@parcelforce Hello @parcelforce I have sent you a dm with the tracking details of my parcel, please can you provide assistance

[Alex Bowring @ABNeuroscience]

I released the online version of my number puzzle game Summit today, free to play in browser. Aimed at mathsy types with a few minutes to kill!

@BrainStatsSam Should have thought to ask you! Thanks man :) dm me your gmail and I’ll send you the link

[Alex Bowring @ABNeuroscience]

I have been developing a free mobile number puzzle game, and excitingly its now in Early Access on Google Play. If you own an Android, like number games (sudoku, nerdle etc.), and would like to test the game, please get in contact. See the video here for more details and a demo!

[Summit Number Game @SummitMathsGame]

Summit is a new number puzzle game that will be releasing for free on Android/iPhone. Seeking Android Early Access testers. If you like number games and own an Android, watch here for more details

The PROV ontology can be used to model provenance information for data generated from multiple entities and processes. But what if my workflow contains a feedback loop? I.e recursively generating and updating data in light of new information. Is there a way to model this?

@JonnyHart93 You must have forgot some of our classic matches Jonny 😂

@LeftHandedDave @grassmannian @SC_Griffith As you point out, ii) could equally be phrased as assuming that if it works for n=M then it must work for n=M+1. The point is, knowing that statement is true for n=1 and combining with ii) means its also true for n=2. Then combining with ii) again means it’s true for n=3, etc.

[Alex Bowring @ABNeuroscience]

@LeftHandedDave @grassmannian @SC_Griffith This isn’t quite the logic of induction though. i) you show the statement holds in the case n=1. ii) you assume the statement holds for n=N, and show that if this is the case, then it must also hold for n=N+1. Combining i) and ii) proves the statement for all n > 0

@helenahhartmann @m_wall From what I can see, the code in the es_cpi_spm is computing confidence intervals for cohen's d rather than cohen's g. The bias correction factor that converts d to g (J in the script) is not used in the loops where the CI's are created. Happy to be corrected if i am mistaken!

[Alex Bowring @ABNeuroscience]

@m_wall Perhaps this may help:

Problem to solve:
r(a,b)=x; r(b,c)=x; r(a,c)=0, where r is correlation. How large can x be??

These results highlight the importance of replication/reproduction and the need for further work towards pipeline harmonization.
Group-level maps for all workflows shared on Neurovault, scripts shared on Github/OSF. See the manuscript for full details and full results! 5/5

Isolating the Sources of Pipeline-Variability in Group-Level Task-fMRI results - now out in HBM! w/ @ten_photos & @cmaumet

Reanalyzing 3 task-fMRI studies with workflows that interchange between AFNI, FSL and SPM at different stages of the pipeline. 1/5

[Alex Bowring @ABNeuroscience]

But we also identify analysis step manipulations that cause minimal differences in the final results. E.g., group-level results were largely unaffected by changes in the software used to model the low-frequency fMRI drifts. 4/5

@SimonSchw4b @smithinst Thank you Simon! Hope things are going well with you!

[Alex Bowring @ABNeuroscience]

Today was my last day in academia. I'm very excited to be joining @smithinst as a mathematical consultant on 22nd November. As an RA, PhD student and postdoc I had so many good times I will remember, thank you to all friends and collaborators that have helped me along the way!
