#NeuroMethods question:

What is the smallest optimal distance between independent #Tetrodes in dorsal CA1 (so that you don’t record from the same neuron in adjacent tetrodes and also movement of one doesn’t influence the movement of others)?
Say, using 12.7 μm diameter wire?

In Chicago, fewer than 4% of DUI checkpoints are in majority white neighborhoods, but 25% of drunk driving accidents are in white neighborhoods. 🙂🙃

In California, fewer than 1% of drunk driving arrests come from checkpoints.🤦🏿‍♂️

Cops are using DUI checkpoints as an excuse to stop Black drivers, then searching them and arresting them for other things. Because policing in America. Because racism.

Figure 3 on the citation concentration index, or c2-index for short, is quite interesting.

Ever wanted to do spatial clustering of orign-destination (OD) data? Well you may want to now! University of Leeds Institute for Transport Studies (ITS) and Alan Turing Institute PhD student Hussein Mahfouz has created this early-stage visualisation of spatial clustering of these zone-zone flows 🏗️ Case study of #Leeds. Looks beautiful AND useful 🎉

"Watching the Watchdogs: Israel’s legacy of media deception stumbles"

"Israel’s deception campaign against UNRWA does not seem to be working as expected. Why?

In the last two weeks, the Israeli government put on a masterclass on how to use the Western media to spread fake news & propaganda & to justify anti-Palestinian actions taken by the U.S. & its allies.

"It worked – but only in part."

"Em primeiro lugar, a prevalência de soundbites é inversamente proporcional à quantidade de temas essenciais que os debates cobrem. Há um apagão que me deixa especialmente perplexa relativamente a dois assuntos determinantes do nosso futuro no médio prazo – a educação e a ciência."

"Intrigued by a citation-boosting service that we unravelled during our investigation, we contacted the service while undercover as a fictional author, and managed to purchase 50 citations."

Good tip:

"Uma forma de ver se a informação essencial num documento é legível é converter o documento num ficheiro .txt, desprovido de formatação complexa, e ver se a informação continua perceptível."

“Rehab delivered live online improves health-related quality of life for people with long Covid at three and 12 months,” study co-author Gordon McGregor, professor of clinical exercise physiology and rehabilitation at University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire NHS Trust, said on a call with reporters. “This is the first high-quality study to confirm the benefit and also confirm a lack of harm from rehabilitation.”

@cyrilpedia Oh no. It's one of those https://xkcd.com/1574/ situations, isn't it?

Tesso is a #yokai that takes the form of a gigantic rat. This creature is the vengeful spirit of a monk named Raido who was betrayed by the emperor. Tesso gathered an army of rats that wreaked havoc on the places and people associated with Raido's betrayal.
