A fascinating update about how deep and fast MEG noninvasive imaging can be: differentiation b/w thalamus subnuclei, slow vs fast sleep spindles, and the talent and skills of Emily Coffey & her team. Grateful for being aboard this collaborative work. https://t.co/xdVqIXYhik

🕊️ Leicestershire CCC is saddened to hear of the passing of Dickie Bird. He represented the Foxes in the early 1960s, scoring over 1,000 runs in his debut season at Grace Road. A true cricketing icon whose contribution to the game will never be forgotten. #Foxes🦊

It is with great sadness that we share the news of Dickie Bird's passing. The Yorkshireman was a wonderful player and enjoyed a famed career as one of the game's most beloved umpires. He died peacefully at his home, aged 92. Rest in peace, Dickie. 🤍

✍️ Kernel just published a study in NPJ Dementia (@NaturePortfolio) demonstrating the ability to distinguish MCI patients from healthy age-matched controls. Using 15 minutes of brain scans, behavioral data, and a short survey, we were able to classify MCI with an AUC=0.92!
