Hey #neuroscience folks, for some reason my university thought it was a wise idea to be put me in charge as director of our neuroscience institute for a little while. Those of you working in the trenches at all levels (e.g. students, RAs, postdocs, faculty) I'd like to hear from you.

What are specific things that a department/institute can do to either inject more joy in the work or make the process of research easier?

A very interesting paper arguing that thinking is independent of language! Important implications for philosophy, but also if language is merely a communication tool and not the foundation of intelligence, what does this mean for the likes of chatGPT and friends?

Some people can visualize things perfectly in their mind’s eye, while others can’t.

Here’s how your brain visualizes scenarios that you’re not actually looking at with your eyes, and why it can be so helpful to improve this skill:

Anyone can learn #echolocation in just 10 weeks — And it remodels your brain scientificamerican.com/article… Now imagine what encoding a truly visual live camera view into sound may do to your brain, letting you hear zebra crossings and all things visual... #neuroscience

"Human echolocation repurposes parts of the brain's visual cortex for sound, even in sighted people."


@mike I was annoyed at first but then realised that web of science is in charge of giving an #ImpactFactor to journals, and so I guess it actually makes sense since the #eLife model goes against the principle of impact factor... Right?
