In a meta-analysis of 210 biomedical AI studies that statistically compared models under cross-validation, 97% used invalid statistical tests.
Here's our new preprint doi.org/10.64898/202... led by @tianchu.bsky.social @hetuli.bsky.social @shaoshiz.bsky.social @nichols.bsky.social 1/N
Calling out to other #DataLad users: At @oxcin.bsky.social we're thinking of replacing an XNAT instance that transfers data from our scanner and archives data with a service built on top of DataLad. Any thoughts or experiences people can share?
Great to hear from @loiclnlg.bsky.social speaking for the Oxford Healthcare Data Science CDT on Tools for Environmentally Sustainable Research using AI and High Performance -- included a shoutout to great work of @ohbmenvironment.bsky.social on footprint of neuroimaging processing tools
Still some spaces left in next month's FSL course!

Very excited to play with the @ohbmofficial.bsky.social
2026 abstract browser by Satra Ghosh & Mario Senden abstractatlas.brainkb.org/ohbm2026 - it allows flexible searching, by abstract text, methods used, or 'claims', as mined by different LLMs, and exploring by semantic similarity in 2D and 3D
Some Simple Economics of AGI: "because intelligence is now an abundant commodity, the nature of human work must adapt—toward roles as intent directors, verifiers and underwriters, or creators in the non-measurable economy where value is anchored in human connection" arxiv.org/abs/2602.20946
Come to the Oxford Big Data Institute and join the @smartbiomed.bsky.social project to work on complex developmental longitudinal data including brain imaging! 3 year postdoc supervised by myself, Naomi Wray and Wesley Thompson
