In a study, now out in Attention Perception & Psychophysics (by @Psychonomic_Soc), @ananyapassi and I have some cool insights about how parts combine in sound-shape associations (in the famous Bouba-Kiki effect). Read on to find out more! 1/12

Causal reasoning lies at the core of human intelligence but few studies have tested its neural basis. In a new study, we find that despite its importance, causal reasoning is implemented not in a single unified brain system, but rather in separate domain-specific regions.
Amazing
Brilliantly made video explaining the art of chitra-kavya, the art of solving fascinating optimization problems using letters!
Super happy to see my open-source TTS, Vāgdhenu (prathosh.in/vagdhenu/), being used in such magnificent ways. Thanks for creating this, @udbhava.
The science is clear!
Keep children away from phones.
Use a parental control app like google family link and regulate your child's phone time.
Be a role model and keep your phone aside at home and spend time with your kids 🙂

Leading AI models appeared to predict brain activity equally well…
…until we asked them to synthesize images that precisely control neural firing, like these 👇
Across 25 neural sites, closed-loop experiments revealed striking hidden differences in model-brain alignment.

Chat with AI and have it build your own cognitive task and connect data all for free! What's not to like? Try this out and let us know your feedback!
1/ AI has taken care of most of the coding. It hasn't touched the rest of running a study: hosting, recruitment, paying participants, monitoring, analysis. Still a different platform for each.
We built VibeMyExpt to put it in one place

Great summary of how to pursue a career in astronomy!
I am often asked questions by youngsters and their (often anxious) parents about career possibilities for astronomy research in India. Here is a blog post that captures most of what I usually say. @TweetinRohit @asipoec yogeshw.github.io/blog/blog/…
Key events during these interactions elicited distinct and reliable neural signatures that reflected the encoding priorities of each region. Visual and motor regions were clearly dissociated in screen tasks, but were dissociated only at specific events in the natural task. 7/8
