Congratulations to everyone who got their @neuripsconf.bsky.social papers accepted 🎉🎉🎉

At #EurIPS we are looking forward to welcoming presentations of all accepted NeurIPS papers, including a new “Salon des Refusés” track for papers which were rejected due to space constraints!

Exactly! EurIPS just announced that they will accept submission of those rejected papers.

We might be able to save this when we agree that we are dealing with a well-behaved, compact domain. I'd be willing to agree to that!

So, fewer time points and longer duration. They also show that this increases power and, with that, decreases the amount of people you need to scan.

Interesting paper by Vidal-Piñeiro et al. doi.org/10.1162/imag....

They show that "Increasing the follow-up time was associated with a substantial increase in longitudinal reliability, while the impact of increasing the number of observations was comparatively minor."

Reliability of structural brain change in cognitively healthy adult samples

Abstract. In neuroimaging research, tracking individuals over time is key to understanding the interplay between brain changes and genetic, environmental, or cognitive factors across the lifespan. Yet...

As a junior researcher at a university that covers OA APCs in most conventional and top-tier journals, I have little incentive to not publish there. Morally, I would, of course, like to publish with non-profit orgs etc., but unfortunately, this is more expensive for me than publishing in Nature.

Updated my Python project setup guide - originally created for my students but might be useful for other researchers and data scientists. Covers pyenv, poetry, git, and project structure best practices. Open to suggestions for improvements.

New article out at Human Brain Mapping showing that brain age ≠ brain ageing (estimating brain age on all available features).

This is not the only article showcasing this. Brain age is still useful, but be careful about the longitudinal claims.

It happened to me earlier last year. We had to double-check with the editor that we understood correctly.
