[With help from David Weiss] I spent much of my PhD working on algorithms for making sense of gigabytes of brain data from fMRI scanners, especially on a fairly new approach called Multi-variate Pattern Analysis (MVPA). I want to show you how the MVPA approach is useful for tackling certain kinds of questions. Think of […]
I code compulsively and with great delight. Writing software is like weaving a magical spell, something out of nothing. I’ve worked on a mix of consumer, web, scientific and open source software projects. Here are a few. Repositories I’m gregdetre on GitHub (currently all hidden in private repositories). My most recent open source work was produced […]
I finished my PhD in neuroscience in 2010, working in Ken Norman‘s Computational Memory lab at Princeton. Jump to: summary of PhD work on forgetting scientific publications teaching Weakening memories by half-remembering them For my PhD thesis, I worked on a series of behavioral and fMRI memory experiments to understand a little more about forgetting, called ‘Weakening memories by half-remembering […]
All blog posts Data science Sanity checks as data sidekicks. Organizing knowledge A long time ago, I wrote my own note-taking software. This got me thinking a lot about how we organize knowledge on computers. We want to tag things, and for those tags to have their own hierarchy. (also) Wouldn’t it be great if our […]
