Do you like RSA analysis, M/EEG and Bayes? Then you'll love Variational RSA for M/EEG, by recently completed PhD student @alexlepauvre.bsky.social from Lucia Melloni's group. It's a method and SPM toolbox for multivariate analysis of M/EEG data. arxiv.org/pdf/2511.01784 . 🧵 [1/4]

🗞️ Front page news of The Express today: @uclqsion.bsky.social scientists have developed a method for producing “ultra-fast” MRI scans, slashing the time patients need to spend in the machine from 20-30 minutes to less than 7 minutes. @imagingneuroucl.bsky.social

It was such a pleasure to chat to Andy Jahn (of Andy's Brain Book fame) about SPM25, together with Olivia Kowalczyk (@liviasimela.bsky.social) and Johan Medrano (@johmedr.bsky.social) from the SPM team

I am delighted to welcome Josie Linnell @jlinnell.bsky.social as a new PhD student in the Neurovascular Modelling Group at the FIL! Josie will investigate the earliest stages of Alzheimer's using fMRI, together with Natalie Ryan's team at the UCL Dementia Research Centre @uclqsion.bsky.social

A birthday is a good time to reflect! To mark SPM @ 30, this month's issue of Cerebral Cortex features deeply insightful commentaries on neuroimaging analysis from Ed Bullmore, Peter Bandettini, Peter Fox, Pedro Valdes-Sosa, Klaas Enno Stephan, Viktor Jirsa, et al [1/2] academic.oup.com/cercor/issue

We're marking 30 years* of SPM this year, a milestone we share with the journal Cerebral Cortex! Just out: A very nice commentary on SPM's impact by Ed Bullmore - doi.org/10.1093/cerc... ...accompanying a review by SPM's devs on what went well and what could be done better doi.org/10.1093/cerc...

And huge thanks to James Bonaiuto of @danclab.bsky.social - their fantastic laminar MEG toolbox laMEG paved the way to SPM-Python! github.com/danclab/laMEG

The beta release of SPM-Python is out now! Amazing work by Johan Medrano @johmedr.bsky.social , Yael Balbastre, Yulia Bezsudnova @ybezs.bsky.social and other members of their team. A new era for SPM! #OHBM2025

Don't miss our upcoming #SPM course for #EEG & #MEG online from 19-22 May 2025! 🧠 We'll cover preprocessing, source reconstruction, DCM & OPM analyses. Practicals will include SPM-Python! Programme: www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/docs/cou... Register by May 11th 👇 onlinestore.ucl.ac.uk/conferences-...

🎺🎺🎺 We will be hosting #MEGUKI2025 this July and hope that lots of you will be able to join us, including for the kick off day focusing on #naturalistic neuroscience. More details and info on how to submit abstracts below 👇

Excited to share a new PhD studentship, using fMRI and MEG to detect early changes in Alzheimer's disease, fully funded for a UK student by @alzheimersresearchuk.org . Situated at UCL in Queen Square, London. Join us! tinyurl.com/nvmgroupphd

Brilliant work from the FIL OPM-MEG team!

We have an opening for a 12 month Research Assistant post, funded by an ERC grant. The postholder would help with several neuroimaging projects, including MEG and 7T fMRI. Please repost and share with anyone who may be interested. www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/... #neuroskyence #Neuroimaging

Can we find the earliest adopters of SPM on Bluesky? Full marks to @jonsimons.bsky.social for SPM96!

Happy 30th birthday year to SPM!! 🎈🍰 To get the party started, we are delighted to announce SPM 25.01, a major new version of the open-source neuroimaging software. Read the preprint to discover what's new arxiv.org/pdf/2501.12081 and download SPM for free from Github github.com/spm/spm/rele...

I am so grateful to Eleanor Maguire for being such an amazing teacher and mentor. We have set up a web page for sharing memories of Eleanor, via the link below.

🌟 Rare Opportunity Alert 🌟 The Department of Imaging Neuroscience has a lectureship position available! 🎺 Lead a research programme in Cognition and Perception, and shape the future of the Institute's new BSc in Human Neuroscience. 🧠 #AcademicJobs #Neuroscience #UCL www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Out now, our new paper evaluating the suitability of common haemodynamic models for use with older participants' fMRI scans. Always a pleasure to collaborate with Rik Henson and the Cam-CAN team!
