I have been developing a free mobile number puzzle game, and excitingly its now in Early Access on Google Play. If you own an Android, like number games (sudoku, nerdle etc.), and would like to test the game, please get in contact. See the video here for more details and a demo!

The PROV ontology can be used to model provenance information for data generated from multiple entities and processes. But what if my workflow contains a feedback loop? I.e recursively generating and updating data in light of new information. Is there a way to model this?

Problem to solve:
r(a,b)=x; r(b,c)=x; r(a,c)=0, where r is correlation. How large can x be??

But we also identify analysis step manipulations that cause minimal differences in the final results. E.g., group-level results were largely unaffected by changes in the software used to model the low-frequency fMRI drifts. 4/5

These results highlight the importance of replication/reproduction and the need for further work towards pipeline harmonization.

Today was my last day in academia. I'm very excited to be joining @smithinst as a mathematical consultant on 22nd November. As an RA, PhD student and postdoc I had so many good times I will remember, thank you to all friends and collaborators that have helped me along the way!

My section on Functional Imaging Methods at the NIH is looking for a post doc to do research advancing fMRI - anything including acquisition, processing, physiology, and applications! Please contact me if you are interested! Start date is very flexible. fim.nimh.nih.gov/positions-a…

Really thoughtful and elegant new paper about resting-state models for hypothesis testing, which we were lucky enough to have @R_Liegeois present to our group yesterday

New paper! Built with OHBM Open Science community @OhbmOpen - this one is very close to my heart 💞
We review existing barriers and focus on practical steps to build *more inclusive online conferences*. #OnlineConferences #Inclusivity

A simple, *hypothetical* example of the Base Rate Fallacy:
Suppose w/o a vaccine, 9/10 get hospitalized
Suppose w/ a vaccine 1/10 get hospitalized
(Note: a very good vaccine!)
Suppose 90/100 get the vaccine
What share of the hospitalized are vaccinated?
