Kohl et al. report that sensorimotor network dynamics can distinguish patients with Parkinson’s disease from controls and highlight the importance of network context of motor cortical activations. buff.ly/489DYfB #Parkinsons

Today we retired our cryogenic MEG system after 18 years of faithful service! And of course we celebrated the occasion with pizza and beer!! But the future of MEG @uniofnottingham.bsky.social is looking bright as we move to our new OPM-MEG platforms!! @cercamagnetics.bsky.social

"CamCAN 15 years on" - a new preprint reviewing all findings about the cognitive neuroscience of ageing from sharing CamCAN data, led by @rhens.bsky.social : osf.io/preprints/ps...

In an EEG study spearheaded by Marlena Baldauf, we show that 8-month-old babies’ visual systems resonate at 4Hz (theta rhythm) — unlike adults, who resonate around 10Hz (alpha). 👶🧠 echoes at 4Hz 👩‍🦰🧠 echoes at ~10Hz Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hurrah! New paper out doi.org/10.1093/brai...! We show that sensorimotor network dynamics are altered in Parkinson’s disease and highlight the importance of looking at motor cortical activity within the broader brain network context to better understand pathophysiological changes underlying PD.

📢 NEW RESEARCH The brain’s networks activate in structured cycles. Led by @matsvanes.bsky.social, a team analysed MEG data from 800+ people. The strength & speed of the cycles was influenced by genetics & associated with factors such as age. www.psych.ox.ac.uk/news/brain20... in @nature.com Neuro

New paper using M/EEG to look at attractive and repulsive serial dependence in working memory, led by the excellent Jiangang Shan, with Jasper Hajonides.

Excited to share these proceedings! The OHBM Open Science Room is a unique space to discuss, exchange ideas, and connect with others. Huge thanks to all the amazing people I met through the Open Science Special Interest Group!

Check out our latest paper.. - A simple view of the ageing effect across the full spectrum and the whole head - Spectra of effect sizes - Covariates can change effect size - Replication! We hope this facilitates synthesis of results across a rich and varied literature of age effects #neuroskyence

HOT OFF THE PRESS - Back in 2019 we started asking ourselves what could you to demonstrate where werable, OPM-MEG technology could fit into naturalistic #neuroskyence. One snag, we'd have to build the system from scratch first... Anyway its 2025, read the paper here -> doi.org/10.1162/imag...

Time to follow @ohbmofficial.bsky.social on BlueSky, you brain mappers. 🧠 bsky.app/profile/ohbm...

I really like the idea of interviews on "current status and future challenges in brain imaging". I do NOT like that 14 of 15 interviews are with men. Who is missing from this list? We have lots of amazing neuroimagers who aren't men. #neuroskyence www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Going to try to start posting more on here given the increasingly suffocating toxicity of the other place 👋

Hi #HiSciSky #AcademicSky. Nice to see some old twitter (and IRL!) friends here. Over the years I have applied neuroimaging methodology to investigate epilepsy, psychosis, dementia/ageing +. Now turning my attention to body focused repetitive behaviours (BFRBs)... after 40 years of lived experience.

`spiketools` - our new open-source Python module for analyzing single-neuron activity has a new release plus a new paper describing the project in JOSS! Paper Link: joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21... Documentation: spiketools.github.io Code Link: github.com/spiketools/s...

Multiple competition-based PhD fundings are available using OPM-MEG @thechbh.bsky.social, including BBSRC-funded mibtp (link 👇). Please email me with your CV to discuss details! warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fa...

In a new paper, we examined 11 interventions to address #climatechange beliefs and behavior (M = 59,440 in 63 countries). These findings suggest that the impact of behavioral climate interventions varies across audiences and target behaviors. Read the full paper here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

There's a quote that runs around educational YouTube. I knew the original source at one point, but I can't find it now, so just know it doesn't come originally from me, but the quote is "Overestimate your audience's intelligence, underestimate their vocabulary."

An updated version of GLM-Spectrum - now shorter and better thanks to three reviewers! very grateful for their input. In addition to clean-ups & improvements, a notable new addition is spectra of effect sizes in multivariate models. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #neuroscience #neuroimaging

FYI #neuroscience #neuroimaging Exciting developments @thechbh.bsky.social !

We did our first whole-head OPM recordings yesterday @TheCHBH (50 @FieldLineInc sensors, @CercaMagnetics MSR; @vpixx peripherals). It works! Now we need a postdoc to customize the system&software for paediatric recordings to study development of attention&reading. Apply 👇👇👇

**POSTDOC KLAXON** We are have *FOUR* postdoc positions. Come and work with myself, @danakarca.bsky.social , Petra Vertes and a host of great scientists. We'll be working on computational models of network formation, learning how early environments shape development. www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/43796/

A new vision for open and responsible publishing from the group behind Plan-S. www.coalition-s.org/towards-resp... I find a lot to like in the proposal, particularly a separation of peer review from editorial gatekeeping. Take the survey to add your voice! #neuroscience #neuroimaging
