How many neurons does it take to change a lightbulb?

I’ve been reading this excellent paper by David Barack and John Krakauer, on “ Two Views on the Cognitive Brain ”, and it made me wonder ab...

Older papers never cited???

Really good question about citation practices in #neuroscience and #psychology.

Established PIs have a responsibility to teach junior students to understand the history of the fields.

Looks who's here!
Let's discuss Freeman soon please 😅

I'll list on my CV that I was follower #1 on Masto!

This is an amazing resource for #neuroscience:
The Montreal AI and Neuroscience educational workshop 2022.

Many thanks for making this available immediately.

@cogneurophys

When teaching stats make sure to update your materials to discuss the T-method of error bars. This is separate from the t-test but is looking potentially as important! 😉

@WiringtheBrain

Reading parts of this paper again: "Emergent reliability in sensory cortical
coding and inter-area communication"

So many interesting things.
Patterns of functional connectivity during trial intervals ("rest") very different from trial-based. Take note neuroimagers obsessed with resting-state "networks".

@cogneurophys

What is the "𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻"?

Walter Freeman's wave packets??

In this paper, Mannino and Bressler review and extend the concept: "the wave packet is a spatially coherent pattern of high-frequency neuronal population activity, which, like a movie frame, carries
spatially coherent information that may be gleaned by analysis of the LFP [local field potential] waveform."

Wish it was possible to be relatively successful in neuroscience (chance to get grants, etc) if one just (mostly?) published in open journals like https://nbdt.scholasticahq.com/
Less "chasing success" would be so different! One can wish...
