IMO the biggest failure of the #rstats #dataviz community is that folks talk about {plotly} or {leaflet} w/o mentioning {htmlwidgets} There are 100+ awesome packages for interactive charts, maps, network, brain imagery, time series & even genomic dataviz gallery.htmlwidgets.org

New paper alert! 🚨 Using a 24hr compositional approach, we found that not all sedentary behaviour is “bad” for cognition in older adults, and recreational PA may be most beneficial - but for cardiometabolic health, every minute of PA counts 🏃 academic.oup.com/biomedgerontol…

oh my god

Already people with no painting, movie making, coding or writing experience, can use LLM's to produce whatever they dream of. But what is more interesting, is people with no mathematical, physics, or scientific experience may begin producing theories, models, and new discoveries.

Getting to Mars plan report. Reusable rockets with massive payload (in progress); AI autonomous robots and vehicles to setup the base (in progress); Satellite constellation able to handle Mars Earth coms (Earth Stage almost complete); Boring machine able to tunnel base, and base

Mechazilla just caught the Santos building.

I don’t want to hear any more of that “we don’t build cathedrals anymore” crap. We build them alright, and they *fly*

Very cool package R City Views

hooray, the "Bayesian Models of Cognition" book is out, for all your Bayesian models of cognition needs :) (I contributed to 3 chapters in the book -- development, intuitive physics, theory of mind -- that can be read on the ol' website)

If you paid any tax in 2022-23, you paid more than all of these multinational gas corporations did on $36 BILLION income, exporting Australian gas from QLD. Really makes you think. #auspol

I'm keen for this. Is anyone else I know who sees this going to the conference or workshop?

Our review on the theoretical status of oscillations and field potentials is out! What are their causal effects, and what can electrophysiology signals reveal about how the brain works? w/ Dan Levenstein Matt Krause Bradley Voytek Richard Gao cell.com/trends/cogniti…

🚨 New publication 🚨 Excited to share our recent preprint “A mathematical perspective on neurophenomenology,” written in collaboration with Lancelot Da Costa, Lars Sandved Smith, Anil Seth, and Karl Friston 1/5 arxiv.org/abs/2409.20318

I'm thinking the true Turing test is to get a language model to program in Matlab.

Closed loop brain stimulation seems to be a big theme of the #BrainStimConf

This is what I expected. One does not simply 'vibe code' better than people with years of experience. A language models best guess is not a well thought out and well executed plan. Years of human experience is not calculable from written language.

The greatest intellectual and artistic theft for profit in history. All the language models have done it most likely.
