Yes, welcome to the ugly underbelly of science.

FMGEM (buff.ly/17vk3Mh) - playlists and uninterrupted youtube. Pretty convincing.

@ChaseSupport Your webpage is slower than the internet was in 1990. Whats up?

@tandfbooks I posted link to your article. buff.ly/URADkw All of the sudden I also lost access. Surprised ppl dislike publishers?

@SebastianSeung @GaryMarcus @NewYorker But Sebastian, wouldn't "I am my Connectome", equally make simplifying assumptions?

@SciTriGrrl Pain receptors are complicated. I think one should report location/size of electrodes and voltage/current. Hard to normalize.

@SciTriGrrl bigger electrodes should reduce this a lot

@SciTriGrrl wet skin, larger electrodes maybe? 1mohm is for about 1 sq mm, perfectly dry skin. If you got a square cm the voltage is tiny.

@SciTriGrrl 700V/1MOhm=700V/1000KOhm=.7mA, no? Touching 110V is ok with dry hands but unpleasant. Touching 700 V - I wont volunteer.

@SciTriGrrl well... dry skin has 1MOhm, so this corresponds to 700 volts on dry skin. I would say ouch? For how long?

@SciTriGrrl @neuromusic I loved my diploma/PhD time. Eye-opening, time for creative thought. Fun. Freedom. And liquid nitrogen!

My lab just joined the twitterverse as @KordingLab

Upon extensive review: Apparently no statistical flaws in h-index paper. Would be nice to be able to share raw data though.

@neuromusic @rxnm_ early h>=5 is tough. These guys should generally be in neurotree. Our regression aimed at tt ppl for top departments.

@neuromusic Got the full data set. Supervisor m-index was part of regressor but largely irrelevant. Explaining away effect I guess.
