- Reposted by Laurie Bayet🚨Thrilled to share I am able to hire someone (PhD preferred) with coding expertise to work on our HAPPE software for EEG! Knowledge of Matlab, Python, and EEG signal processing required. Enthusiasm for teaching/mentoring, collaboration, and developmental science preferred!
- This was such a fun section to write! The review provides an on-ramp to further integrating DL within the developmental field. Existing DNN findings & tools, while not without caveats, open new empirical developmental questions. I'm grateful for NSF's support to my lab as we tackle some of them 👶
- This paper was an awesome collaborative effort of a @fitngin.bsky.social working group. It provides a detailed review of how DNNs can be used to support dev neuro research @lauriebayet.bsky.social and I wrote the network modeling section about how DNNs can be used to test developmental theories 🧵
