Cross-Cultural Sex/Gender Differences in Produced Word Content Before the Age of 3 Years. My new paper with @fabio_trecca is out in PsychSci. A thread. 1/13 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…

@MortenDDHansen Der er også mange i kulturindustrien som forsøger sig med samme logik. Kultur skulle efter sigende være godt for mange ting. Til dem siger jeg altid: Kultur er målet, ikke midlet!

Har de sidste tre aftener optrådt sammen med det fremragende Ensemble MidtVest i Struer, Holstebro og Herning. Og sagt: "Mine damer og herrer. Der er biologer, der vil insistere på at holde et regneark op som skjold foran sig og sige "blå anemone, blå oliebille og blåhatjordbi er nødvendige og penge værd! Men det passer ikke. Naturen er faktisk samme domæne som kultur - I er til koncert, fordi det er smukt og meningsfuldt. Og det er derfor, vi passer på rød glente, lakrød møgbille og rød arve". #dkpol #dknatur #biodiversitet

@deevybee @eLife @WellcomeOpenRes @Clarivate An outlet open only to people funded by Wellcome, can hardly be said to be open in any meaningful way.

A quick response to the story that @eLife won't be listed in Web of Science any more. My experiences with Wellcome Open Research deevybee.blogspot.com/2024/10/i-dont… @WellcomeOpenRes @Clarivate #peerreview

Academic ironies

1/10 Very excited to announce that my thesis project is now a preprint! We present the first detailed study of mental imagery in human ventral temporal cortex, bringing together the interests of @doristsao and @UeliRutishauser. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@lnalborczyk @LPL_lab_Aix Congratulations. Well-deserved. Looking forward to following you and your team's work.

Science faces an explainability crisis: ML models can predict many natural phenomena but can't explain them We tackle this issue in language neuroscience by using LLMs to generate *and validate* explanations with targeted follow-up experiments arxiv.org/abs/2410.00812 1/2

@LineEKruse does her thing!

Plz RT My excellent colleague @mikkelwallentin and I are recruiting 2 PhD students for a project on the neural correlates of spatial communication and mental body map in typical and atypical ageing. phd.arts.au.dk/applicants/ope… Start date: Feb 1 ‘25 Appl deadline: Oct 1 ‘24

PhDs at @AarhusUni_int on spatial communication, ageing and the brain. Pass the word: phd.arts.au.dk/applicants/ope…

V happy that this study is now published in @eLife with nice reviews and a wonderful editorial assessment. Quantifying multimodal context (of spoken language) in naturalistic stimuli is not an easy task, but we hope this can provide some inspiration. 🧵#tab-content" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…

Folks in 🇩🇰 & beyond! On Oct 1st, we are hosting (@interact_minds) a workshop exploring research at the intersection of NLP x social sciences, cognition, & humanities, with 3 awesome keynotes by @dirk_hovy, @maria_antoniak & @sandropezzelle. Register here: interactingminds.au.dk/events/single-…

@glupyan Interesting that people not doing a PhD develop a use of psychiatric medication relative to the onset of the PhD they are not doing.

Did no one look at Figure 1?

🧠 Exciting news for #neuroscience! Launching deepmriprep: Voxel-based Morphometry (VBM) preprocessing via neural networks in ~10 seconds per #brain image 🚀 🔗 Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2408.10656 🔗 GitHub: github.com/wwu-mmll/deepm… Install via "pip install deepmriprep"

Working with @ahoejlund is wonderful. If you want to do a PhD and can live with me, then read this:
