I numeri in medicina Puntata podcast · Parliamone bene · P 3 · 28 min

4/4 🧵 B-Hu-Well è finanziato da PRIN 2022 PNRR e nasce dalla collaborazione tra ISTC-CNR Roma, Università di Trento e Università Cattolica.

🎧 Ascolta l’episodio completo: podcasts.apple.com/it/podcast/i...

3/4 🧵 "Parliamone bene" è il podcast del progetto B-Hu-Well, dedicato a comunicazione, ragionamento e scelte che influenzano il benessere individuale e collettivo 🧠💬

A cura di Bigi, Pighin e Paglieri, con la conduzione di Paolo Moretti.

🎬Produzione: Designplatform

2/4 🧵 Capire i numeri non vuol dire eliminare il dubbio: significa imparare a gestirlo.
Dalle diagnosi alle previsioni, la percezione del rischio dipende anche da come i dati vengono raccontati.
Un passaggio chiave per decisioni più consapevoli.

1/4 🧵 Le prof.sse Stefania Pighin, Katya Tentori e Lucia Savadori esplorano il linguaggio dell’incertezza: come percentuali e probabilità orientano le decisioni e il rapporto medico-paziente.

Nella terza puntata del podcast “Parliamone bene” del progetto B-Hu-Well.

🧵 2/2 When predictions are generated, semantic representational regions (precuneus, left angular gyrus) show reduced activity, evidence of facilitated processing.

🧵1/2 Belluzzi & Fairhall @cimecunitrento.bsky.social, show that context-specific predictions of semantic content rely on a left-dominant fronto-temporo-parietal network, the Active Prediction Network, partially overlapping with the semantic control system.

2/2🧵 Article: Prevalence of left-handers and their role in antagonistic sports: beyond mere counts towards a more in-depth distributional analysis of ranking data

Authors: Simon, Loffing & Frasnelli (Royal Society Open Science, 2025)

#sportsanalytics

1/2🧵 Ranking-based analysis: left-handers are overrepresented across tiers, and especially at the top, in fencing & table tennis.

While the classic "rare style" advantage helps explain this, other factors may also be at play.
