Very cool - and useful for generating predictions/simulations based on pilot data (if you think the pilot data is representative)

it is - but now you also have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that can take phone calls! I still take mine out sometimes, but stick with it - you’ll find you’re less tired in the evening from active listening all day

Hi #canadian researchers - please sign this petition to help ensure funding isn’t cut to tri council agencies (NSERC, SSHRC, and CIHR). We’re looking at potential 15% cuts to ALL federal spending including grants win.newmode.net/canadianasso...

That sounds so cool! Lucky students!

Teaching graduate statistics is such a wonderful experience - I love being in the position where I can say here are all these cool resources, here's what you can do, here's how to do good science #academicsky #R

Definitely had a few, but not quite that many all at once. Block and report them

This is such cool work Hunter - by any chance did you look at whether the participants had prosthetics?

Fantastic - please add me!

Mostly looking at language loss with dementia progression & new ways of assessing that carefully. Lots of implications for how we should measure language and cognition in the presence of cognitive decline before making inferences about cognitive reserve though!

Forgot to tag @marcocalabria.bsky.social - and it appears Boon Lead Tee is not on Bluesky

Fantastic #AAIC session on Language as a Lens chaired by Dr. Marco Calabria and Dr. Boon Lead Tee. This was such an exciting session & I love the integration of new technology and tools for assessing language and its relation to dementia and cognition.

This is a great initiative @nirx-nirs.bsky.social - do you do something similar?

I wonder if #AI will close academic discourse even further as people mistrust people they don’t already know. We were already being flooded with papers pre-A.I., now we need a way to verify quality in an era when the internet is being hit with a tsunami of content. #academia

Maybe this is what print newspapers and letter mail needs to recover…

Would it be possible to have ONE sign on for all journals? It would be absolutely glorious to have a single place to submit, track your review assignments etc. Going through the dance of what's your password for Elsevier/Cambridge/Sage etc journal X, reset, login every time is getting old. #academia

The Royal Society is offering £4 million per researcher for scientists in the USA who want to move to the UK. The money offered is £30 million in all for all the Fellowships. These Faraday Fellowships are for 5 to 10 years.

To any international #U.S. bound students who may have had their lives upturned by recent events, please consider #Carleton, consider #Canada. I am open to applications from graduate students #academia.

My mac has started making an ominous clicking noise - time to make sure the Time Machine backup is current…

Looks very cool, would also be useful for studying older adults

Easytopo outputs for a two-back minus one-back contrast.

Original plotting was with easytopo, but it’s easy enough to replot using surfice.

HbO2 for a 2-Back -1-Back contrast

Great to see some of the lab’s first #fNIRS data come through (this is HbO2 for a 2-Back -1-Back contrast)

That’s awesome Andrea!

Saw this quotation the other day & it resonates “You need to be brave enough to be bad at something new.” I may pin this one to my office door

Every year I get to write an annual report. Inevitably I start tackling this only grudgingly, but then, as I start to fill this out, I see the incredible work the team has accomplished over the past year which is humbling and inspiring. This year was great, I can’t wait for next year!

Interesting, I found this link provides a good (open access) tutorial via the easystats package in R easystats.github.io/parameters/a...

grades submitted 🙂 and once again, this Excel/Google Spreadsheets formula saves me so much time:
=IFS(AA2>=90, "A+",
AA2>=85, "A",
AA2>=80, "A-",
AA2>=77, "B+",
AA2>=73, "B",
AA2>=70, "B-",
AA2>=67, "C+",
...)

This is the method you guys used for that really cool poster I saw recently with fMRI data & natural listening isn’t it? I’m so glad you reminded me about this!

This is unbelievable…

As an MRI guy, I don’t understand why positive going waves are plotted negatively and vice-versa 🤷‍♂️
