- Reposted by Javeria HashmiSir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

For aficionados of timing, prediction, psychophysics-and anyone who wants to look at something other than the news to be distracted-a new study by Matthias Grabenhorst and Georgios Michalareas: The anticipation of imminent events is time-scale invariant www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.... #neuroskyence - Initiating grant spiral 🌀 If you need me, leave offerings of coffee and low expectations. #AcademicLife #FundedOrFeral
- Reposted by Javeria HashmiNew paper led by wonder postdocs Francesca Greenstreet and @jessegeerts.bsky.social and @clopathlab.bsky.social trying to understand why –in the "what for" sense– there are multiple motor learning systems –supervised and RL-based– in the brain. Check out Jesse's 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
- 🧠 New year, new preprint! Why does motor learning involve multiple brain regions? We propose that the cortico-cerebellar system learns a "map" of actions where similar movements are nearby, while basal ganglia do RL in this simplified space. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

- Reposted by Javeria HashmiHeart rate variability (HRV) is one of the widely used physiological measures in psychophysiological research. But with over 100 indices to choose from, how do we know which ones to use? In our latest paper, we take a data-driven approach to help answer this. doi.org/10.1111/psyp... 1/

- Can machine learning really beat classic stats at classifying chronic pain? Excited to share the first in our series of papers using hypothesis-driven analyses to identify reproducible, verifiable biomarkers of chronic pain. We validated findings across three cohorts (N=197). #PainResearch #ML #AI

- Reposted by Javeria HashmiWhen you successfully anticipate future events, what happens to your ability to encode the present? 🤔 Successful prediction increases the likelihood of successful encoding. We speculate about how switching between distinct encoding & prediction states can produce this effect. osf.io/preprints/ps...

- Reposted by Javeria HashmiThe problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.
