Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Despite a global push to recognize the value of Indigenous knowledge systems to science and scientific research, neuroscience has largely remained embedded in Western and Eurocentric ways of knowing and doing. Major contributors to this phenomenon include the low representation of Indigenous Peoples in the neurosciences worldwide that stems, at least in part, from a long-standing neglect of Indigeneity in Western academic institutions. Past experiences with exploitation where Indigenous Peoples have historically been treated as subjects to be studied and not collaborative partners to be respected has further compounded the problem. Support systems to recruit and retain Indigenous People as neuroscientists, neurologists, and psychiatrists among others have evolved over time in response, but success is still limited. Inclusive and non-exploitive capacity building is therefore a needed key strategy to entwine Indigenous ways of knowing and doing into neuroscience research and training, and diversify and authentically strengthen research and clinical care strategies.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
