Rational functions as flow fields #rtistry

I’m enjoying mainlining the pure, unadulterated #psychology content on here but I’m finding it hard to find others to follow. Is there a running list (Google doc?) of academic psychologists on Mastodon somewhere?

#introduction I'm currently a research assistant interested in clinical research regarding suicidality and depression.

If anyone has advice on how to connect to neuroscience, neuropsychology, and psychology communities let me know!

I also do space+coffee mashup artwork! :D

#neuroscience experts, what's your take on #neurofeedback? This is out of my scope of research, and what I've got from looking at the literature is that it's been studied for a long time, but RCTs still come up with mixed findings, although an important factor could be lack of standardization across trials. And that it could a useful perturbation strategy in studying complex networks and network control.

In any case, as it stands now, it seems to me to be somewhat far from having applicability outside of the lab. But then I look at all the companies that are pushing it as a form of treatment for all sorts of neuropsychiatric issues and I'm wondering whether I'm missing something or it's just a classic case of neurobabble.

Re#introduction 👋

I'm a researcher who works at the intersection of #EducationalPsychology (how humans learn) and #Psychometrics (development of statistical tools for the objective measurement of skills & knowledge). I'm particularly interested in the measurement & modeling issues in the domain. More recently I have been looking at the marriage between #CausalInference & Psychometric Modeling. I also build & publish #OpenSource #JuliaLang packages to support my research. #EdPsych #CausalInf.

One thing I'm considering right now is whether to use Hugo or Franklin.jl.

Hugo is more mature and more oriented towards the kind of site she needs.

On the other hand, I know Julia a lot better than Go and the templates we're looking at in Hugo need adaptation to her specific needs.

Both are very fast. Franklin.jl has a longer startup time, but it's fast to refresh which is the most important thing

While Franklin.jl is less popular, Julia uses it for their website, so it's not going anywhere

I'm really happy today! A bunch of my best math/physics friend on Twitter are now here on Mastodon!

In this thread I'll introduce you to some of them. If you like my stuff - explanations of math, physics, and related things - you may like my friends, too.

Let me start listing some... I don't know the best way to do this, so it may take a couple of tries.

(If I left you out, it could be just my forgetfulness.)

Since I am “new” here (account is old, posting is new) let’s start a thread here where you say what you are looking to connect on and what you can offer. Then share a few accounts that are awesome. We can boost accordingly.

I am Nick and I bring positivity, will cheer on your successes and I love to make things.

I am looking for other positive voices and people looking to make the world better.

Here are some recommendations @mike @hackster_io @arturo182

Time for the semifinals!

Mint - Debian

A few months ago I stopped crossposting from Twitter to Mastodon.

Why?

I discovered (as many of you have) that it's a completely different vibe here. Different people. Different habits. Different interests.

Zero algorithms.

And people here are more interested in deeper conversations.

Combined with the extra characters and (gasp!) actual editing capabilities, I'm making an effort to post unique content here that isn't just copied from Twitter.

LET'S GO!

#TwitterMigration #Mastodon culture and the glorious picture #Captions ...

I had real trouble wrapping my head around this. A lot of the imagery I produce is clearly for sighted people, so it was hard to say what blind people would or could get out of it. How can I explain my pictures?!

But the answer is STORY.

Don't fuss over the visual details "red hair" "left/right" etc. Tell what's going on. It's like going from animation to audiodrama. What's actually IMPORTANT about the picture?

I would like to express my deepest appreciation for all the hard work put in by those who develop and run various #fediverse platforms. What a time to be doing what you are doing! :)

Thank you! Take good care of yourselves. ❤️

I've published a build of my stealth game prototype, built with the #GodotEngine 4 beta. There's also a short trailer I threw together, and the source code on GitHub! If anyone has a few minutes to play through it and give feedback that would be very appreciated 😀
