Motion Insensitive Resting-State Analysis (MIRA): meet me at poster 1595 at #OHBM2025 to discuss a new way of performing motion correction for resting state fMRI that effectively removes the confounding effect of motion on rsfMRI derived correlation matrices!

Meet me at #OHBM2025 poster 689 today/tomorrow to discuss using Fast and Efficient Mixed-Effects Algorithm (FEMA) for mixed-effects modeling with unstructured covariance and splines, perform longitudinal GWAS, and discover time-dependent genetic effects! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Stoked to be attending #OHBM2025 this week with our UCSD / JCVI team! If you’re here, be sure to stop by my poster to see some cool work from our lab using GAMMs: 📅 W/Th June 25th/26th 🧠 "Nonlinear age trajectories of subcortical microstructural and morphometric changes in the ABCD study"

We are also raising money to support undergrads at UCSF this summer! Help me, @neuronush.bsky.social and @quexarce.bsky.social buy ice cream and pizza for our little community of undergraduate researchers! 20% of sales for the rest of the month will go towards our programs!!!

Check out our new preprint👇, work led by the incredible @parekhpravesh.bsky.social !!

This interview with the neuroscience legend Dr Eve Marder is absolutely worth your time.

Check out our new preprint on how infants respond to music over the first year of life! 👶🧠💃🎶 While neural responses are pretty much ready to go in the youngest, moving to music takes a bit longer, becoming more complex and potentially more dance-like by 12 months. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

wild to see my entire peer network in neuroscience having their funding terminated (or about to be terminated)

I'm organizing a "Data for Good Rapid Response Team", i.e. a set of people who can be mobilized to work on short data science projects to help various groups and organizations. Sign up here if this is of interest to you, and please share with others with data science skills.

The crush of new grant cancellations hasn't let up. If your grant was terminated (or your app was pulled) please use this Google Form👇 to submit details for tracking purposes. Multiple advocacy efforts are moving forward, but we must must must know more about what grants were cancelled and why.

If you have a federal grant, I *highly* recommend going to this Friday's webinar on responding to grant terminations. Lisa Brown, former general counsel at Dept of Ed, will present along with other lawyers. Friday, March 21, 2-3 pm. More info & register here: www.linkedin.com/pulse/regist...

Excited to share that dissertation work is published in Human Brain Mapping! Self-selected nostalgic music engaged the DMN, reward network, and MTL in younger and older adults. With @assalh.bsky.social, @jonaskaplan.bsky.social, Petr Janata, and Talia Ginsberg onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

It’s #BrainAwarenessWeek! Today, we're highlighting songbirds as a key model organism in #neuroscience research. These vocal learners help scientists study how the brain processes speech, learning, and memory. #KavliNeuro #BAW

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Check out our review to learn about all things joint music making! 🎶

I don’t even know how this could be presented as being in service of anything other than hindering scientific progress.

New essay on NIH and indirect costs: goodscience.substack.com/p/indirect-c...

Andy Whiten and I wrote a @science.org perspective about a cool new study from @inbalarnon.bsky.social @simonkirby.bsky.social @ellengarland.bsky.social et al! They found humpback whale song has language-like statistical structure, using methods inspired by infant language learning 🐋🎶 Links below ⬇️

You can read our new paper on modelling multiple data streams with varying dimensionality (alternately titled "What am I going to do with all these dimensions?!") if you want to. It's not even a little bit illegal.

I don't know how to prepare for the next challenging chapter of doing science in this country. I do know that supporting students is necessary. It's been the most meaningful part of my job, especially in times like these. But to do so, we need your help. crowdsurf.ucsd.edu/campaigns/su...

Very happy for my first BlueSky post to highlight our preprint! It's a great collab w @bnmorillon.bsky.social, @luc-arnal.bsky.social, Mathieu Pham Van Cang, Paul Robert. An RNN to make parallel predictions in polyphonic music shows parallelization is key for neural encoding of musical predictions.

Postdoc opening! UC San Diego’s Dep. of Psych w/ Dr. Caren Walker. The position is part of an NSF-funded collaborative project collab with myself, Igor Bascandziev, & @patrickshafto.bsky.social, examining the cognitive mechanisms of guided instruction in early elementary school STEM education.

it's wild that R, the ubiquitous statistical computing language, was co-created by a Māori prof (Ross Ihaka) — and yet the vast majority of scientists who use R don't know this is like inventing the toaster. possibly the largest impact of a single member of an indigenous community on modern science

We’re excited about our first paper looking at speech encoding in single neurons across the depth of human cortex. Out today in @nature! www.nature.com/articles/s41... [1/6]

And a second position at #SFU. A postdoc in computational #neuroscience is available with an immediate start date. You'll join the cross- disciplinary team of researchers my lab at the SFU Inst for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology. www.sfu.ca/content/dam/...
