Scientists have obtained the first image of a black hole, using Event Horizon Telescope observations of the center of the galaxy M87. The image shows a bright ring formed as light bends in the intense gravity around a black hole that is 6.5 billion times more massive than the Sun

on methods in complex systems and information theory and their application.
Granger causality applied to neuroscience (especially in fMRI) is often bashed by editors and reviewers. Sometimes for good reasons, other times for less good reasons.
A short thread. My questionable opinions of course
👇
Scientist on twitter: whoa this new preprint is so insightful, everyone should read it!
*preprint is submitted to journal I edit for *
Me to scientist: would please review it?
Scientist: no
Testers needed!
Our toolbox to retrieve and deconvolve a proxy of the HRF from resting state fMRI data is now in Python, thanks to the

We have a new paper, (very) long in the making and changing several times since its conception, but overall fun and instructive to work on!
It's called
"An information-theoretic approach to hypergraph psychometrics"
Below I tell you more about it
New preprint: how important is the head model for MEG (and EEG) based functional connectivity fingerprinting?
We think quite important.

Periodic reminder that the universe does its things, and we try to model some behavior with math/physics, but this doesn't mean that the universe should be assigned the mathematical properties of the models

Are you into information theory?
Are you into psychometrics?
Unlike a XOR gate you can be both (even better!). But as a XOR gate this is about higher order interactions (in psychometrics).

-calls correlation FC
-sells FC as biological property
-is surprised that FC is equivalent to a correlation
-uses this discovery as validation of FC as statistical object

Thanks so much, and good luck!
Our new article type, Brief Reports, is designed for single-experiment results with potentially transformative findings. Brief Reports are short, 2,000-word articles that receive rapid review, so your work can be published in as little as 3 months.
New paper out!
I had a lot of fun and learnt a lot collaborating with an amazing team of colleagues lead by Giulio during my sabbatical at

Is 2024.
How are people applying "efficiency", "shortest path", and "modularity" (this latter deserves a different discussion) to "networks" obtained from thresholded full adjacency matrices of statistical dependencies motivating their choices and interpreting their results?

Dear

@LeuvenU
, between February 25 and 28 you started issuing negative travel advice to North Italy. On Feb 25th the cases in all Italy were 322. Now in Belgium, a much denser country, we have 267 cases. But practically business as usual. Do you realize the nonsense?
Our latest is out! Quantifying errors in directed dynamical influences due to forward conduction even with perfect source reconstruction

Tnx for all who made this happen!!💥
1. that is not a brain, is a scalp
2. anything "stimulates" the brain, one way or the other
3. statistical thresholding is arbitrary
4. is it good to have a red patch of activity instead of an orange one?
