The RETINA and Parkinson's? Great new paper. Electrophysiological delays, decreased amplitude electroretinography; retinal nerve fibre layer and macular thinning, optical coherence measured structural changes. Retinal dopaminergic neurons (amacrine cells). jnnp.bmj.com/content/early/2…

All NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports editors have resigned over the high publication fee, and are starting a new non-profit journal imaging-neuroscience.org This comes with great regret, and a huge amount of thought and discussion- please read announcement to get more details.

My awesome PhD student @AlberteSeeberg is running a really cool online study on #groove perception in #cochlearimplant users - and she needs more CI-users. It only takes approx. 15 min and it mainly requires listening to a bunch of cool rhythms: shaddam.cogsciexperiment.au.… Plz RT

So happy to share our new paper in @NatureHumBehav! Why do we change how we speak when interacting with infants?. Does IDS in British English sound similar to IDS in Korean or Danish? Do the acoustics of IDS change as the child develops more sophisticated language knowledge?
This meta-analysis by Cox et al. examines different features of infant-directed speech (IDS) across languages and infant ages. Results suggest cross-linguistic tendencies and that caregivers adjust the properties of IDS to suit infants’ changing needs. buff.ly/3rqHvrz

Adults across the globe seem to adjust their speech to suit the changing needs of infants (with some interesting cross-linguistic variation). Study led by @ChrisMMCox, with @chbergma @aroepstorff and others. Check the paper here the thread: xitter.cf/ChrisMMCox/status/1497…

Yet another fascinating thread+talk by the awesome @fusaroli. This time on vocal markers of neuropsychiatric disorders (and the limits of ML approaches to tackling this). Amazing work! Could responses to the 1 min verbal fluency task potentially be used in this context?
Today I have given a talk at the PRAAT group (@IrisSommer4 @SBrederoo) on (some of) the limits of machine learning approaches to vocal markers of neuropsychiatric conditions (identifying them using voice data only). A thread (and video at the end): 1/

Thx heaps for sharing this awesome & enlightening thread+talk on using informed priors based on prev work @fusaroli! Particularly enjoyed the point about comparing different informed/skeptical priors as “a robustness analysis of our findings” 🙌
Should we use findings from previous studies and meta-analyses to shape our statistical inferences (aka informed priors)? What are the advantages and issues? Strap on for a loooong thread (link to a video of the talk at the end) 1/

Seed Funding is a great chance to kick off a new project, get some pilot data, or work with some new collaborators (or all of these). A month to write a brief proposal👍 @AIAS_dk @Aarhus_BSS @CFIN_AU @CIBP_AU @cfa_res_pol Please help us spread the word👌

Had an amazing peer review experience. In paper X we got reviewers with an axe to grind against methods and in particular the use of informed priors. So when writing paper Y I chickened out 1/

Hey @AcademicEEG, just a friendly reminder that the mean peak is the appropriate measure of ERP amplitude - max peak and base-to-peak are biased. I'll explain our evidence for mean > max peak with the following figure in a mini🧵. Thought? Article: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
