If you teach young aspiring scientists, the new "Crash Course Scientific Thinking" on youtube is quite good. Up to episode 5 right now. Honestly, should be mandatory viewing in junior highs in the US, IMO.

Javascript code for a noncentral t cdf produced by Claude. It is simply a call to the normal CDF, which is not correct (though will be a decent approximation with large N).

I've been testing Claude to see how well it can "vibe out" a stat. power app that I've already coded completely myself - so I know what I want. It mostly gets things right with animations (those are easily verifiable) but looking into the backend stats code is nightmare inducing (see pic).

Today I am excited to introduce respyra - an open-source Python toolbox for respiratory tracking experiments in interoception research!

Now on PyPI (pip install respyra) with a preprint on PsyArXiv:

Hopefully someday one of these worksjops at a time that’s not so rough on us west coast Americans :-)

For 15(!) years I’ve been teaching introductory #MRI to grad students, and struggled to find a textbook for a wide variety of backgrounds. I'm happy to share an online textbook I created, fully open source (including code for generating figures and plots shown):

A new MRI protocol can scan the human brain and its venous network in under 7 minutes at 0.35 mm iso. resolution, marking it as a potential tool for diagnosing cerebrovascular diseases and monitoring neurodegeneration.
