Cool article about our recent paper by @nature.com ๐Ÿคฉ @peterkok.bsky.social, @smfleming.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Pro tip, folks: if you make a figure for a publication, donโ€™t just hand the copyright over to the publisher. Post it on OSF first and then give yourself permission to use it in the first publication and then all future publications. That way, no permissions issues.

When I first started working with resting state fMRI as a postdoc, there was a lot of skepticism about what we could learn from it. 20 years later, it's hard to imagine where the field of neuroscience would be without it. Here's a summary ๐Ÿง  www.nature.com/articles/s41...

๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’ญ Why do some people remember their dreams more than others? In our new preprint, we used multimodal neuroimaging (qMRI, DTI, rs-fMRI) and data-driven analysis (LICA) in 258 participants (!!!), revealing unique structural and functional brain signatures linked to dream recall frequency.

We're still accepting apps for our research scientist position with LEVANTE (levante-network.org). This position is ideal for folks wanting to be the interface between a cool scientific project and an awesome team of software developers. Think of it as a technical product manager, but for science!

Our imaging center at Rutgers is looking for an MRI technologist!! Come work with us. We're pretty cool ๐Ÿ˜Ž

New from our lab: your brain doesnโ€™t just remember time - it bends it. We show that the dopamine system responds to natural breakpoints in experience, and this relates to more stretched memories of time. Blinking also increases, signaling encoding of new memories. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Super excited that the first article from my PhD research has now been reviewed and recommended by @pci-regreports.bsky.social and is available to read at osf.io/preprints/os...!

NSF just cancelled ALL grants to Harvard researchers. Thatโ€™s right - physics, astronomy, bio, CAREER - ALL. Professors wonโ€™t get paid. Postdocs wonโ€™t get paid. PhD students wonโ€™t get paid. This is insane! If they can do this to Harvard, they can do this to your school.

www.nature.com/articles/s41... Excited to see this out in @natcomms.nature.com today! This paper builds on the lab's work on self-regulation of arousal through pupil-based biofeedback. We assessed several markers of cortical and cardiac arousal in a pure self-regulation and dual task setting.

1/ Causal Supervenience: Supervenience suggests that higher-level brain functions (and hence causality) are determined by lower-level processes (like neurons or molecules). Highlevel functions aren't reducible to the sum of their parts. They emerge from the complex micro-level

"Re-emit" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here... ๐Ÿค”

IMO one of the solution to the reproducibility crisis in science is to stop taking scientific articles too seriously. What matters is code, data, open protocols, pre-registration. Certainly not fact the article was endorsed by a publisher, especially predatory ones like Nature Publishing Co

I have seen folks waste so much time by not properly planning research. Missed literature, missing controls, ignored hypotheses, etc. Lack of planning also produces bad science (e.g. analysis until significant). So I am writing an app. Looking for feedback. scientific-paper-planner-test.vercel.app

โ€œ[This]finding challenges the notion of a strictly human-specific Arcuate Fasciculus morphology and suggests that language-related neural specialisation in humans likely evolved through gradual evolutionary strengthening of a pre-existing connection, rather than arising de novoโ€ ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿง  ๐Ÿ‘‡
