Integrating and interpreting brain maps |

Do you censor high motion frames in fMRI? In two preprints by

@mandymejia.bsky.social
, we find that we may be censoring too much!
doi.org/10.64898/202...

Strict censoring leads to worse personalized TMS targets than no censoring, even with high motion!

📢 New preprint from the lab🧠 ▶️doi.org/10.64898/2026.03.12.710517 What does fMRI connectivity actually reflect at the neural level? The natural intuition is: more neural activity = more connectivity! Using cortical perturbations we show this is not necessarily the case: sometimes less is more! 👇🧵

fMRI connectivity is dominated by recurring high-amplitude BOLD events (CAPs, QPPs) But what originates these events? Many think neuromodulation is the culprit. Our new work offers a simpler take: cortico-cortical dynamics alone can generate CAP-like events!
