Great moment: My five-month-old daughter said "dad" for the first time😀. Let's see if the result is going to be replicated. 😀

Excited about this new paper from our group: 7T MRI of the locus coeruleus in #anxiety disorders, #PTSD, and healthy adults. The more anxious arousal, the stronger the LC–dACC coupling; diagnostic category showed no effect. My takeaway: Symptoms, not labels, map onto brain circuits. nature.com/articles/s41398-0…

There may not be many people left in 10 years who can write, or want to read, things longer than a page or two. But there will be at least a few of us, and we'll be a powerful club.

What if depression isn’t just a mood disorder, but a disorder of prediction? 🧠 New research highlights how EEG reveals rigid belief updating in depression—where positive information is registered by the brain, but carries too little weight to revise expectations about the self and world. cell.com/trends/neuroscience… #ComputationalPsychiatry #PredictiveProcessing #Neuroscience #EEG #DepressionResearch #MentalHealth Trends in Neurosciences

We may forget football one day, but we will never forget you, @Cristiano . Thank you for everything, CR7. 🐐

The new White House policy requiring green card applicants to apply from outside the US is a capricious attack on legal immigration. It will hurt families, leave us with fewer doctors, teachers and scientists, and hurt American competitiveness in AI.

The next edition of the IEEE Machine Learning for Signal Processing (MLSP) Workshop will take place in Atlanta, USA, from September 28 to October 1, 2026! 🤩 Take a look at the website for further information and deadlines: mlsp26.ieeesps.org/ See you soon Atlanta! 🚀

Calling all neuromodulation researchers. We are looking for the latest updates in neurotechnology for the DBS Think Tank Volume VI special issue. You now have until April 9 to submit your manuscripts. Details and submission link: frontiersin.org/research-top…

The mistake people make re meditation: they presume we should feel peaceful while doing it. It’s about observing your stress & learning to not react to it (in the same way exercise is a stressor that triggers an adaption). Meditation builds stress tolerance. @RichieJDavidson

Richard Feynman’s savage takedown of pseudo-science still burns in 2026: “Social science is an example of a science which is not a science. They follow the forms… but they don’t get any laws. They haven’t found out anything.” He goes harder: Experts who “sit at a typewriter and make up” claims — “organic food is better,” “this diet cures everything” — as if it’s settled science, when no rigorous experiments or checks have been done. Feynman: “I know what it means to really know something. How careful you have to be. How easy it is to fool yourself. I see how they get their information… and I can’t believe that they know.” The Nobel physicist calls it straight: most of what passes for “expert” opinion is noise dressed up as knowledge. In an age drowning in TikTok “science,” influencers, and clickbait studies — Feynman’s 1:52 rant feels more relevant than ever. Who’s the biggest pseudo-expert that grinds your gears right now? Clip is timeless fire — watch it and feel the clarity.

Peer review would be easier if we stopped treating it like combat with the authors. Results want to be free, and perfect is the enemy of good. Do the data support the conclusions? If so, that’s enough. A paper isn’t a blank slate for projecting your own ideas.
