Heute gibt es nur noch eine Art von Menschen, mit sehr großer genetischer Homogenität. Damals war das anders. Und trotzdem vermischten sich damals die unterschiedlichen Hominiden offensichtlich miteinander - und das zu ihrem großen Vorteil. Das lässt heuten Rassismus noch einmal dümmer erscheinen.

Eine (!) Antwort auf hohe Spritpreise wäre übrigens: 9-Euro-Ticket. Wo kein ÖPNV ist, kann man ihn nicht nutzen, aber vielerorts fährt man aus Gewohnheit Auto. Die Kombination "Teurer Sprit + preiswerter Zug/Bus" könnte Gewohnheiten ändern.

The feminist movement was never a threat to men. Secure men have always understood that. They stood beside women, fought for equality, and some proudly called themselves feminists too. If women having equal power feels like oppression to you, feminism isn’t the problem.

Very excited for the next few days at #BIOMAG2026! I will present our labs most recent endeavors in inferring laminar activity on a methodology level, and also in Parkinson‘s Disease Patients. If this sounds interesting to you, you can find me at poster 203 and Symposium 15! Looking forward to it!

Verrückter Fakt des Tages: #vfdt Ratten sind von Natur aus nett zueinander. Man konfrontierte Ratten mit 2 Käfigen - in einem eine andere Ratte, im anderen Schokolade. Statt alleine den Schoko-Käfig zu öffnen, befreien die Ratten typischerweise erst die andere Ratte und teilen danach die Schokolade.

Out now as a preprint! We investigated the effect of outcome-uncertainty on learning and endogenous pain modulation in a probabilistic gambling task. Results show that pain inhibition from winning pain relief increases as a function of certainty in what action lead to the relief of pain.

Psst! Pumpkins are a treat for birds but can be harmful to hedgehogs. 🦔❌ Keep them high up out of reach and compost any leftovers to protect our garden wildlife.

The title reads 'Pumpkin Dos & Don’ts'. A light-hearted illustrated poster split into two columns with a "Do" section on the left and a "Don't" section on the right. In the "Do" section: three green checkmarks highlight turning pumpkins into bird feeders, keeping them high to avoid foraging Hedgehogs, and composting leftovers to avoid harming wildlife. The "Don't" section features three red crosses, advising against leaving pumpkins on the ground (Hedgehogs might eat them), letting pumpkins rot (it harms wildlife), and wasting pumpkins …encouraging instead to make tasty recipes or bird treats. A cartoon Hedgehog and pumpkin smile from the bottom of the poster, adding a fun and informative feel.

Wenn Söder von "linker Kampagne" spricht, versucht er das eigene Klientel zur Ordnung zu rufen um sich bedingungslos hinter den rassistischen Äußerungen zu stellen, so hat der Sozialflügel der Union auch schon kurz aufgemuckt. Wenn Antirassmus links ist, wissen wir ja jetzt alle wo sie stehen.

🚨🚨🚨PREPRINT ALERT🚨🚨🚨 Neural dynamics across cortical layers are key to brain computations - but non-invasively, we’ve been limited to rough "deep vs. superficial" distinctions. What if we told you that it is possible to achieve full (TRUE!) laminar (I, II, III, IV, V, VI) precision with MEG!

Overview of the simulation strategy and analysis. a) Pial and white matter boundaries
surfaces are extracted from anatomical MRI volumes. b) Intermediate equidistant surfaces are
generated between the pial and white matter surfaces (labeled as superficial (S) and deep (D)
respectively). c) Surfaces are downsampled together, maintaining vertex correspondence across
layers. Dipole orientations are constrained using vectors linking corresponding vertices (link vectors).
d) The thickness of cortical laminae varies across the cortical depth (70–72), which is evenly sampled
by the equidistant source surface layers. e) Each colored line represents the model evidence (relative
to the worst model, ΔF) over source layer models, for a signal simulated at a particular layer (the
simulated layer is indicated by the line color). The source layer model with the maximal ΔF is
indicated by “˄”. f) Result matrix summarizing ΔF across simulated source locations, with peak
relative model evidence marked with “˄”. g) Error is calculated from the result matrix as the absolute
distance in mm or layers from the simulated source (*) to the peak ΔF (˄). h) Bias is calculated as the
relative position of a peak ΔF(˄) to a simulated source (*) in layers or mm.
