We strongly suggest using the following labels: praise: Praises highlight something positive. Try to leave at least one of these comments per review. Do not leave false praise (which can actually be damaging). Do look for something to sincerely praise. nitpick: Nitpicks are trivial preference-based requests. These should be non-blocking by nature. suggestion: Suggestions propose improvements to the current subject. It’s important to be explicit and clear on what is being suggested and why it is an improvement. Consider using patches and the blocking or non-blocking decorations to further communicate your intent. issue: Issues highlight specific problems with the subject under review. These problems can be user-facing or behind the scenes. It is strongly recommended to pair this comment with a suggestion. If you are not sure if a problem exists or not, consider leaving a question. todo: TODO’s are small, trivial, but necessary changes. Distinguishing todo comments from issues: or suggestions: helps direct the reader’s attention to comments requiring more involvement. question: Questions are appropriate if you have a potential concern but are not quite sure if it’s relevant or not. Asking the author for clarification or investigation can lead to a quick resolution. thought: Thoughts represent an idea that popped up from reviewing. These comments are non-blocking by nature, but they are extremely valuable and can lead to more focused initiatives and mentoring opportunities. chore: Chores are simple tasks that must be done before the subject can be “officially” accepted. Usually, these comments reference some common process. Try to leave a link to the process description so that the reader knows how to resolve the chore. note: Notes are always non-blocking and simply highlight something the reader should take note of.

I recently discovered Conventional Comments (conventionalcomments.org) for providing a pseudo-standard set of labels for feedback and just tried it for an article review and it was really helpful to specify issues vs. thoughts vs. suggestions, etc. Hopefully it's helpful for the authors too!

The ending of game 7 feels like a good time to ask for the goverment to increase investment in public mental health care in Canada.

I will be recruiting 🌟PhD students🌟 for my newish lab! If you're interested in learning & memory mechanisms applied to individual, interactive & collective behavior using computational modeling, real-world experiments and fMRI, email me! RTs much appreciated 🙏 rouhanilab.com

You may not have been alone 🫣 haha

Not every day a statistical text will be described as ⭐️interesting ⭐️but I believe today is the day. Reading the part about change scores.

[Aly Lab Logo: schematic of brain in shades of blue with two cut-out seahorses facing each other]. Postdoctoral Position in the Aly Lab at UC Berkeley. We are recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to work on NSF-funded research examining competition and cooperation in memory-guided attention. The position will be supervised by Dr. Mariam Aly (https://www.alylab.org/) in the Department of Psychology at UC Berkeley. Candidates should have a PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, or a related field, and expertise in studies of behavior as well as neuroimaging and/or eye tracking. This is a two-year position with a flexible start date. More details here: https://tinyurl.com/alylabpostdoc

I can't quite believe it – I got a new NSF grant! 😲🤯

I'm incredibly grateful to the program officers & reviewers for their dedication and efforts to keep science going 🌟👏🏼

So, I'll be hiring! Looking for a postdoc to study competition in memory-guided attention. See flyer for details! 🎉

My new university's logo is a PSI! How frickin cool is that!

Help me grow a new lab at in IU Bloomington! We're seeking brilliant young scientists interested in memory representations, neuromodulation & aging.

I was given the opportunity to write a brief highlight of a paper that is important to the field & personally meaningful, and I chose to write about @drjenryan.bsky.social's elegant work linking the hippocampus to eye movement markers of relational memory. Read more about it here! 👇🏼

We had a fascinating conversation with Dr. Louis Renoult (@renoultlouis.bsky.social) about all things memory! Here’s a preview of what we discussed and stay tuned for the full release of the episode later this week!

Happy 107th Birthday, Brenda Milner! Her contributions to neuropsychology shaped the way we understand the human brain. From surviving two world wars and two pandemics, to paving the way for future generations of researchers, Milner’s legacy continues. @mcgill.ca @cusm-muhc.bsky.social

Thanks for sharing this slide! Here is the ppt of my entire talk if anyone is interested. It was fun to present something different at OHBM! docs.google.com/presentation...

Come study in lovely London Ontario. Neuroscience and Neuroimaging (3T, 7T human, 9.4T and 15.2T animal) are two of our big strengths.

US-CAN Doctoral Excellence Award Western University, in vibrant London, Ontario, delivers an academic and student experience second to none.

My university has announced a special international graduate fellowship for PhD students whose acceptance at a US university has been rescinded. Check it out: grad.uwo.ca/finances/wes...

Experimentology cover: title and curves for distributions.

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

Does Forgiving Really Mean Forgetting? New research suggests that when you forgive past transgressions, your memories don’t fade, but your misery does.

Asking for a friend:

Does anyone have examples of SOPs for collaborative paper writing?

A poster showing icons for 40 different visualization types, categorized by goal – e.g. "showing shares" or "showing flows" or "showing developments over time".

📊 There are *so* many chart types out there. Which one should you use for what kind of data and goal?

I tried to answer the question in a new blog post (and poster!): www.datawrapper.de/blog/chart-t...

To make it easier to share teaching resources, I'd like to start by asking what your favorite cog psych videos are.

Let me start: I love showing this visual agnosia video in class. Kevin is articulate about his recognition problems.

What's your favorite? I'll compile your responses & share them.
