NEW: Starting May 5, NSF will implement an across-the-board 15% indirect cost rate (mirroring policies at DOE, NIH) Also, NSF staff expect 341 additional terminations today, bringing the total number of terminations to ~1,380.
Effective May 5, 2025, NSF will apply a standard indirect cost rate not to exceed 15% to all
grants and cooperative agreements awarded to IHEs for which indirect costs are allowable.1 The
awardee is authorized to determine the appropriate rate up to this limit.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Social disadvantage during pregnancy is associated with newborn brain function
Social disadvantage (e.g., reduced household income, poorer neighborhoods) can be a major risk factor for developing children and is associated with altered trajectories of brain development. Yet, giv...

Our paper finally appeared on modelling the effect of age on the BOLD fMRI response, one implication of which is that many age effects previously reported may be vascular rather than neural… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Evaluating Models of the Ageing BOLD Response
Linear and nonlinear methods for estimating the BOLD response in the sensorimotor task from a large dataset show important effects of adult age on response features and biophysical parameters, some o....

Many researchers in cognitive neuroscience and deep learning seem to assume that inference in the brain is hierarchical.  Our new Nature Reviews Neuroscience paper questions this assumption and proposes the shallow brain hypothesis. #neuroskyence #brain www.nature.com/articles/s41...
