I started writing again, hoping to write more frequently. What happens when we imagine a cow? open.substack.com/pub/abhijitc...

Using tACS? So many decisions to make (stimulation frequency/montage), but the task matters too, and could help direct tACS effects to specific brain areas. Trainee Dr. Abhijit Chinchani's excellent work is now available in pre-print form: osf.io/preprints/ps... @abhijitchinchani.bsky.social

Cognitive Modes Detectable by fMRI: A series of manuscripts from the Woodward Lab at the University of British Columbia, which detail the anatomy and function of cognitive modes detectable by fMRI. www.theurlist.com/woodward-lab...

Highly recommended reading for those conducting fMRI to investigate behaviour, if I do say so myself :) We are ready to take your calls (via the JoCN Forum) for any feedback, ideas, debate, praise, and so on.

New post by @abhijitchinchani.bsky.social, @evalab.bsky.social, and @twoodward.bsky.social: "Don’t hide the good stuff: Scientific advancement in task-based fMRI is slowed by not showing event-related BOLD (erBOLD) changes alongside anatomical patterns" doi.org/10.21428/8e6...

Seriously, neuroscientists here: why do you call "brain connectivity" what it's just correlations of some type? Using the word connectivity is misleading, since it relates to structure and no way this is correct w/o a robust assessment. You can observe this just by changing params in dynamics.

Another cognitive mode detectable by task-based fMRI: Maintaining Internal Attention (MAIN). Anatomical patterns and how its BOLD changes are affected by autobiographical event simulation, working memory, task switching, self-reference and semantic association are here: doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/mj52a
