Excited to see the final version of our manuscript out! We find that OPM-MEG reliably captures neural activity comparable to other neuroimaging methods.

Thank you to the reviewers for their thoughtful feedback and to @s_michelmann for his mentorship on this project. 🧠😄

[Andre F. de Sousa @deSousa_AndreF]

It is finally out! Excited to share the main work from my postdoc in the Silva Lab at UCLA.

We investigated how memories are organized in the brain (https://t.co/nvXVa1XUDK).

Yale professor perfectly explains childhood privilege.

New Annual Review with @nathanieldaw. We argue that the planning machinery of the brain is mostly used for learning from simulated experience, and that thinking prospectively at decision time is just one special case of this more general process.

[Emmy Liu @_emliu]

wrote a guide on getting compute grants as a student, something I wish I did more at the beginning of my PhD. It's honestly one of the highest ROI things you can do as a student (we've gotten 100k+ gpu hrs for roughly 2 weeks of work writing).

Academia isn't about fame, or money, or approval. It's about downloading as many pdfs as you can before you die

1/8 Our preprint is now a peer-reviewed paper :) Big thanks to our reviewers who pushed us to examine our results more carefully and Olivier Wyart (https://t.co/pQgGhUgdQi) for the exquisite visual. https://t.co/uQzvMXhB7r

[Pieter Roelfsema @Pieters_Tweet]

Why do some regions in an image look like “objects” and even appear stronger?
We show that Gestalt cues (convexity, closure) not only define figures, but boost perceived contrast and neural responses in areas V1/V4 of the visual cortex.

[Ya'el Courtney, PhD @ScienceYael]

One of the most common questions I get: "what are PhD programs actually looking for?" Usually because students have been told contradictory things by different mentors.

Wrote up what actually matters and what you can stop worrying about:

@astro_reid In this image, also taken from the Orion capsule, we see the divide between night and day, known as the terminator, cutting across Earth. Whether awake or dreaming, we're all here on this planet together.
