@MortenDDHansen Der er også mange i kulturindustrien som forsøger sig med samme logik. Kultur skulle efter sigende være godt for mange ting. Til dem siger jeg altid: Kultur er målet, ikke midlet!

1/10 Very excited to announce that my thesis project is now a preprint! We present the first detailed study of mental imagery in human ventral temporal cortex, bringing together the interests of @doristsao and @UeliRutishauser. https://t.co/LBukzKqMOA

@lnalborczyk @LPL_lab_Aix Congratulations. Well-deserved. Looking forward to following you and your team's work.

Science faces an explainability crisis: ML models can predict many natural phenomena but can't explain them

We tackle this issue in language neuroscience by using LLMs to generate *and validate* explanations with targeted follow-up experiments https://t.co/ow93AaFkqi 1/2

V happy that this study is now published in @eLife with nice reviews and a wonderful editorial assessment. Quantifying multimodal context (of spoken language) in naturalistic stimuli is not an easy task, but we hope this can provide some inspiration. 🧵https://t.co/tLPwGgX5cm

Folks in 🇩🇰 & beyond! On Oct 1st, we are hosting (@interact_minds) a workshop exploring research at the intersection of NLP x social sciences, cognition, & humanities, with 3 awesome keynotes by @dirk_hovy, @maria_antoniak & @sandropezzelle. Register here: https://t.co/6fB14qVM1E

@glupyan Interesting that people not doing a PhD develop a use of psychiatric medication relative to the onset of the PhD they are not doing.
