These two projects have been brewing for a long time, and we’re thrilled to finally share them.
Huge thanks to collaborators/friends for their work and patience: Clayton Hickey, Giorgio Coricelli, @eliobalestrieri.bsky.social and Damiano Grignolio.

What a great SciComm initiative by the Italian science community in Germany! 👏

Bringing kids closer to science in their native language 🥹🇮🇹 love that!

Roberta Colapietro @robertacolapie.bsky.social · Jun 22

We did it! The very first Native Scientist workshop for Italian kids in Cologne was a success 🇮🇹 41 Italian-speaking children explored the wonders of science through hands-on experiments in their heritage language 🧑‍🔬

Aaaand the paper is out on Imaging Neuroscience! 🤩

Did anyone use correlations for a temporal generalisation analysis? I have a hard time finding something, but it seems straight forward (and symmetric) for my problem at hand.

I want to do encoding, not decoding analyses.

Pointers greatly appreciated !

This new flow of people to BS is heartwarming...
Welcome everybody! Let's show that an alternative to X is possible!

An enlightening read!

Matt Perich @mattperich.bsky.social · Oct 2

Who needs more neural manifolds? In my opinion: everyone!

This was a fun article to write, thanks to @thetransmitter.bsky.social and @emilytransmitter.bsky.social for making it happen!

The Transmitter @thetransmitter.bsky.social · Oct 2

@mattperich.bsky.social clarifies some misconceptions about neural manifolds and argues that they present a conceptually appropriate level at which systems neuroscientists can study the brain.

The third #preprint in 3 months, what a sequence!
In this work first-authored by @janafehring.bsky.social, we probe new features characterizing cortical hierarchy and its changes through the #lifespan. Check it out! :D

Jana Fehring @janafehring.bsky.social · Jul 18

Excited to share this preprint in which we find individual and robust neurophysiological markers of cortical
hierarchy and highlight the dynamic nature of the brain's organization throughout life :)

At the WikiJournal of Science, the first article that I edited has now been published! en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJou... Two peer reviewers gave a bunch of expert input, resulting in extensive revisions and us now publishing the article. We are a Scopus-indexed scholarly journal and a COPE member.

Excited to share the first preprint of my postdoc!
We explored a novel features space to describe M-EEG timeseries. These features are highly informative in differentiating brain states, even more than canonical features like power in predefined frequency bands! :D

Sorry guys, I have already given Joe Rogan the exclusive...

An email is asking me to have a podcast on my paper accepted on eNeuro. I would give it a try, but only with Morgan Freeman's voice.
