Big data won't solve anything if it's crappy data. 😒 We need to 1) train people to inspect datasets before using them and 2) ensure that openly shared data is good data. www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/poo...

My dissertation / first RR is out now in Imaging Neuroscience! Lots of folks discuss how between-person heterogeneity may limit the utility of group-averages for brain functioning - we empirically tested that idea! doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

1000s of studies have been published mapping neuroanatomical changes in psychiatric disorders. Can we ever converge on robust disease phenotypes? Our latest PP led by Trang Cao in a huge collab effort investigates this question... @nsb-lab.bsky.social

Breath hold fMRI is great for measuring CVR... *except when your participant or patient doesn't quite perform the task the way you'd like. Let's see if we can fix that! (Spoiler, it looks like we can, using the respiratory belt data to predict or fill in missing PETCO2 data!)

ICYMI: Recent technological advances in functional MRI provide a range of new information about brain physiology. Collaboration between engineers and neuroscientists will help maximize these gains, writes Laura Lewis. www.thetransmitter.org/human-neurot...

1/3 Ever wondered how the individual cortical #ASPECTS regions routinely assessed in acute #stroke imaging are related to functional #brain #networks? We have now addressed this with an atlas correspondence analysis. See our brief report preprint at doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Coming June 2025! We are excited to launch the NIH Brain Development Cohorts (NBDC) Data Hub. This new data ecosystem will host & facilitate access to data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study & the HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study. 1/13

Many processes from industry are not appropriate or overkill for an academic setting, but we can and should be doing better than we currently are. Our paper tries to give practical advice on how you can improve your scientific workflow, without being a coding guru. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

My editorial on how journals can earn trust. We often use journal names as proxies for quality. This is bad bc it’s not valid. But it could be. Editors could make journal name a valid signal. And we could place value on journals that show us how they do that. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

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

Transparency matters when reporting results in neuroimaging! arxiv.org/abs/2504.07824 This could be a landmark in setting publishing standards for interpretability/reproducibility. Stellar work by @afni-pt.bsky.social @fmri-today.bsky.social @brightmg.bsky.social @gangchen6.bsky.social et al.

The mind craves binaries: good or bad, true or false, on or off. It’s tidy. It’s comforting. But the world rarely plays along. Reality tends to unfold in gradients, not in absolutes. And so does statistical evidence. Data analysis doesn’t speak in black and white, but in shades of uncertainty.

We tell our trainees to really LOOK at their data, every step of the way. This paper takes that wisdom even further, so future external readers really see our neuroimaging results in all their complex glory 👏 Thanks @afni-pt.bsky.social for spearheading this amazing team effort!

A brief video about the topic is now available here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpWl... It covers a few (but not all!) of the examples from the "Go Figure" draft.

The result of a large (42 authors!) collaboration: "Go Figure: Transparency in neuroscience images preserves context and clarifies interpretation" arxiv.org/abs/2504.07824 TL;DR: The FMRI world can (and should) improve results interpretation and reproducibility *today*, via transparent thresholding.

Some examples of what VoxelPrompt can do!

Recently thought about a model which takes a delineation instruction / segmentation protocol as input and provides the respective segmentation(s). Today I read VoxelPrompt. Super interesting work by Andrew Hoopes, Victor Ion Butoi, John Guttag and @adriandalca.bsky.social.

Is anyone aware of a well-curated list of organisations and foundations worldwide which contribute to research infrastructure by providing databases, repositories, standards etc. who can directly receive donations via their websites? Thinking of @cos.io as an example…. Please continue!

Thanks to everyone's feedback, we have updated our calculator to optimize sample size N & scan time T for fMRI studies: leonoqr.github.io/ORSP_Calcula... The first new feature is that users can explore how different N & T leads to different accuracy, e.g., N=1000 & T=30min => 81% max accuracy. 🧵

Delighted to have a chance to contribute my thoughts to @thetransmitter.bsky.social’s debut book! I highlight how noise in the brain could actively shape cognition & serve as a model for adaptive AI. Thank you @nicolecrust.bsky.social for including me in your piece! #neuroscience 🧠🤖

Good read for radiologists/trainees: Avoid phrases like “is seen” or “is detected” in reports—they convey a lack of confidence in your skills. Use phrases like “No CT evidence of,” to acknowledge modality constraints without casting doubt on your competence. pubs.rsna.org/doi/full/10.... #RadSky
