Based on our WhereToPublish database, we were curious to see if the APCs depend on the publisher type and with relatively no surprise at all, the journals that are for-profit are way above:
For-profit journals = 2635 +/- 37€ (mean +/- sem)
Non-profit & University Press journals = 1996 +/- 63€

Dear all, I'm happy to present you a side project done with @diegoharta.bsky.social @phylogenetrips.bsky.social & Lucas Baudouin regarding the publication landscape in Biology: wheretopublish.github.io 1/4

Unexplored deep-water worlds in Caribbean revealed for the first time Scientists discover underwater mountain ranges, golden towers of coral, and never-before-seen sea creatures.

It's Sunday, let's clean timeline with some feel good, non AI-slope, science discoveries with pretty images (except the featured image, gross!):

We show that synesthesia is sensory and automatic in nature: the pupil scales with the brightness of experienced synesthetic colors. doi.org/10.7554/eLif...
Now in its new dress @elife.bsky.social (convincing & valuable in round 1).
If anyone wants to pick up the method, happy to share & explain!

Big problem is how do you compute those without knowing when in time they happen?! Is the average a smoothed spatial and time representation?
When modelling time difference topos look much more similar hmp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/no...
Not sure this example is representative/well done (yet)

Great thanks a lot! I assume everything is on your github and will start from there :)

After a quick glance that is definitely a very good lead, thanks!

Does anyone have experience/resources on how to build interactive #statistics assignments in #R on a distributed computing server (e.g. running #Rstudio server) for more than 500 students?

If you don't identify to any of the topics it definitely worked, otherwise it didn't 😁

Oh no, for me I see the two I picked, for you only one

I also see only one for you (comput. Modelling), maybe a mobile version effect? Fun thing BTW thanks :)

A Movement-Independent Signature of Urgency During Human Perceptual Decision Making - PubMed How does the brain adjust its decision processes to ensure timely decision completion? Computational modelling and electrophysiological investigations have pointed to dynamic 'urgency' processes that serve to progressively reduce the quantity of evidence required to reach choice commitment as time e …

Check out our new paper which isolates a human brain signal that specifically tracks the growing urgency to commit to a choice pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41611534/. This one was a long time coming! Sterling work from @harveymccone.bsky.social and a bunch of past lab members!

Very interesting and solid study on the contribution of the earliest #EEG index of information processing*, i.e. the C1, to decision-making!

*or at least one of the earliest?

@elife.bsky.social

Only two days left to submit your abstract for this year's @mathpsych.org meeting. Some things to consider:
1. The conference is in Canada.
2. If you cannot attend in person, there is a virtual track. Consider submitting there! You can pick the track during the submission process.
See you there!

The OHBM DIC is calling for neuroimagers to share their work with children ages 8-15 and inspire the next generation of Brain Mappers. We welcome submissions to the event in Bordeaux and submissions for satellite events in your local community. This year's website: ohbm-dic.github.io/kidsreview/2...

Final paper of my PhD 🤗

There is growing interest in how cognitive control may improve value-based decision making.

However, we find that a recent paper overestimated the role of control in their task, leading to erroneous interpretations of dACC recordings.

I might have a bit of a Stockholm syndrome with matplotlib, but if you can easily call MNE I'm convinced!

New PhD and post-doc job openings!

Join me and Prof. Nina Kazanina @ Uni Geneva, Switzerland, to take part in an exciting project on relations and binding in language and vision, explored with cutting-edge neurophysiology (#iEEG and MEG).

Full details in the job offer below.

Must... Resist... To recode all my python things in Julia to work on main projects... But maybe the speed increase could compensate the invested time?

Any alternative experience on why I should not do it?

We are hiring! We are looking for a postdoc to join our group.

Join us to study how the human brain processes and recognizes music with iEEG recordings.

Please share and apply!

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.

Interpreting EEG requires understanding how the skull smears electrical fields as they propagate from the cortex. I made a browser-based simulator for my EEG class to visualize how dipole depth/orientation change the topomap.
