Here's the email announcement that I circulated about my new position: Dear friends, It's a new year, and I'm pleased to report that I have accepted and started a new job: as of January 1st, I'm an assistant professor in the Department of Neurological Sciences at the University of Nebraska…

Pictures of neuroimaging data are incredibly compelling, but creating those images can be a challenge. While many tools are available, none of them are ideal for easily creating lots of images. I decided to explore whether my favorite programming language (Python) could be used to quickly create many images of…

This is a placeholder post for now, but our manuscript describing deficits in observational learning in patients with focal vmPFC damage is out at Cerebral Cortex. More at the link: http://t.co/JFF5KRoZA0 CC just posted our manuscript describing deficits in observational learning after vmPFC lesion. @dharshsky #article—…

As I've mentioned before, I love to use Python for data processing and statistical analysis. In this entry, I'll describe my recent experience with the Anaconda Python distribution published by Continuum Analytics. Thus far, using Anaconda has been very straightforward and I'm sufficiently impressed to recommend it. The problem A…

The Python programming language has a terrific and rapidly growing scientific ecosystem, and I'm currently using some of those tools to apply Support Vector Machines to neuroimaging data. Our neuroimaging lab uses openSUSE Linux, and getting the necessary Python packages installed proved to be a bit tricky. With some help…
