Encouraging! #AppleM1 Silicon (MBA) smokes my 2017 MBP15" i7 on #rstats #tidverse tidymodels hotel example, random forests (last fit 100 trees). Experimental arm-R build = extra speedup. Thanks @fxcoudert for gfortran build & @juliasilge @topepos + team for the nice API + DOC. And it’s wonderful to see that essential R packages are working on the M1 platform.

I am very excited to share our latest work published in @eLife! We combined #MEG, #fMRI and #MRI for #BrainAge prediction & #biomarker development. Each modality added unique information & enhanced brain-behavior mapping! elifesciences.org/articles/54055 Thread👇 1/ We combined anatomical MRI (surface area, thickness, volume), fMRI-connectivity and MEG (source power, connectivity, alpha-peak, 1/f, latencies) with a stacking approach (1: ridge, 2: random forest). We made sure our model potentially extracts information from missing values.

Excited to share our paper @NeuroImage_EiC by @DavSabbagh with @PierreAblin @GaelVaroquaux @agramfort doi.org/10.1016/j.neur… Nonlinear subject-level regression on M/EEG using linear models without source localization: theory + empirical benchmarks Thread👇 1/ When regressing outcomes on M/EEG power spectra (f = power; f = log(power), ...), volume conduction creates a nonlinear problem that cannot be addressed with otherwise effective linear models. Source localization can fix this but is not always available. How can we do without?
