Scientific colour maps Scientific color map suite of perceptually uniform and color-blind friendly color gradients.

Personally, for diverging maps I like dark-mode ones like Berlin from @fabiocrameri.ch (again, because I'm used to blue = negative, red = positive from jet).

And for sequential I like viridis and inferno because I'm pretty basic 🙂

I suspect many people like jet, mainly because it's familiar.

And there's nothing wrong with that. Aesthetics are subjective 🙂

Imo that's why turbo is great; it doesn't require a huge shift in thinking if you're used to jet 👍👍👍

Please repost for visibility and also add more resources to this list! Thanks 🙏

4) @fabiocrameri.ch created some awesome perceptually uniform, variant-colour-vision-friendly maps.

My favourite feature of these: The *circular* ones are really good for plotting things like oscillatory phase 👍👍👍

3) Really in love with the jet aesthetic? No fear! Folks at Google created a 'more jet than jet' colormap that solves many of the problems of the original.

2) Using MATLAB? Steal the ones from python/matplotlib (part 2)

cbrewer has nice diverging colormaps like blue-to-white-to-red or blue-to-yellow-to-red if you want to keep that aspect of jet.

1) Using MATLAB? Steal the ones from python/matplotlib (part 1)

These sequential colormaps are perceptually uniform and I think they're pretty.

Doing a lit search and finding many recent papers still using the jet colormap 😭😭😭

Please don't use this colormap for anything because it's not perceptually uniform (changes of equal size don't look equal) and not friendly to people with variant colour vision.

Looks like a great opportunity for someone with a background in brain stimulation.

The Maastricht brainstim gang are very kind and collaborative and Maastricht is a lovely city🙂

Academia needs more co-operation internally, and needs to fight mistrust being sown against it externally. So little things like this are important.

Curious what the rest of you think. Have I missed anything? 4/4 end

b)
The first framing makes receiving the award feel like an *end point*. 'We worked hard for years and now we've got this. Hurrah.'

The second framing emphasises that the award is a *beginning*. 'We've been given a chance to do something important. We'll do our best. You can count on us.' 3/4

a)
The first framing centers the *competition*. 'We're the winners because we got the money. You lose.' It's zero-sum thinking.

The second framing centers the *outputs* of research. 'When the funding is done, the whole world will have this thing. Everybody wins.' Non-zero-sum 2/4

Two framings

1: We're proud of <researcher> for getting <grant> because it's prestigious and really hard to get.

2: We're proud of <researcher> for getting <grant> because it enables them to do research that's really important.

I see versions of 1 a lot but think 2 is MUCH better.

Here's why 1/4

Fascinating!

Yep 👍

It turns out that a lot of Matlab users didn't know it either... 🙂

Even worse, don't rely on default-on-initialisation values for your random seed 😱😱😱

I did some drama about this on the birdsite once: blogs.mathworks.com/matlab/2022/...

Nice job @dotproduct.bsky.social and Peter! 💪

Really looking forward to reading this from @eelkespaak.bsky.social

I love this kind of fundamental-assumptions-about-what-the-brain-is-doing stuff.

Is the the neuroimaging community (broadly conceived) submitting to 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 again?????

Not to be publication police but the shift had seemed major 1-2 years ago.
Looking at the editorial board it seems to have serious scientists once more.
Curious about thoughts of the community.

Ever wondered about the variety and depth of neuroscience research at the University of Birmingham (if not, why not?)? Seek no further: www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/pro...

I get the main point and agree. Just have a quick question about 'r~-0.7'.

Are you saying r~-0.7 because that would mean r^2~0.49 i.e. about half the variance explained?

High praise. I appreciate it ❤️

Goed bezig @stanvanpelt.bsky.social!

Definitely picking this up next time I pass through NL.

Help out with a survey of TMS research practices!
