Do you work on surface MRI such as HCP data? Our paper is finally out in Imaging Neuroscience, showing biases in surface fMRI. The revised ms has many new insights! TLDR: Vertices are much closer to each other in sulci, resulting in (fake) high spatial autocorrelation. (1/5)

It's hard to overstate what a big deal this paper is: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/.... Head motion in dMRI is NOT like head motion in BOLD.

Cortical maturation unfolds hierarchically, endowing the PFC with extended plasticity. But do timeframes of plasticity vary across PFC layers? With 7T quantitative myelin imaging, EEG, and cognitive data, we uncover heterochronous laminar maturation in the PFC 1/n. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Finally out in its polished form 🤩 New methodological avenues that help facilitate looking at individual brain functional organization in developmental populations 👶🧠

The scipy conference is one of the most welcoming and most inspiring conferences I have ever attended. It's at the center of a network of collaborators that work together across many different disciplines and sectors to improve scientific computing openly and broadly.

We are super excited about this -- the SYPRES initiative for living systematic reviews on clinical trials of psychedelics in psychiatry. All credit to @parkersingleton.bsky.social and the team at #PennLINC + #ACTTION.

Psychedelic mental health research is booming—but how do we keep up with rapidly evolving evidence? 🌱 Our team proposes a living evidence synthesis approach to ensure clinicians, policymakers, and the public have access to the latest, most reliable data. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s44... 🧪🧵

The limiting factor for MRI based prediction of behavioral traits may be neither the imaging nor the pipeline or learning algorith but rather the reliability of the target phenotypes Thought provoking work my Martin Gell et al: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

hey -- i'm hiring a postdoc! the ad will be up shortly, but looking for someone with network neuroscience experience (very broadly). the position isn't tied to any specific project/grant, so lots of flexibility in terms of what you'd actually *do*. hmu if you might be interested/want to learn more!

Good news everyone! A new version of graph-tool is just out! @graph-tool.skewed.de graph-tool.skewed.de Graph-tool is a comprehensive and efficient Python library to work with networks, including structural, dynamical, and statistical algorithms, as well as visualization. 1/N #networkscience

Grateful to the OHBM communications committee (curiously not yet here?) and particularly to @audreycluo.bsky.social for putting together this interview with yours truly: www.ohbm-com.com/blog/intervi..., in which I had the opportunity to hold forth on my educational motivations and philosophy

Check it out! The future of Neurosynth. We launched Neurosynth Compose: A free and open platform for neuroimaging meta-analysis. NS-Compose makes it easy to perform custom neuroimaging meta-analyses without leaving the browser. It's live, check it out! compose.neurosynth.org

We're excited to release new versions of our BIDS-Apps for processing and analyzing #dmri data, QSIPrep and QSIRecon! Our team has been working hard to prepare these pipelines to process infant data and bring them in line with the @nipreps.bsky.social ecosystem. #neuroimaging #nipreps #bids 1/10

If you are a Julia user you should be aware of this: yuri.is/not-julia/

Here's a starter pack with the great folks from the PennLINC team!

Announcing: BIDS Validator 2.0 This is a complete rewrite to base the validator on the declarative BIDS schema. Most importantly, this validator boasts long-awaited support for BIDS Derivative datasets. bids-standard.github.io/bids-validat... #BIDS #BrainImagingDataStructure

This is going to be a fun and impactful project - I'd be happy to talk details if anyone is interested or has questions!

Our paper of BABS is now out @imagingneurosci.bsky.social! doi.org/10.1162/imag... BABS is a user-friendly and generalizable Python package 📦 for reproducible image processing at scale.
