.@raffi_hotter and I ran a 2-week hackathon investigating whether you could decode images from a portable brain scanner We got initial results that suggest you can reconstruct images like these from brain activity recorded with time-domain NIRS, and share our detector prototype We did it in an incredible team of 16 people: @a__bra @stephen_fay @humanscotti @fionaleng_ @chocolateycrepe @yush_g @michelle__wang @jonxuxu @thomas_rribeiro, @bryanhpchiang, Michel Adamic, Wellington Avelino, Grace Jiang, and Stephen Polcyn

@TiffanyYongTQ @caridoesphysics in two (2) days

@caridoesphysics @a__bra when are you inviting me to pet cute dog

if anyone tries to make you feel dumb because they go to MIT just know the entire center for theoretical physics was brought to a halt today because someone brought in a cute dog

yea going viral on twitter is cool but have you ever set off a curius reading train

a cool community of cool people!

@daocheny where's my photo credz 😤

(this photo is kinda old but) new profile for my only twitter acc!! it's official (& the only one) since it has my face on it now

What if your new tab page showed what your friends are reading? made this with @a__bra ✨ try it out on curius.app!

updated with new and improved nomenclature ~ check out the reasoning in our new preprint arxiv.org/abs/2105.03195

@Methemedantics @FullOfSymmetry i almost forgot about this website - done!!

want to see what random trees look like? check out this website @FullOfSymmetry and I made over the summer, where we animate the force-directed graph of galton-watson trees! abrandenberger.github.io/random-trees/

whispering a silent apology to every composer who has ever lived each time I sit at the piano and prepare to sight-read a piece

Want to stare at a soothing animation that won't be so soothing for your computer? Come try out the #mchacks project @a__bra, @gmoipar and I made here abrandenberger.github.io/mchacks-2021/

@ArtirKel @mimeticgenz @bonniesjli wow, small world! hi Bonnie :)

@mimeticgenz @a__bra @bonniesjli says hi, I'm surrounded by mcgillians now

tbh finishing my last final didn't hit me as hard as github telling me i'm going to be locked out of all my private repos + lose access to github pages in 11 days ... just bc i'm not a student anymore doesn't mean i'm not broke

@mimeticgenz @erinfoox if I have a cat when I do my PhD my life will be complete

@erinfoox @a__bra the twitter posts i expect from u when u do ur phd :)))

The cutest, most annoying coworker. And yes, I blurred out my code because it’s a wip and y’all are judgy.

@Methemedantics Ted Chiang’s two short story collections have some incredibly imaginative stuff! also, the three body problem trilogy

Useless hackathon project? hell yeah
