We are running a UC San Diego survey on the use of artificial intelligence in EEG workflows. It takes about 15 minutes, and you do not need to be a current AI user. Full details in the image.

SIPS has shaped how I think about collaborative research more than any other community, so this recognition means a great deal!

We tested #overinclusion after #exclusion #P3 stayed stable, but #P2 and self-reports of emotion & belonging shifted. Inclusion ≠ just the flip side of exclusion. https://doi.org/10.1111/psyp.7010708 Jul 2025 12:18 +0000at://did:plc:vr4jfbwefsp6wpkaqgcbx4kt/app.bsky.feed.post/3lthbvfpqnk2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/ufangyang.bsky.social/post/3ltet5m3ujk2gExcited to share our new paper: a walkthrough of tools, tradeoffs, & practical decisions #ECRs face when doing #OpenScience across curation, processing, harmonizing, and sharing #MRI and #EEG data.
