🎧 OHBM Podcast Neurosalience — S6, Ep 3 is out now! Philosophy, deep sampling & the advancing tide of AI Host Peter Bandettini talks with Kendrick Kay on how AI is shaping neuroscience. Listen now!

Paper by @frosas.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As we chase whole-brain signatures of cognition with fMRI, this fascinating perspective argues that cognitive signals are broadly distributed...but far from everywhere! For those of us using whole-brain neuroimaging lots to think about.. 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We're kicking off Season 6 (!!) of #Neurosalience! This week, we have a chat between Peter Bandettini @fmri-today.bsky.social our new podcast team lead Xuqian Michelle Li, looking back at the past season, as well as preview what's to come! YouTube: youtu.be/qFcqCkNWTUE Spotify: bit.ly/4qCiaZ4

One of the more provocative and important articles I've read in a while: A call for a "map" of neuroscience understanding and relationships between domains. apertureneuro.org/article/1388...

A new season of OHBM Neurosalience has started. Here's our kickoff episode where I talk with Lead Producer, Michelle Li about highlights from the past season, reaching our 100th episode, the controversial DIANA paper from last year, and what to expect. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFcq...

Alam et al. develop a canonical time-series feature set for characterizing biologically informative dynamical patterns in fMRI: doi.org/10.52294/001... @bendfulcher.bsky.social @fmri-today.bsky.social @mallarchak.bsky.social @ohbmofficial.bsky.social

Excited to share our News&Views on Kamitani Lab's NatComputSci paper! Their neural code converter enables transformation of brain activity patterns across individuals, and it doesn't need shared stimuli or connectivity information! www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Wrapping up our fifth season of OHBM Neurosalience with a live audience podcast at OHBM discussing diverse academic experiences from graduate student to professor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCEo...

All of these measures are opportunities to further inform analyses of the fMRI signal.

Merchant et al. perform a meta-analytic investigation of neurocognitive systems involved in real-time social interaction doi.org/10.52294/001... @fmri-today.bsky.social @mallarchak.bsky.social @ohbmofficial.bsky.social

Thanks @fmri-today.bsky.social for the interview! I really enjoyed sharing my work on your podcast.

A new #Neurosalience episode is out! 🧠 The hippocampus, aging, memory and discovery with Rosanna Olsen and Peter Bandettini @rosannaolsen.bsky.social @fmri-today.bsky.social youtu.be/cvPjImt9iv8

It was an honor to be asked to share my thoughts on this! Here's my entire powerpoint for those interested. docs.google.com/presentation...

Thanks for sharing this slide! Here is the ppt of my entire talk if anyone is interested. It was fun to present something different at OHBM! docs.google.com/presentation...

If you want to add something fun to your experience at OHBM in Brisbane, take part in this competition! All invited! We are judging more on the skill in presenting and communicating and less on the content.

Zhang and Tremblay investigate age-related changes in resting-state functional connectivity among amateur singers, instrumentalists, and active controls: doi.org/10.52294/001... @fmri-today.bsky.social @mallarchak.bsky.social @ohbmofficial.bsky.social

Analog computing with waves works—and it's vastly more energy-efficient than digital. Here, it's done with light, but all waves apply. Biology exploits useful things. Our brains constantly generate electric field waves. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I'm pleased to report that the board has now heard from NIH that the appointments of these three investigators and similarly situated folks are being extended. Thank you NIH! Delighted that the stellar work there will be continuing!

Thanks @sadaghiani.bsky.social! I really enjoyed this conversation! The novel insights and promising directions discussed here were particularly exciting!

Thank you to my collaborators for making this study possible! A great example of the power of teamwork in cognitive neuroscience research. @Victoria Gobo, @Shruti Japee @elimerriam.bsky.social @Benjamin Osborne @fmri-today.bsky.social @Tina Liu Would love to hear your thoughts or questions!

Thanks Ravi! It really was special to be able to have this conversation with him. Thanks for getting us in touch! My questions start from a sincere curiosity and respect for the guests' stories as well as their ideas and contributions - and the context from which they emerged.

To help you expand your brain mapping network here on Bluesky, we have initialized an OHBM Neurosalience Podcast starter pack! 🧠🦋 Please feel free to comment if we've missed you or others out. Listen to the Neurosalience podcast here: open.spotify.com/show/1d5umtP... go.bsky.app/7gDbeAm

The is particularly true in the area of precision medicine, where models trained in homogeneous populations largely fail to generalize to diverse samples. Eg work by @bttyeo.bsky.social and others. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The brain’s action-mode network — a Perspective by Nico U. F. Dosenbach, Marcus E. Raichle & Evan M. Gordon @ndosenbach.bsky.social @gordonneuro.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This paper is an excellent reminder that the brain works across space and time and that we can appreciate both, even with fMRI data.

Voets et al. outline best practice recommendations from the OHBM Working Group on clinical language fMRI mapping: doi.org/10.52294/001... @cyrilrpernet.bsky.social @lindadouw.bsky.social @nichols.bsky.social @fmri-today.bsky.social @mallarchak.bsky.social @ohbmofficial.bsky.social

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...

A new Neurosalience episode is out! Pulsations Matter: Imaging Glymphatic System using MREG with @fmri-today.bsky.social and Vesa Kiviniemi youtu.be/I1o1SM-R5n4

I had a great discussion with Vesa Kiviniemi, from Oulu University. He described his latest work using high speed whole brain acquisition (MREG) to characterize brain pulsations - and perhaps hints of the glymphatic system. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

Rather than a typical neurosalience Podcast, we decided to post a talk I gave at OHBM on my perspective on podcasting and Neurosalience - and how I prepare for each. creators.spotify.com/pod/show/ohb...

ISMRM Ultra-High Field / fMRI workshop in Annapolis, March 31'st to April 2'nd. The website is still being populated but so far looks exciting. Abstract deadline is January 10th. www.ismrm.org/workshops/20...

Xu and Ribeiro et al. introduce VesselBoost, a toolbox that segments small vessels in magnetic resonance angiography data doi.org/10.52294/001... @fmri-today.bsky.social

I wrote about the National Institutes of Health and the various serious and unserious proposals for NIH reform that have been floating around. It is important to understand how this agency actually functions and point criticism at the right problems. A short 🧵:

The Center for Multimodal Neuroimaging (CMN) and the FMRIF are hosting a workshop September 4-5 on “Insights Into Cognitive And Neural Function Through Eye Tracking”. The hybrid workshop will be streamed on zoom, info: cmn.nimh.nih.gov/cmnworkshop2... #eyetracking #neuroscience #cognition

Here's a list of multi-echo fMRI content at #OHBM2024. I've been helping put this list together for 5 years and this is the most yet, with a clear growth beyond methods development into people using fMRI for their research. If you see anything missing, let me know. github.com/ME-ICA/ohbm-...

Video of the live OHBM Neurosalience at #OHBM2024. Great discussion with Janaina Mourao-Miranda, Simon Eickhoff, Sepideh Sadaghiani, Thomas Yeo, and Michael Milham on Big Questions in Neuroimaging: Clinical Apps, Exciting developments, Brain mech insights www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsI8...

Now that #OHBM2024 has passed, you can view all of the full abstracts in 6 large supplementary "papers" of Aperture Neuro! First of 6 is here. apertureneuro.org/article/1203...

OHBM 2024 Preview with Sofie Valk, Kevin Sitek, and Hae-Jeong Park on OHBM Neurosalience! podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ohb...

An insightful debrief and highlight summary of the recent 2024 International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) meeting from physicists who straddle methods and brain mapping applications! podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ohb...

The most interesting result I saw from #ISMRM24. Pretty convincing maps of brain conductivity changes with activation - highlighting white matter tracts. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

The transmitter published a story coincident with two papers, one which I was part of, suggesting the original DIANA results are either not there or, if there, not neuronal. www.thetransmitter.org/brain-imagin...

On the latest Neurosalience episode: a great conversation with Gang Chen - the master fMRI statistician who wants to minimize "data waste." There's more there! podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ohb...

Brain and mind researchers of all types: I hope you'll join this conversation at Cognitive Computational Neuroscience (August 6-9, Boston). I'm envisioning a community-centered conversation unlike any I've seen before; because it's unusual, I unpack it here: www.nicolerust.com/grandplan
