A method for capturing neuronal activity using fMRI excited the neuroimaging field but couldn’t be replicated. Today, the authors of the original paper retracted their work. By @callimcflurry.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/retraction/a...

New Open dataset alert: 🧠 Introducing "Spacetop" – a massive multimodal fMRI dataset that bridges naturalistic and experimental neuroscience! N = 101 x 6 hours each = 606 functional iso-hours combining movies, pain, faces, theory-of-mind and other cognitive tasks! 🧵below

Happy to see this out: our new preprint shows that laminar GE-BOLD fMRI decoding isn’t immune to vascular draining biases. Simulations reveal false positives due to multivariate signal spread across layers, but oversampling + deconvolution can (sometimes) improve specificity.

New layer-fMRI preprint looking at laminar response differences of across (very) early development in newborns. Exciting new directions in the field. By Moore et al. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

The Minnesota ultra-high-field meeting will again offer the popular hands-on layer-fMRI analysis pre-workshop on practical aspects. October 13th-14th 2025. Registration: sites.google.com/umn.edu/2025...

Next week there is going to be an exciting virtual workshop from the ISMRM brain function group: Studying Brain Function in Fetuses, Newborns and Infants. Next Wednesday. Zoom link in the QR code

If you are in Paris on October 1-3 : we are organizing a fantastic cognitive neuroscience conference at Collège de France, on topics ranging from language to math, education and consciousness, with many of my favorite scientists ! Full program here: www.unicog.org/seeing-the-m...

I've always wanted to explore fMRI time series as a smooth, real-time movie. Now I can with LayNii IDA. Plus, with voxel-wise correlations on the fly. Fast, intuitive, and surprisingly insightful. 40 ms TR fMRI data from @practicalfmri.bsky.social ! @layerfmri.bsky.social @afni-pt.bsky.social

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...

Who doesn't like a good model of the brain? Yet, from simple regression to neural nets, some limitations keep popping up (e.g., overfitting) @mjwolff.bsky.social & I saw some cool but puzzling data, ran a quick analysis & found one such limitation: model mimicry. Now in #naturecommunications &🧵below

New Layer-fMRI paper. Heij et al. use line-scanning in V1 and find that the laminar fMRI response is different based on the context of the stimulus. doi.org/10.1016/j.is...

In this blog post I am exploring the strange tension between rigor, reach, and recognition in modern science. What we gain (and lose) by just publishing the PDFs: thingsonthings.org/just-publish...

What are the organizing dimensions of language processing? We show that voxel responses during comprehension are organized along 2 main axes: processing difficulty & meaning abstractness—revealing an interpretable, topographic representational basis for language processing shared across individuals

New in LayNii v2.9.0: Introducing *LayNii IDA*, a high-performance tool for real-time interaction with ultra–high resolution MRI data. Built for speed, designed for discovery. Still early, but a big step toward the next era of 7T fMRI: higher resolution, larger datasets. github.com/layerfMRI/La...

(1/9)Thrilled to share our new preprint🧠Using 7T fMRI, we report the presence of face-, color- and word-specific patches in the human #orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), which form continuous functional gradients with VOTC patches.

Taking full advantage of new advances in brain imaging technology will require more collaboration between engineers and neuroscientists, writes @lauradata.bsky.social in the latest for our human neurotechnology series. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/human-neurot...

Thanks @colinhales.bsky.social for these kind words, we hope our little podcast is educational about what science is, and what it could be.

Please spread the word!! We are accepting applications for the Cold Spring Harbor Asia Computational and Cognitive Summer School in Suzhou, China. Dates: June 29 to July 20 of 2025. Application deadline: March 31. #computationalneuroscience. For the top three reasons to attend, see thread below:

DeepPrep is a preprocessing pipeline for functional and structural MRI data from human subjects. Deep learning-based modules and an efficient workflow allow DeepPrep to handle large datasets. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Are short-term memories just noisier versions of what we perceive? Are they fundamentally different? We (Chaipat Chunharas, @mjwolff.bsky.social, @meikehettwer.bsky.social and myself) delved into this in a paper out now in #elife: elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre.... For a quick summary, a 🧵 below:

New Layer-fMRI paper: T1234. A sequence that gets structural reference data, in 3-4 minutes. While also being optimized for applications in layer-fMRI studies. doi.org/10.1002/mrm.... Here a the MRM highlights video with practical tricks: youtu.be/9GBP9i1V3c4 By Kenny at al.

🚨 New lab paper!🚨 A dream study of mine for nearly 20 yrs not possible until now thanks to NIH 🧠 funding & 1st-author lead @seeber.bsky.social We tracked hippocampal activity as people walked memory-guided paths & imagined them again. Did brain patterns reappear?🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Fantastic work from the group of Wim Vanduffel! Super fast face-selective neurons in the prefrontal cortex, suggesting that we need to rethink how 'high-level' the encoding in PFC is. At least it gets a strong transient input, so has to be considered as part of the feedforward processing stream.

My bike tire broke twice on my way to work. The Parisian roads are not that good, but luckily there are lots of bike stores on my way 😅

Started my first day at the CENIR platform of ICM. Looking forward to working on the Terra.X.

Réenchanter les mathématiques à l'école ! Ce cycle de conférences du Collège de France @collegedefrance.bsky.social, ouvert à tous, est organisé dans le cadre de son initiative "Agir pour l'éducation". Il sera diffusé en direct. Merci de nous aider à diffuser l'affiche ci-jointe.

Segmenting the CSF boundary for layer fMRI almost like drawing pixel arts…
