#introduction (moving to scicomm.xyz)
Hi! I am a cognitive neuroscientist interested in attentional fluctuations and mind wandering, learning and decision-making, non-invasive brain stimulation and computational methods.
I also like dabbling in statistical modelling and all kinds of quantitative methods. Passionate user of #rstats and #python.
Make the net weird again. Hand write sites like it’s the 90s. Pick interesting domain names and make fan sites or random knowledge known to everyone. Don’t monetize anything. Spearhead new protocols like Gemini. Make mods for games on your site. Make FAQs for obscure games no one knows about. Make public software services available to anyone. Make a news site about a really random subject. Create music in all kinds of different formats. Most of all, do it because you want to!
#introduction Escaper from the bird site, where mostly tweeting about (especially Welsh) politics and occasionally classical music. Implacable opponent of #Brexit, especially interested in fiscal and transport policy.
Retired Whitehall Civil Servant.

The founder of Duolingo has said that he is pleased to see so many people learn Welsh on the platform who did not have the opportunity as children. https://nation.cymru/news/duolingo-founder-delights-in-uptake-of-welsh-on-platform-it-means-a-lot-to-people/

To introduce myself... I'm Antoni, I'm in Denbighshire. I've worked on this project since 2014. It's not my job, but I do devote a lot of time to it (ask my family, they'll confirm that!)
If you have Belgian ancestors who were in north Wales 100+ years ago, I may know a little about them. Please ask! Or please tell me about them...
