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)

First post on an exciting new manuscript online today @natneuro.nature.com - in collab with @lucinauddin.bsky.social and Catie Chang. We take a fresh look at the physiological dynamics associated with the global signal ๐Ÿง  ... www.nature.com/articles/s41... Read here: rdcu.be/ek01F

New pre-print reviewing time-series analysis methods based on information theory, with an aim to be accessible, and with a broad focus on applications in neuroimaging. Congratulations @anniegbryant.bsky.social

At present (to my knowledge) a 25kg bag of flour is anything from ยฃ436 ($580) in the south and ยฃ640 ($840) in the north. Vegetables per kilo are: Tomatoes/cucumbers ยฃ11 ($15) Aubergines ยฃ18 ($25) Potatoes ยฃ30 ($40) Please help our friends in Gaza!! Please share their stories!!

We are recruiting two PhD students on cortical folding variability and organisation before birth, using fetal MRI. Come and join a motivated and happy team with tons of great fetal data, in a sunny, friendly, and inclusive environment. tinyurl.com/foldsOrganis... tinyurl.com/foldingVaria...

We want to hear from you! Given recent changes to publicly available data, @thetransmitter.bsky.social wants to know what datasets are most important to the neuroscience community. What datasets do you use in your research? #neuroskyence thetransmitter.typeform.com/datasets?utm...

THIS IS ONE NEURON! Jaw dropping. It distributes a particular neurotransmitter (norepinephrine) across the mouse brain; itโ€™s a locus coeruleus neuron. @jeremiahycohen.bsky.social and colleagues at the @alleninstitute.bsky.social are using new biotech to see things never seen before.

The result of a large (42 authors!) collaboration: "Go Figure: Transparency in neuroscience images preserves context and clarifies interpretation" arxiv.org/abs/2504.07824 TL;DR: The FMRI world can (and should) improve results interpretation and reproducibility *today*, via transparent thresholding.

But how about more "interesting" complex systems? New approaches are breaking ground there. Great review paper. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Our open-source multimodal precision MRI dataset is officially out! ๐Ÿงฒ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿงฒ www.nature.com/articles/s41... osf.io/mhq3f/ @borismontreal.bsky.social @jroyer.bsky.social @themindwanders.bsky.social @jordandekraker.bsky.social

Very happy to see this out! In this work I demonstrate the potential of OPMs for laminar MEG and investigate the impact of factors such as sensor counts, number of measurement axes, co-registration errors, misestimated forward modelsโ€ฆ Already looking forward to Imaging Neuroscienceโ€™s 2025 collage!

I had a great time visiting @notts-psych.bsky.social yesterday! Thanks to everyone for being so welcoming and for the really interesting chats!

If you keep using #Twitter, be aware that the content pushed to your feed is extremely distorted towards right-wing/anti-immigrant ideology. This paper provides clear evidence for that: "Political Biases on X before the 2025 German Federal Election" arxiv.org/abs/2503.02888

Musk breaking stuff to sell a fix? Thatโ€™s exploitation, not innovation.

Mary T. Smith (1904โ€“1995) was a prolific artist within the tradition that unfolded in the southern US after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. From the late 60s-70s, Black people came out from their houses, factories, or fields, and intensified their creation of artistic yard shows... ๐Ÿงต

30%-40% of public money given to England's care homes vanishes in profits, little left for frontline services. Almost all care homes forcibly closed between 2011 and 2023 were operated by for-profit companies. Profits and care can't be combined. Watch the Minister's reply.

Five years in the making: our meta-analysis of 10 fMRI datasets across Asia, Europe, and North America (N=2,433). We find creative ability emerges from dynamic switching between default and executive brain networks, with optimal creativity at a "sweet spot."

Mary Frith (c. 1584 โ€“ 1659), aka Moll, Cutpurse, & The Roaring Girl, was a notorious English pickpocket and fence of the London underworld. A gender non conforming bad boy, she (or maybe he!) made history breaking gender norms, taking pride in wearing masculine clothes and smoking.

This is unutterably stupid. Political donations should have been reformed YEARS ago. We don't want a knee-jerk "stop-Farage" law; we just want a democracy that isn't a corruptible plaything of the rich, whether it's Lord Sainsbury, Frank Hester or Elon Musk. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It consists of a 29 by 29 grid of characters, forming a reversible poem that can be read in different ways to form roughly 3,000 smaller rhyming poems.

Showed a glimpse of a new atlas that we're building in Paris yesterday. Pretty excited about it and implications for network modeling.
