as long as we're abandoning Neuroimage: anyone interested in a new family of journals where the only criterion for publication is a letter of acceptance from an Elsevier journal?

sometimes it's nice to sit quietly and think back on all the times you've been part of a perfect zipper merge

The venn diagram of Twitter ads and ads you'd find in the back of 'Soldier of Fortune' magazine will eventually become a single overlapping circle.

Excited to this study published today. What information do you seek first, the effort or the reward? Seeking one might mean you are less motivated than the other... nature.com/articles/s4159…

Like most, I'm conflicted about the change in eLife review policies. On the one hand, they will probably publish more manuscripts with questionable results. On the other hand, they will also make more money from publication fees on those manuscripts. It's a delicate balance.

dACC signals prospective information gain independent of immediate or long-term reward value. Just terrific work led by @I_CogliatiDezza (with @axelcleeremans). Come for the fMRI and reinforcement learning, stay for the bayesian tree search. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…
