1/ I wanted to make a single starting point or hub of resources for all things cognitive neuroscience. Today I’m officially ready to share it! Across 55 ‘web pages’—funding sources, online learning, experimental stimuli, sample essays, and so much more!
meta-meta-resources.org
meta-meta-resources.org
2/ There is a particular focus on this site being up-to-date though. To do so, it relies largely on existing meta-resources (it gets its name cause it’s a meta resource of these meta-resources).
3/ These meta-resources are each regularly maintained, and almost all editable/open-source, so this website will be too!
4/ There were some areas of course where I couldn’t find an existing meta-resource. In those cases I created new ones. For example, I made a data table of websites that either host online experiment communities, have a free experiment GUI builder, and/or provide a server.
5/ I also made a list of as many scholarly societies I could find in psychology and neuroscience, largely inspired from the Scholarly Society Project that has been retired and was not open-sourced. My list is currently up to 436!
6/ As much as possible, I tried to highlight projects that were open-source and free to use. The site may look small at first but once you start playing with the dropdown sidebar menu you’ll be able to see all the resources hidden below. Hopefully that makes it less daunting!
7/ I feel a little bad taking any credit from largely just spotlighting projects that themselves did the heavy lifting, and in the rest of the thread I’m going to highlight some of those projects. But I do want to say that I hope this resource can level the playing field a little
8/ I guess part of the reason #hiddencurriculum is a thing is because of an inequity of information. I hope that this resource can bridge the gap.
9/ Please see meta-meta-resources.org/contributing/g… to read how to add to it. Hopefully it can be like a collective body of knowledge that you can add to when you otherwise would just bookmark a resource on your local computer.
11/ Without further ado- first thanks to my amazingly-talented cousin Jesse Halpern for the logo. And @Maria_Koudary for so much feedback and design help along the way.
12/ @vsoch has created a list of experiments that can be run in the browser and whose code is available. It’s probably the most helpful resource on my page about re-running existing experiments in the browser.
13/ Also shoutout to @psychopy, @psytoolkit, @GorillaPsyc, and @nbrosowsky for similar contributions.
14/ A bunch of groups also have expts that can be re-run online in the browser rather than requiring coding or downloading—@LisaDeBruine, @GetPsychstudio, @apa, @tstbl, @UofGPsychology, @LabVanced, @SmallWorldWords, @ProjectImplicit, @SocialPsych, @nodegameorg, @cambridgebrains.
15/ I put together a list of online experiment builder GUI’s and participant communities that was inspired by @suchow’s list a few years ago. That list was more general than just cog-neuro research and it hasn’t been updated in a couple yrs, but it was nonetheless greatly helpful
16/ @_YiChiaChen_ tweeted this year that “collecting online experiment resource has become my newest obsession" and indeed it seems quite evident (in the best of ways!). Her website and powerpoint on web development lay out a panoptic (digital) land of online experiments.
17/ On a different note, @minda_mo and @methanoJen have a database of directories of people from underrepresented groups in STEM and it is just so wonderful. There are currently more than 70 directories included within that meta-resource.
18/ @ASAPbio_ has everything you might have wanted to know about preprints, especially their running list of preprint servers. They’ve also put together a cool website called ReimagineReview that tracks special initiatives/journals for open peer-reviewed publishing.
19/ @RegReports has the best resource out there on which journals are registered-reports compatible. @elena__rybina also made a list just for journals in cognitive neuroscience.
20/ I sort of gave up trying to make a list of all the conferences in psychology and neuroscience, just because there are so many of them. But the best aggregators I’ve found so far are from @SimonsFdn and @BiasWatchNeuro.
21/ @cliffordianw recently created a database of experimental face stimuli. It’s up to 88 datasets, has a search tool, and lists 19-columns worth of information about most datasets. Meanwhile @BodoWinter and @LinguList have a similarly-extensive list for linguistics stimuli.
22/ I tried to just point to learn-neuroimaging.github.io/tutorials-and-…, by @RemiGau and @katjaQheuer et al., rather than reattempting to recreate it cause it really is so comprehensive. So if you’re looking for pipeline or analyses answers, look no further.
23/ In fact learn-neuroimaging.github.io/tutorials-and-… also covers neuroscience-specific data repositories as well as any website. For a broader array of data repositories it’s hard to beat @re3data, which is literally a “Registry of Research Data Repositories.”
24/ Alex Lang has a spreadsheet full of NSF GRFP essays and reviews from winners and non-winners alike.
Some people on @thegradcafe also created a database of NDSEG grants from this year. Plus @weecology created the broader ogrants.org, while @jrossibarra has a repository for both grants and job applications.
25/ @tfburns built a spreadsheet of summer schools in computational neuroscience. It’s up to almost 50 programs for 2020! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
26/ As a Ph.D. student, I didn’t mind learning I was eligible for special discounts on digital products. S/o to @StuAppCentre, @HQdeepak, and @FFStudentsorg.
27/ I think my new favorite GitHub account belongs to @FreeEbookFound, run by @gluejar et al. They have over a 100 science books and 2,000 coding/math books that are free!
28/ Meanwhile the @OerMason is a search engine for open educational materials across 21 (and counting) other giant sources.
29/ @aarontay didn’t contribute a particular resource, but following his Twitter feed has made me aware of so many digital academic tools. Ditto @metasdl and the websites KausalFlow from @MoritzW42 and @scolary.
30/ @ilikelists aptly compiled a list of existing lab guides and manuals docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
31/ @lisa_briand made a list of application waivers for applying to neuroscience Ph.D. programs docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
32/ @worldwideneuro came out during the Covid-19 quarantine and has become a hit; by far the most comprehensive list of neuroscience talks, including both live talks and previous ones.
33/ I link to a lot of job and fellowship listings, but I think a few of the most sprawling are from @ECRcentral, the @neuromatch job board, @MinorityPostdoc, @deniswirtz via Johns Hopkins’ database, and @IBParticipation.
@maria_khoudary oops!
his repository is here github.com/suchow/awesome… and the new list I put together is here meta-meta-resources.org/running-studie…
You can find some of her helpful resources on her awesome website ycc.vision/Resource
you can see the full list here
meta-meta-resources.org/opportunities/…
meta-meta-resources.org/opportunities/…
their website is here worldwideneuro.com, and for other websites for watching talks see here meta-meta-resources.org/running-studie…
