As every year, the LIPLab held its annual retreat! Members presented and discussed their upcoming projects, shared plans, and explored new ideas. It was also a great opportunity to connect, have some fun, and enjoy a lovely dinner together!

I'm in the Guardian today, writing about the question of overdiagnosis of mental illness. I argue we need to stop seeing this as a binary yes/no question - is overdiagnosis happening or is the increase real? - and acknowledge that multiple things can be happening at once tinyurl.com/yzsey97c
theguardian.com
Are we really overdiagnosing mental illness?
It’s tempting to dismiss the proliferation of labels as a fad, but there’s more to this phenomenon than a simple culture-war reading allows

Many are appropriately outraged by Altman’s comments here implying that raising a human child is akin to “training” an AI model. This is part of a broader pattern where AI industry leaders use language that collapses the boundary between human and machine. 🧵/

Tired but satisfied after a week of measuring brainwaves in museum visitors (see: umu.nl/agenda/empat...), a project led by Suzanne Dikker that I've been involved with since summer. It was great to explain (and especially show!) inter-brain research to so many enthusiastic families!

This RedNote post shocked me today. An anonymous user says they are going to upload 60 papers to arXiv soon and are looking for “citation partners” to boost citation counts together by citing each other. Something is seriously wrong in the system of evaluating researchers by citation counts.
