[Emily Finn @esfinn]

Thx for discussing! Zooming out tho, what's the ultimate goal of brain-based identification? No matter how good it gets, we'll likely always have better ways to ID people (eg DNA, actual fingerprints). Behavior prediction is more interesting/important IMO: https://t.co/ncPfl3U1JI

Some comments about Brain Fingerprinting

[Emily Finn @esfinn]

@dan_marinazzo @matteo_brainnet There are terminology hills I'm willing to die on, but this is not one of them

[Emily Finn @esfinn]

@dan_marinazzo @matteo_brainnet I could be correlated with myself at 0.9 and everyone else at 0.88 (FP 100%), but does that make me just as "unique" as if I'm correlated with myself at 0.9 and everyone else at 0.1 (also FP 100%)? Technically yes (?), but doesn't square with most ppl's intuitive understanding

[Emily Finn @esfinn]

@dan_marinazzo @matteo_brainnet I suppose one could say these newer metrics are technically no longer "fingerprinting", but they're clearly conceptually related, and I can see why it's useful to have an umbrella term. I'm not personally in the business of policing FP terminology 🤷‍♀️

[Emily Finn @esfinn]

@dan_marinazzo The og FP metric (avg binary accuracy) is a useful summary stat, but there are different ways to get good FP: low within-subj variability and/or high across-subj variability. These have diff interpretations, and the newer metrics @matteo_brainnet outlines better tease them apart

Social psych friends: do you know of--or have and are willing to share--any dataset(s) of open-ended conversations with survey outcome measures (e.g., enjoyment, connectedness)? Dyads preferred, but >2 speakers also fine. Like the 🔥 CANDOR dataset (even if smaller). Thanks!!

[Emily Finn @esfinn]

@FINNLab_neuro @katieoneuro @csavasegal @Rekha_Va @qiliang_kay @Eshjolly #CCN2024 Finally, also in the Friday poster session, I will do my best to present work led by @tommy_botch on divergences between humans and LLMs in a next-word prediction task and what they might mean: https://t.co/NEf83J4TWi

Looking forward to catching up with everyone!

[Emily Finn @esfinn]

Proud to have the entire @FINNLab_neuro at #CCN2024! Here's where you can catch us:

First up, Katie O'Nell @katieoneuro has a talk in tomorrow morning's session (Thurs 9:30am) about a new way to quantify what makes conversation good (hint: think pink 🩷🎀💅)

[Emily Finn @esfinn]

@FINNLab_neuro @katieoneuro @csavasegal #CCN2024 Also on Friday, Zishan Su, @Rekha_Va, @qiliang_kay, and @Eshjolly debut some results from our new paradigm to parameterize how people vary in whether they perceive a social interaction -- and if so, what type of social interaction they perceive: https://t.co/6i48tNu7TE
