How does aging affect inter-brain synchrony & communication?

preprint w/@introspection @GwilliamsL @TessaWestNYU @EmilyMech & Kara Federmeier!

We reflect on synchrony in cross-generational verbal communication with older adults.

Which is the best Starburst flavor?

I never liked how R Markdown places plots and results in line by default and so this is one of my favorite RStudio setups I share with students

@scientific_al I wanted to do this too, but had the same fogging/muffled problem as some other people mentioned. I also found that they didn't fit very well because they were less flexible. :/ I've just been using the mic in class and so far so good.

@MenendezCastano I remember hearing about this project in our thesis class! Huge Congrats!! :)

I'm about to start teaching in person, and I am looking for a mask that will allow lip reading. Does anyone have any recommendations, especially if you've found a mask that doesn't fog? Thanks!

While discussing data management practices in our @UCDavisPsych ReproducibilitTea group last quarter (@tea_at_davis), we wondered, what would a graduate-level data management course look like?

My lectures from Spring 2021's cs124, "From Languages to Information", our Stanford undergrad course introducing NLP, IR, chatbots, recommendation systems, social networks (+ some guest lectures from @chrmanning!) are now online, hope they're useful! https://t.co/ENWVOhEzyz

@mtroyer_ I just got reviews back last week from a paper I submitted in December!

Dear tweeps,
What are the must-read papers on concepts in the mind/brain?

I'll start off with the chapter by Laurence and Margolis

Happy to share a new preprint (with @CABlabUIUC)! Across five datasets (n=138) we show (and replicate) that N400 amplitude is sensitive to word (log)probability even in incongruent words (with word predictability estimated by a language model - GPT-2). https://t.co/gDVpgy9yJy

I’m gearing up to teach a course at CMU on visualizing data in R with ggplot (and a bit of R Markdown, too) & am compiling a list of extra resources. If you have a top-notch favorite blog post/tutorial/etc on any ggplot-related topic (or a fun public data set!), please share! 🙏🏻

Even if you’re fully vaccinated, the CDC recommends not asking graduate students how long they have left until they graduate.

[Ryan Hubbard @bosscillations]

Hooray! I'm happy to share that my paper with @CABlabUIUC using RSA with EEG data to examine prediction has been published in Cerebral Cortex. https://t.co/7rovnmwAYl

I posted a number of electrophysiology and signal processing demos here on twitter over the last year. collected them on this page with tags: https://t.co/H3HXaQUsma

@professionallyp Happy Birthday!

@NakamuraMegan I think it depends on what you hope to understand in your analysis of that item! In the past, I've had participants list any and all that they feel apply.
