Datasets like NSD & THINGS offer rich stimuli but often test a single task. After great conversations at #CCN2025 on multi-task studies & generalization in brains & models, I thought I would repost our perspective for those interested in this topic. We need multiple tasks!👉 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Don’t miss our upcoming CCN satellite event, Applying Computational Models to Clinical Disorders (August 11th). This session will showcase how computational methods are transforming our understanding and treatment of sensory disorders dlwiki.nin.nl/ccn_2025 #CCN2025 #CompNeuro #VisionScience

#Newpaper showing that contextual responses drive a unique laminar signature in human V1. Using line-scanning #fMRI at #7T, we show how stimulus-driven and contextual inputs target distinct layers. Contextual input targeted superficial and deep cortical depths. 🧪 🧠 www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

New paper from the amazing Emma Brouwer: humble, group-optimized B1+ shims at 7T can boost or destroy signal where it matters—no subject-specific calibration needed. in MRM doi.org/10.1002/mrm.... @spinozacentre.bsky.social🎓🧠 #MRI #fMRI #Neuroimaging #7T

Registration Open! FSL Course 2025 will be held fully online, 15th – 26th September. Details & registration info here: open.win.ox.ac.uk/pages/fslcou... The course covers lectures & hands-on practicals on structural, functional, diffusion and resting state brain image analysis.

A great position opening at NeuroSpin— with access to the world’s strongest human MRI, the Iseult 11.7 Tesla magnet!

An open letter supporting the international bachelor’s psychology programs threatened for cuts. Proceeding with these cuts would damage some of the most important and impactful psychology departments globally. #supportdutchpsychology openletter.earth/against-lang...

With a heavy heart, postponing my USA travels due to the current political situation. Still deeply value and support USA science, the brilliant researchers and their important work. I will miss my colleagues and hope to reunite when times change. Science transcends borders, even when we cannot. 🧪 🌎

Statistical power depends on number of participants AND number of datapoints per participant. This simple point is so often forgotten, especially in #neuroimaging. 🧪🧠 See also: doi.org/10.1037/met0...

Excellent tutorial on fitting voxel-wise encoding models to #fMRI data by Dupré La Tour & @gallantlab.org! Check out their step by step walk through! Paper: osf.io/preprints/ps... Code: github.com/gallantlab/v...

Can understanding the brain bring meaningful changes to society? Exciting collaboration between artists and scientists, including Maartje de Jong from @spinozacentre.bsky.social and @nin-knaw.bsky.social neuro-narratives.com

How can art and neuroscience help us reflect on our own perception and experience of the world? To explore that question, NeuroNarratives has paired eight neuroscientists and artists together so they can create thought-provoking artworks that will be presented in the centre of Amsterdam in 2026.

New #preprint! Proud to be part of this great study led by @jadynpark.bsky.social & @ycleong.bsky.social linking emotional arousal to enhanced memory encoding—using graph-based measures of large-scale brain dynamics.👇

Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, alters perception and induces hallucinations. In this preprint, we show through visual illusions, fMRI and modeling that psilocybin affects contextual computations, a potentially general mechanism of psychedelics. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A real pleasure to work with the guidance of @dumoulin.bsky.social , Maartje and Jelle! Excited to see how we can apply this in patient populations going forward

The contrast sensitivity function (CSF) is used to characterize visual perception in research and ophthalmology. Here, we introduce a method to estimate its neural equivalent (nCSF). Our nCSF model captures systematic differences in the visual cortex. #neuroskyence 🧠🧪

Extremely proud to see our (@carlienroelofzen.bsky.social & myself) work published! Here we explore how the contrast sensitivity function can be measured, using fMRI! We are able to see effects of eccentricity and polar angle on CS doi.org/10.1162/imag... #VisionScience
