTube video by Andrew Perfors

I just created a series of seven deep-dive videos about AI, which I've posted to youtube and now here. 😊

Targeted to laypeople, they explore how LLMs work, what they can do, and what impacts they have on learning, well-being, disinformation, the workplace, the economy, and the environment.
