I am however not up for the Nobel prize.

Wow, what a coincidence! I also happen to be up for the Nobel price for my groundbreaking work on getting emails piled up in my mailbox.

When Karl Deisseroth visited us at the Brown University Department of Neuroscience over a decade ago, people were already speculating that he would end up getting the Nobel prize for his work. Now this has come to pass; Deisseroth, Hegemann, and Nagel jointly get the Nobel in Physiology or Medicine

I have been meaning to write a post about a preprint that I'm pretty excited about: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... In neuroscience we often assume that we can learn something general about “the brain” using different species. But is this true? Do monkeys even see the world the way we do?
On the left, an image of a rhesus macaque looking towards its left, and on the right, an AI-generated zoomed-out rendering of a human in the same pose. Both are looking.

If LLMs are increasingly used for data analysis, should we worry that they might encourage p-hacking? A recent preprint suggests that the answer may be yes, at least in relatively complex analytical pipelines. I share some personal experience here 👇 www.linkedin.com/posts/stefan...

Ég myndi lýsa náminu sem krefjandi en á sama tíma mjög fjölbreytt og gefandi sem veitir góða innsýn í mannlega hegðun. Lesið meira um nám í sálfræði við HÍ hér: hi.is/salfraedideild

Háskóli Íslands býður upp á fjölbreytt nám á grunn og framhaldsstigi. Lögð er áhersla á fræðilega nálgun og rannsóknatengt nám með góð tengsl við atvinnulíf og nýsköpun

Það sem mér finnst áhugaverðast við námið er hvað það er fjölbreytt og svona hvernig það tengir saman þessa fræðilegu þekkingu og hagnýtingu.En námið veitir líka mjög góðan undirbúning fyrir framhaldsnám, bæði innan fagsins og í öðrum greinum, og líka fyrir störf á ólíkum sviðum.

Folda Guðlaugsdóttir:Ég valdi sálfræði af því að mig langaði að skilja betur hegðun og hugsun fólks og byggja það á vísindalegum grunni. Mér finnst sérstaklega áhugavert hvernig hægt er að nota sálfræðilega þekkingu í raunverulegum aðstæðum, til dæmis til þess að styðja við fólk og bæta líðan þess.

Apparently the guy only chased them last time, and they wanted to find him so he could chase them again. So no bribes have exchanged hands yet, or so I'm told.
