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?.

These results highlight the importance of replication/reproduction and the need for further work towards pipeline harmonization. Group-level maps for all workflows shared on Neurovault, scripts shared on Github/OSF. See the manuscript for full details and full results! 5/5.

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

In this new work, we find that the analysis step manipulation that matters most varies by dataset. E.g. for the BART task, the packages’ different 1st-level signal models induced sizable variability between the final group-level t-stat maps. 3/5

Follows on our previous research (Bowring et al., 2019, HBM), where we discovered sizable inter-software differences when reproducing the same 3 studies’ results in AFNI, FSL + SPM (Dice commonly < 0.5, Correlations between unthresholded t-stat maps commonly < 0.6). 2/5

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!.

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.
