ONE OF THE MOST logistically complex studies reported @ohbm is Meike Hettwer +Sofie Valk’s new comparison of 6 common brain disorders pooling data from 170 diverse international @enigmabrains labs across the world, with 300+ actively contributing co-authors - their incredible new study examines how the deficit patterns in the cortex align with the 2 famous principal gradients of human cortical organization and are arguably accentuations of normal modes of cortical variation.

İnsanlar kendileri için gerçekten anlamı olan bir işte çalışabilmek için, 3'te 1 daha düşük maaşa bile razı oluyorlar.

Researchers paired strangers in a lab, let them talk for 1-45 minutes, then separately asked when each person wanted the conversation to end.

Only ~2% ended when both people wanted them to.

Usually, when one person was ready to leave the other had no idea.

完璧主義者は、よく働くが、よく成果を出すとは限らない。

2025年のメタ分析（9,560人）

・完璧主義は労働時間と関連
・ただし、仕事の成果と関連したのは、高い基準を目指す努力型の完璧主義だけ
・失敗恐怖・自己批判型の完璧主義は、成果とは関連なし

China once implemented a major innovation policy that rewarded regional governors for patents made in their area.

This led to thousands of patents for things like spoons and bottle openers, diapers, and even instructions on how to fry various foods.

Patents were corrupted.

This is now published in @NatureMedicine. We build upon our previous speech brain-to-text BCI work to show:
(1) almost 2 years of high performance
(2) independent at home use
(3) 99% word accuracy with a 125k word vocab

Psikologların %82'si yaşam boyu en az bir ruh sağlığı sorunu yaşadığını bildiriyor ve neredeyse yarısı psikolojik bir hastalık tanısına sahip.

How do signals generated in the cortex appear on the scalp #EEG, and what can they tell us about where activity originates in the brain? This review paper explains the biophysical principles.

-Çekicilik puanındaki her bir birimlik artış, erkeklerde kendi işini kurma olasılığını %10.45 oranında artırıyor.
-Kendi işini kuran çekici erkekler daha çok kazanıyorlar.
-Zekâ, çekici olmayan bir erkeğin geliri için daha önemli.

賢い人の脳は省エネ：
必要のない脳活動を止めるのがうまい、という神経効率性仮説

fMRI研究では、知能が高い人ほど課題中の脳活動の増え方が小さく、難しい課題ではDMN（雑念や内省に関わるネットワーク）をより強く抑制

知性とは、脳を酷使する力ではなく、無駄な処理を手放す力なのかも

We've known that socioeconomics (SES) matters for the 🧠. New & 🤯 is that SES drowns out all other brain associations, incl. IQ. If you train an algorithm to predict IQ from brain data, it's still way better at predicting SES. Science Magazine: https://t.co/YDplPlNJ5o

There is a new emergent caste system in academia. The high priests, thinking what they do is special and rare, look down on AI use as "slop."

Unfortunately for them, Fable / GPT 5.5 Pro can do in 10-15 min what they spent years learning and feeling special about.

So like true high priests they will develop more guardrails and initiation ceremonies to determine who enters the temple. This would be a mistake. The correct approach is to embrace AI use and do more creative science that was not possible before.
