1/ This weekend, the Sakharov Center will close its doors to the public following an eviction order from Moscow officials. One of the rare few places of free debate in #Russia, the Center’s closure comes amid the Kremlin’s crackdown on anti-war dissent. themoscowtimes.com/2023/04/14/aft…
2/ The center opened in 1996 in honor of Andrei Sakharov, a Soviet dissident and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and has long been reputed as the preeminent location for critical discussion on human rights. In 2014, it was designated as a "foreign agent" by Russian officials.
3/ The closure of such an iconic institution is deeply disappointing. #HRF stands with the Sakharov Center, alongside all other organizations deemed "undesirable" and forced to close under Putin’s regime during the harshest repression in decades.
I'll summarize a recent discussion focused on some of the main challenges in developmental cognitive neuroscience, especially for young participants & longitudinal data. Please add to this & maybe we can turn it into a resource for the field 1/11 #mri #eeg #nirs #devneuro #brain
1) Vascular differences: Does the difference in the vascular structure between infants/toddlers/older children lead to problems with interpreting/analyzing #dedvneuro data? Do we need age-specific #hrf functions? What about circadian rhythm effects? 2/11
2) Parcellations/templates: Which #template should you use when analyzing longitudinal data, especially if the brain changes a lot over the study's time course (e.g. age 0-5). Is 'template fit' a confound in these studies? Do we need age-specific parcellations? 3/11
