Thanks, Ruchira - that's it: the point on the internal surface of the skull at the junction of the coronal and sagittal sutures.

What tools do you recommend to give a conference talk remotely? What are the requirements on the sender/ receiver side?
Michael Nielsen and AJCann liked this
Elluminate (http://www.elluminate.com/) is one of the best I've come across.
- AJCann
Thanks - they have the "free webinar" scheme that probably fits my needs: http://www.learncentral.org/group... .

Morpho-tools - a repository of morphometric tools and online morphometric workbenches - http://www.morpho-tools.net/
Sebastian Wain and Pawel Szczesny liked this
"The purpose of this site is to provide tools to make morphometric analysis more widely accessible and quicker. All of these tools are open source, written for Mathematica. Many of the analyses can be run for free through this server. Notebooks may also be downloaded and further developed (see contributing)."

Auditory plasticity and speech motor learning — PNAS - http://www.pnas.org/content...
"The perceptual effects observed here indicate the involvement of the somatosensory system in the neural processing of speech sounds and suggest that speech motor learning results in changes to auditory perceptual function."

How to incorporate Open Science into a grant proposal on primate brain morphometry? - http://etherpad.com/Open-Sc...
Pawel Szczesny, Steve Koch and Claudia Koltzenburg liked this
I plan to submit the proposal by the end of the month and naturally want it to be as strong as possible but still able to pass the review.

No idea what discipline they will assign the project to but the focus is on adapting a set of computational morphometric tools (so far basically only used in clinical settings) to comparative evolutionary studies of brain structure across species, starting with primates.
- Daniel Mietchen
If you do not like TeX, a pdf of that section is at http://dl.getdropbox.com/u... . For the moment, I cannot put the whole proposal online but would be happy to make it accessible in private to anyone interested.

Background on the methodology: http://dx.doi.org/10... and http://en.citizendium.org/wiki... .
- Daniel Mietchen
Would it be useful to add to the "Hypotheses" section one of the sort "Many can solve problems better than the few" (quote from http://jopm.org/index... )? How should that be phrased out, knowing that one research project will be just one data point in the assessment of this hypothesis?
- Daniel Mietchen
I have now added one such hypothesis to the brain morphometric ones: "Research requiring distributed expertise and/ or instrumentation~-- like this project~-- benefits from being conducted in the open \citep{Patil:2009p56609,Gowers:2009p60590}." It is clear though, that this project cannot be more than just one data point in the comparison between research conducted in the open or in the traditional way. Still thinking about how to phrase this.
- Daniel Mietchen
Had to remove the latter hypothesis during in-house pre-submission peer review - "don't be too innovative if you want to get funded".
- Daniel Mietchen
which IMHO indicates that scientists who want to get innnovtaive stuff funded should help innovative thinkers get into good funder positions, doesn't it ;-)
