The layer-fMRI field has changed since the pandemic: -> studies are larger -> majority uses 3D readouts -> a bit more sharing -> majority uses non-BOLD contrasts

Dr. Seiji Ogawa discovered and coined "Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent" BOLD contrast - used in almost all fMRI today. It was my great honor to interview him over two days on the very beginnings of fMRI, and so much more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gBK...

I am always a bit suspicious of people giving advice on social media (how to write a paper, give an interview,…). If it works for them, fine. It may not work for you. My only advice is: don’t listen to advice. Including this one, of course.

Fascinating: mesoscopic vessels remain consistently visible across different T2*-weighted acquisitions! Here’s the same living human brain imaged 6 months apart using different parameters. Which image is your favorite?

While fine-tuning 3D EPI parameters, we captured an impressively clear view of the human LGN! If you look closely, you can almost make out faint layers—wish they were more distinct though 🫤

3D EPI has come so far! Here’s a whole-brain, 0.35 mm isotropic image we recently acquired, in under 7 minutes!!! So many potential applications (and analysis challenges) ahead... 🤯
