UK ECONOMY over the last 4 years ▪️Gas up 94.1% ▪️Electric up 78% ▪️Fuel up 49.3% ▪️Hotels up 37.8% ▪️Rent up 25% ▪️Food up 25%  Average earnings down 2.8% Now can you see why people are leaving the UK? But where do you go?

(1) visual habituation in hearing and deaf infants and (2) understanding screen based and naturalistic resting state processing in toddlers and preschoolers, both using EEG, come check out my posters. Today, Tuesday 29th (T-PT-161) and Wednesday (W-PW-162) respectively!

if you're attending the British Neuroscience Association (#BNA) Festival in Liverpool (#bna2025) this week and want to learn more about the exciting stories exploring...

Let's introduce a scoring system for councils, and tie senior bureaucrat salaries directly to it. On clean streets, bins, pothole repair, planning efficiency, hold times, financial discipline and more. Failure from those ultimately responsible should be punished financially.

🚨 NET ZERO - South Cambridgeshire district council plans to bulldoze a precious orchard of 100 year old fruit trees to build a £230 million ‘green’ electric busway… are at government approval stage. They will chop down 520 apple, pear & plum trees, including six Bramleys dating back to the 1920s. The virtue of lunatics 🤡

We live in a beautiful world filled with beautiful people🧵 1. The one

Remember back in 2022, when we didn't need to worry about a 2nd Trump Presidency, but were concerned about how many participants it would take to map links between personality & brain activity? (cf work by @smarek0502 & @ndosenbach) We have good news 👇 nature.com/articles/s4200…

@HenryYin19 @dafnisbatalle you'll appreciate this

The vocabulary of systems neuroscience may appear daunting to many. Here's a short dictionary of common terms. BTW if you use them in your papers and grants you will have greater success

@CDelawalla I'll need to look into the data more. But casual assumptions based on random dial up responses generalised to populations definitely raises red flags for me 😬 no doubt there's conv. validity from external data in the literature w other methods. Another rabbit hole to explore 😅

@CDelawalla Thanks. So despite the superf. sample size it's entirely reliant on random dial up responders. (1) massive self selecting bias in type to answer &/ (2) continue the call, likely amplified by probable cultural, age, sex + effects. In the UK, calls like those are rarely welcome...

I am so tired of this narrative about men and their loneliness…so I went and looked at the original data. THERE IS NOT A SIGNIFICANT DIFF BTW MEN AND WOMEN. Men are NOT more lonely. (Here’s a nice graph)

@CDelawalla Methodological flaws aside (massive though they are), I think a null difference finding between sexes and decreasing loneliness rate across ages is interesting. However, this doesn't prove no difference in either case, it may well be different needs for each sex / changing w age

This chart is a scandal. Teachers, doctors and others earning fairly ordinary salaries can face marginal tax rates of more than 60%, and sometimes approaching 80%. Rachel Reeves should reform income tax. Thread:

@NTFabiano This notwithstanding, I agree w the other comments; interesting findings, esp (RCT sample acc), quite well matched groups and interesting effect sizes. Curious what preferences ppl in each group had before chocolate admin (gustatory receptor density mediating brain effects?)

@NTFabiano For the 1st tweet figure, why has the corpus callosum been labelled for emotion-regulating networks? Seems a bit of an odd descriptor even if hinting at a (massive) structural connectivity backbone. Would make more sense if pointing to the cingulate [grey matter] above! 🤔

Dark chocolate improves mood via the gut-brain axis. 🧵1/10

@JRamduny You'd be surprised, when I was doing a systematic review on a large EEG proxy measure, quite often someone had left a lab and nobody knew where the data was 🥲

Data lost?! 🧐

@CDelawalla Well that just hurts... I've seen some weird scale setups but wow 😅

[4] Recent evidence shows that the 1/f signal, including that of the aperiodic exponent doesn't always follow the mechanism of action of known pharmacological agents, so we must consider the co-modulation or other physiological sources when interpreting potential trends.

[3] More infant & toddler AE studies are needed to plug the gap in characterising early AE maturation; toddler studies are few to none, and infant studies are needed across the breadth of the first year to really tease out whether the first postnatal E:I is excitatory/inhibitory.
