I usually don’t write political posts on Twitter, but I wanted to clarify a few things about the situation in Israel.

An impressive new work by the great Seth Koslov on medial parietal cortex subdivisions!

[Seth Koslov @skoslov]

Ever notice medial parietal cortex in neuroimaging studies of episodic memory and wonder what's going on there?

In our preprint (https://t.co/odsDJR1T3i) we identify interleaving subregions responsive to memory-decisions vs semantic content during recognition within individuals.

One of the best things on Twitter just started again - "live tweets" from World War II, following the war in real time (from September 1, 1939). Highly recommended. https://t.co/jFW2LyZPMI

[The Epstein Lab @epstein_lab]

Come join us in Philly! @epstein_lab @Penn has postdoc openings on NIH-funded projects that use advanced fMRI methods to investigate the neural basis of cognitive maps (broadly defined), spatial navigation, and spatial/nonspatial memory in humans. Collaboration with @NoraNewcombe

1/9 Paper is out https://t.co/qzSCPHFQPn

Here's some takeaways including new tidbits (good & bad!) since the preprint & even after the paper was accepted.

Large sample sizes are helpful for individual-level prediction. We have known that for quite some time, but the recent...

New preprint @PsyArXiv from @LinChujun & me! "Fooled by beautiful #data: #Visualization aesthetics bias trust in science, news, and social media." Across 4 studies, we show that people (mis)place more trust in more beautiful graphs. Paper: https://t.co/MgwnAB0cU8 Explainer 🧵👇

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: You must cross-validate sorted plots!! E.g. peak-latency sorted colormaps of neural activity. Otherwise you WILL find "sequences" out of random noise. Don't believe me? A proof in four lines. Anyone feel like you have seen the last panel before?

Very excited to share new work with @AvivMezer in @ScienceMagazine! We show that glial cells in histological slices reveal local fiber orientations in the white matter. Article: https://t.co/HbxyoaWQjY. Code: https://t.co/1DEBDMCMPc.
