Probably the best thing you'll see today. In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world. The results 🧵 1/22

Come and check out my poster tomorrow at #SNL2022 in which we explore brain structure in poor comprehenders, poor decoders, and good readers featuring @childmindinst data! Poster E42- Saturday 3:15-5:00, coauthors @nab_koirala and @nicolelandi
Zoomed in photo of academic poster showing preliminary results which indicate that poor comprehenders had increased surface area over poor decoders in bilateral middle frontal regions and unexpected poor comprehenders had increased surface area over expected average comprehenders and unexpected poor comprehenders in right superior and middle frontal regions.
