The feature we all have been waiting for, thanks @paperpile.com

Once you get past the first 5 minutes of me bumbling around clearly in need of media training, we settle into a nice groove talking about fitting mechanistic models, ML/AI for neuroscience, underconstrainedness vs. degeneracy, and its potential benefits for biology (plus some good chuckles).

Feeling validated.

Then join us in Prague, Czechia for this year’s summer school ‘Advanced Scientific Programming in Python’. 🧑‍🔬🧑‍💻🧑‍🏫 30st August–06th September 2026. #aspp2026 Apply now: aspp.school

Introducing CorText: a framework that fuses brain data directly into a large language model, allowing for interactive neural readout using natural language. tl;dr: you can now chat with a brain scan 🧠💬 1/n

What if we did a single run and declared victory

Tout juste sortis de l'imprimerie. En librairie le 24 octobre. Très hâte !

I’m elated to share our latest publication - out now in @natmentalhealth.nature.com! www.nature.com/articles/s44... - tour de force by @leahbanellis.bsky.social @brainandstomach.bsky.social and the rest of the VMP team!

Alert! ... for the child development world! @fluxsociety.bsky.social @fitngin.bsky.social ‪ The Healthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study has released its first data wave - it’s massive. Check here: docs.hbcdstudy.org and here: nbdc-datahub.org Here’s why it matters 🧠🍼

Watch out for this individual. Rumour has it, they’re really good at explaining contrastive learning. #ohbm2025

What’s with folks getting in touch with me asking for a PhD? Does h-index of 2 scream "tenure" or what?

⭐ Speaker Spotlight: Lucina Uddin 🗓️ June 27 | 🕔 17:15 – 18:00 Join us at OHBM 2025 for a presentation by Lucina Uddin! See more information about Lucina in the comments. #OHBM2025

🚨Our Brain & AI team at Meta opens a new contingent worker position in US (or UK). If you have solid Python experience and/or a background in neuroimaging, you can apply at tinyurl.com/58cdam26 (We also have 1 postdoc and 1 research engineer position in Paris here: tinyurl.com/4mxn6ydb)

In the year of our Lord 2025... we are still putting on makeup on women without their consent. It's truly like feminism never happened 🙅‍♀️ (I have been ranting about this ever since people started using it to demonstrate GANs back in the 2010s, I can't believe it's still an "acceptable" task in AI!)

What is better than CEBRA? You got it: explainable CEBRA.

An MRI AI engineer job be like: - You’ve deployed cutting-edge AI models for 5 years. - No experience with medical imaging required. Aaaaaaaalrighty.

P for priorities

I increasingly worry that tech is building the ideal 1984-style propaganda + surveillance machine The risk is the collapse of democracy, as the elite concentrates too much control power, making it counter-powers impossible. Democracy needs counter-powers, including activists.

Inria is opening a Junior Professor Position (tenure track) at Saclay on the topic of Cognitive Computational Neuroscience. This junior professorship is part of the development of computational cognitive neuroscience within @univparissaclay.bsky.social #Neurospin @neuropsi.bsky.social and #inria

I don’t know who needs to hear this but your PhD doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be finished.

I have finally become someone I despise: Reviewer 2.

Reviewer: paper is too long Same reviewer: please add 50 more analyses I requested

A daily reminder that it’s ok to be ordinary.

Study human brain structure and function with our new open access 7T MRI dataset led by superstar scientist @donnagift.bsky.social ↙️

Anyone knows what this is about? ABCD "under review for potential modification"

It's finally here! Use the Network Correspondence Toolbox to help contextualize your neuroimaging findings 🧠

This is the LLM research we need.

I think I've become allergic to the word "revolutionize".

Just. Buy. European.

The main take for me from the #hellotomorrow summit: given solutions A, which prioritizes sustainability, and B, which guarantees more profit than A, investors will always go for B.

Shot in the dark, are there any neuroscientists who also do/are interested in improv? (followup: will any of them be going to OHBM?) I have silly ideas, but I can't do them alone. @ohbmofficial.bsky.social @ohbm-com.com @ohbmbrainart.bsky.social @ohbmtrainees.bsky.social

We're super excited to introduce the Academia Hub! A game-changer for school, university, courses, research, projects, collaborations, publications. Learn more: huggingface.co/docs/hub/aca... It's a per-school offer, not individual => your faculty/admin have to apply Go schools, go universities!

Barring any last minute change, the 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada are going into effect tomorrow What should these countries (and, tomorrow, the European Union) do? 🧵

We're excited to announce version 1.2.0 of CuBIDS, a Python library for organizing BIDS datasets.

Most of what we know about health and disease centers on the male body. This 2016 NIH policy was a huge win for those of us that want the scientific body of knowledge to serve, well, all bodies.

I think I lost the wisdom I had when I was a child. As a kid I’d never accept more work (”opportunities“) as a reward for good work. As adults, how do we fool ourselves into thinking that success entitles us to more work instead of more fun?

The guys who dream of delegating strategic decision making to AI: why? Is your aim to eliminate all fun? Uncertainty can be scary but it can also be exciting. One day you’ll wake up and find yourself in a deterministic prison of your own making.
