Postdoc position to work on neuroimaging methods with @fmri-today.bsky.social (and me) fim.nimh.nih.gov/positions-av...

🚨 I'm searching for a full-time research coordinator to join my group & work on precision brain 🧠 network and cognitive control projects at both 3T and 7T. Please rt 🙌 Applications due: Feb. 26 Start date: flexible, as early as June More 👇 #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

For 15(!) years I’ve been teaching introductory #MRI to grad students, and struggled to find a textbook for a wide variety of backgrounds. I'm happy to share an online textbook I created, fully open source (including code for generating figures and plots shown): larsonlab.github.io/MRI-educatio...

A new MRI protocol can scan the human brain and its venous network in under 7 minutes at 0.35 mm iso. resolution, marking it as a potential tool for diagnosing cerebrovascular diseases and monitoring neurodegeneration. scim.ag/3LkRfRY

“These findings provide clear evidence that data collected on MTurk simply cannot be trusted.”

Want to learn about FMRI visualization, processing and group analysis? Join us for the next AFNI Bootcamp (Jan. 27-29, 2026) for a fun few days of theory and interactive practicals. Details+registration for this virtual course: afni.nimh.nih.gov/bootcamp

After 25 years of living with essential tremor, one UCSF patient picked up a spoon & didn't spill a drop! With the help of Drs. Doris Wang & Leo Sugrue, focused ultrasound treatment gave him back everyday moments & confidence. #EssentialTremor Watch:

We had a collab at a scanner without video capabilities, so it was fun to reach into my music background and create a flexible paced audio experiment for fMRI finger tapping. github.com/samtorrisi/m... Let me know if you give it a shot. SC is an easy install:

FWIW: our group collects a lot of highly-accelerated fMRI at 3T and 7T; as you know the single band reference images have a ton more contrast than the accelerated data. However, I've never once needed to use them because afni_proc does so well with alignment and blip-up/down distortion correction.

Since I can’t work my day job, I’m back to my side gig. 7 handmade dichroic stained glass brains up for grabs tonight at 7pm EST at www.brainedglass.com

hey MRI-ers: 5+ mins of detail about this detail! no but srsly good to know this exists youtu.be/SPNPZJingZA?...

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

i'm collecting a super small FOV and want a lateralized fiducial marker that's not focal like a vitamin E capsule but rather like a "strip" so it'll be present despite where I place the acquisition window. ideas? dielectric pads are too thick and obviously i wouldn't want to place only 1

Fantastic dissection focused on WM tracts. quite long but there are obvious sections to skip (e.g. approx 0:00-30:00 and 1:25-1:45). i daresay it rivals Dr Lennart Heimer's video.
