Parmi ces recommandations, le colloque propose d'ailleurs que les agences adoptent les méthodologies employées par les revues systématiques de la littérature ou les méta-analyses.
En effet à la lecture des rapports de l'EFSA ou de l'EPA on est parfois assez surpris par la légèreté de la méthodologie.
Comme dans cet exemple, où une valeur est choisir parce qu'elle est « bien au milieu ».

Accordingly, speech dynamics are extremely complex, and this complexity needs to be encoded by the human brain. We will use psychophysics and neuroimaging to relate the actual information content in speech at an utterance-by-utterance level, and the corresponding brain rhythms that may be able to encode these features. (3/4)
We are interested in how rhythmic parameters of the speech signal may engage brain rhythms at similar temporal rates, a currently topical idea in the auditory neuroscience of speech processing. However, we wish to challenge the view that these rhythmic patterns are fixed: at the level of individual utterances, there can be many pauses and variations in speech rate. (2/4)
Alessandro Tavano and I were were recently awarded an #ANR-#DFG joint grant for a comparative project on the dynamics of speech tracking in French and German. (1/4)

Je me demande s’il existe des listes d’institutions (notamment #GLAM, universités et centres de recherche) ayant migré vers #Mastodon… et curieux de savoir si certaines d’entre elles ont mis en place une instance (plutôt au niveau d’un réseau national/international, d’un ministère, d’une fédération quelconque etc.).
Pour l’ESR français, ça pourrait pas être un service de Renater par exemple ? 🤷🏻♂️
Est-ce que je suis le seul à être gêné par le podcast "Votre cerveau" d'Albert Moukheiber sur @franceculture? Le thème et le principe de l'émission sont enthousiasmants, et les illusions auditives toujours fascinantes, mais le résultat est un peu décevant à mon goût car les interprétations sont parfois un peu douteuses, voire à rebours des expériences originales... Je sais que le concept est de faire de la vulgarisation scientifique en 9 minutes, mais quand même... https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceculture/podcasts/votre-cerveau-avec-albert-moukheiber

To continue on the issue of #discrimination in selection committees, it seems to me that there are two levels on which to act. First, to reduce the influence of biases in the decision, for example by choosing the selection criteria before looking at the applications. However, this kind of tools is not enough: even if we manage to eliminate judgment biases, blindly basing the decision on merit is unfair for candidates facing discrimination or coming from countries where research is less developed, and who did not have the same opportunities as others. Complementary tools are therefore proposed, for example, considering the potential of candidates and not their achievements. I think this aspect is important, but more difficult to implement: Given that not all members of the jury are sensitive to the issue of discrimination, it can be tricky to argue that we want to put forward a candidate with a lesser CV because we think he or she has greater potential... assessing achievements is a bit like "counting points", whereas assessing potential seems more subjective. Do any of you have a concrete experience of how to deal with this in a jury? @academicchatter #AcademicMastodon #genderbias

@leovarnet Our committee put together a list of tips on this here (section "You are on a selection committee and want to avoid bias in your admission/hiring procedure"): https://equalityanddiversity.dec.ens.fr/en/am-i-biased-15020
Hello #AcademicMastodon @academicchatter ! I am part of a jury that selects students for our master program (application review + interviews). What are your tips for reducing #genderbias and all forms of #discriminations to a minimum? (@jesswade maybe?)
@academicchatter #AcademicMastodon #SciComm A related question: we may have to look for a server hosted in Europe, due to French regulation... but I have trouble finding this information, as I'm far from a #fediverse expert. @freemo where are the #qoto servers based? Is there any chance I can create an account for my lab here? Thanks!

The collapse of a startup leaves implanted medical devices in > 700 people
The unavailability of the proprietary SW needed to recalibrate the devices and maintain its effectiveness, and the draining of batteries, will leave them without treatment and with HW implanted in their bodies
They have to hack their own implants
And it is not an isolated case but a trend

Bonjour ! Au sujet de Steven Pinker, j'avais écrit deux billets de blog à la suite de la publication de son livre "Le Triomphe des Lumières" et de la série de conférences qu'il a donnée à cette occasion. Notez bien qu'il ne s'agit que d'une petite partie de sa production (essentiellement ses thèses concernant le progrès, la "raison", et le libéralisme, pour le dire vite). Notamment, il ne s'agit pas de sa production en tant que scientifique, mais de ses positions dans le domaine économique-politique, où il n'a pas d'expertise. C'est pourtant ces facettes de Steven Pinker qui sont les plus médiatisées.

En février, le Spectrum de l'IEEE alertait sur l'obsolescence technique des implants neuronaux : https://spectrum.ieee.org/bionic-eye-obsolete#toggle-gdpr - 350 patients qui avaient reçu un implant oculaire pour leur rendre en partie la vue l'ont vu s'arrêter brutalement... quand l'entreprise a fermé !
Hello #AcademicMastodon #SciComm @academicchatter! I'd like to create an account for my #psychophysics lab on Mastodon... Any advice on which server to choose? Is there anything in particular I should be careful about?
Mediapart revient sur le faux scoop du Point sur le couple Garrido-Corbière. L’hebdo avait promis de publier une enquête pour expliquer le fiasco mais l'article rédigé a été enterré. Le site d'information pointe "un journal à folle allure, avec un processus de vérification minimal". En interne, élus syndicaux et journalistes avaient alerté des mois avant sur la situation critique au sein de la rédaction.
