🚨Very excited to see our work on warmth & sycophancy in LLMs out in @Nature today!🚨
We study what happens when LLMs are fine-tuned to be warmer, and find that warmth and sycophancy can be linked, with warm models showing higher errors on a range of benchmarks (🔗s below)
Learn best practices in fMRI preprocessing and explore how analytic variability affects reproducibility through multiverse analyses
Led by four incredible neuroimaging experts:
🔹 Dr. Thomas Liu
🔹 Dr. Alan Simmons
🔹 Dr. Guarav Patel
🔹 Dr. Jack Grindband
Registration for #SANS2026 is still open!
Ever wonder how much your fMRI preprocessing choices shape your results? 🤔
Register now for the #SANS2026 pre-conference workshop: Navigating the fMRI Multiverse!
New: The National Institutes of Health is canceling grants that are seen as conflicting with the Trump administration's priorities. We want to hear from researchers who have been affected. https://t.co/4ovm65Hocr
There are days in life that shake you.
I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at @Columbia & academic career... 1/🧵
Haven't been on here in forever.. time to share new work from my social media shy grad student Jordan Dejoie, looking at how social rejection shapes the desire for choice. Check it out here (https://t.co/1pFY2FJ6Cl) and in @APA_journals Emotion. w/@melanieziur & @emilygbrudner
Mind, Brain, Body - the first longitudinal project on the gut-brain-immune axis from @BABLab_UCLA - now has a protocol paper - led by the wonderful @ShibaEsfand and with contributions from the whole lab via #paperinaday ❤️🌟🎉
Not on here much lately, so I'm a little late with this one.. but new paper!––an fMRI meta-analysis of cue-reactivity patterns in users of heroin and cocaine. Led by my social media shy grad student Jordan Dejoie, w/ @_AnnaKonova_ and @DVSneuro
