Is it time to put rest to rest? A great article by @esfinn.bsky.social , which cleverly lays out some unfound assumptions in the field of and an integrated way forward: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

It should be required reading for anyone using #resting-state or task-based #fMRI!

Having severe FOMO for missing #OHBM2025, but please reach out if you are interested in postdoc opportunities in our lab! Enjoy the science and sunshine!!

Despite everything going on, I may have funds to hire a postdoc this year 😬🤞🧑‍🔬 Open to a wide variety of possible projects in social and cognitive neuroscience. Get in touch if you are interested! Reposts appreciated.

Not long after I started my lab, a prominent scientist told me it was “impossible” to be a successful PI and a mother

Don’t ever let the naysayers tell you it can’t be done - of course it can!

Alternative title: "LLMs don't have ears (or eyes)"

What do humans and machines miss out on when processing language as purely written text, without all the embodied audiovisual richness that scaffolds language in daily human contexts?

Very proud of this elegant work from @tommybotch.bsky.social

Tommy Botch @tommybotch.bsky.social · May 5

New preprint! Thrilled to share my latest work with @esfinn.bsky.social -- "Sensory context as a universal principle of language in humans and LLMs"

Second, Clara Sava-Segal @csavasegal.bsky.social looks at how we remember different subjective interpretations for the same information based on whether they are self- or other-generated at poster D110

Two posters from our lab at #CNS2025 this morning! First, Kay Liang @kay-qiliang.bsky.social shows differences in how we perceive social interactions when we’re actually involved in them (first person) versus passively watching them (third person) at poster D99

*So* honored to be a co-recipient of the CNS Young Investigator Award (along with André Bastos)! This was a fun interview. Really looking forward to the conference!

Cognitive Neuroscience Society @cogneuronews.bsky.social · Feb 18

"...how can the same sensory information evoke such wildly different interpretations across people, or even within the same person across time?"
Learn how @esfinn.bsky.social, a #CNS2025 Young Investigator Award co-recipient, is working to answer that in a new Q&A:

Viewing Different Views of the World Through a Scientific Lens

Researchers like Emily Finn are working to understand differing views of the world through behavioral, neuroimaging, and computational tools.

Suppose you generated a sequence of 100 random numbers. Then one year later, you did it again. Do you think we could predict one sequence from the other? It turns out, we can!

For the Dartmouth PBS graduate student visiting day this year, we introduced a new format based on the "Hot Ones" talk show: faculty and current graduate students ate nuggets with a series of increasing spicy hot sauces as they answered questions from prospective grad students! 🌶️🔥🥵

As co-director of AI at the Ann S. Bowers Women’s Brain Health Initiative, I want women in data science to flourish. We thus launch the #WiDSDatathon 2025 Global challenge - open to all levels - now on Kaggle! Entrants will predict ADHD via fMRI, with sex differences in mind. youtu.be/ESbiTbnlbdM
