Our new paper is out now in Journal of Neuroscience!

This is a three part paper: the theory, the modeling and the data.

Some 15 years ago my colleague Parry Clarke said to me, "Dude stop complaining and write your own stats book!" So I did. It definitely changed my life, and I'm glad it has had a positive impact on others.
One of my aims at the time was to make sure we can show this relationship in simulated data, inspired by
@rmcelreath.bsky.social's approach to statistics. Statistical Rethinking is a life-changing book, this paper wouldn't be the way it is now without it. Very grateful to McElreath!

How can we reform science? I have some ideas. But I am not sure you’ll like them, because they don’t promise much. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07...
Which Kind of Science Reform
What hope is there for science reform, if we can't agree on what to reform? Right now, principles are more important than practices.

Truly fascinating
We find highly robust correspondence between model solutions vs geometric modes and model parcs vs geometric parcs, demonstrating that the reaction-diffusion process may represent a conserved developmental mechanism for establishing the regional organization of the brain. (12/n)

Almost finished writing a software package for intrinsic timescales. Will post it here when it is ready for usage.

What is the current situation about elife? I've sent a manuscript there but does anyone know whether or not publishing there affects funding / job search etc. decisions later on?

Question for the #neuroskyence community:

What are my chances on making a good source reconstruction with 60 electrodes, no individual mri and no fiducial locations? I came to the conclusion that it was a stillborn endeavour, does anyone have any success with this?
