For no particular reason I’d like to share my “golden brain” with the bluesky world 🧠 a few years back I had the opportunity to scan (with help, of course), process & 3D print my own noggin (at 40% size)! It was a lot of fun & only possible through the Makers Lab @ UCSF - thanks!! #neuroskyence

For those looking for alternatives to OSF, I recommend two resources comparing features of other Generalist Repositories. Resources are from GREI, an NIH funded initiative.

My last game was frequentist. This one's Bayesian.
In BATTLE BAYES you're M₀, the intercept-only null model — fed up with being rejected. Collect evidence, INTERCEPT your rivals' excess θ, get SELECTED.
Yes, the button name is a pun.
