- Reposted by Dan HandwerkerOver the years, I have written a few Jupyter/Rmd/Matlab notebooks that attempt to teach some statistical concepts, particularly in neuroimaging. You can find them here: www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/rik.h..., though I will say a bit more about each one in a number of posts over next few days.
- Reposted by Dan HandwerkerI am recruiting a Postdoc to join my lab at UMN. If you or someone you know is interested in studying individual differences in brain and cognitive aging, check out the listing and my website in my bio and apply! I appreciate RTs to help get the word out as well :)
- Reposted by Dan HandwerkerWith some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world: gershmanlab.com/textbook.html It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class. My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.
- Reposted by Dan HandwerkerFive years ago, I had a very sick child and referrals to several pediatric medical specialists and tests in a building a few blocks from the US Capitol. The kid got a diagnosis. Treatment worked. But for me, January 6, 2020 means memories of rescheduling medical appointments for a very sick child.
- Reposted by Dan HandwerkerSo I made a little simulation where there is no actual discordance, i.e. the underlying values from which the CBF, CBV, BOLD, and T2* are measured all move in lockstep. With zero noise this gives you zero discordant voxels (nice little diagonal line).

- I'm not able to attend #SfN25 this year but I'm enjoying all the posts giving me a hint of all the great science being shared there.
- I've enjoyed how Jason Chen, my brother-in-law and Melrose, MA city council member-elect, worked to clearly communicate what city governments do & how they function (while showing off a bit of his art and drafting skills) youtu.be/RehrElsji7w?... youtu.be/UQ8Ohc1six0?... youtu.be/ofTRdLS9zP4?...
