Evidence from 14 research funding programmes confirms that early winners tend to keep winning (Matthew effect). But the idea that an early setback makes you stronger later doesn’t replicate widely. buff.ly/UEtcRd4

Check out our newest demonstrating feasabilty of sub-mm whole brain EEG-fMRI at 7T. Happy to have been part of this amazing collaboration and thank you so much to Cristina and João for leading this project 😊👍.

Is the the neuroimaging community (broadly conceived) submitting to 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 again????? Not to be publication police but the shift had seemed major 1-2 years ago. Looking at the editorial board it seems to have serious scientists once more. Curious about thoughts of the community.

When @laurapritschet.bsky.social & Pavel Shapturenka set out to build the 28&Me + 28&He datasets, I don't think any of us could've predicted the spectacularly creative ways the datasets would be used years later. That's the power of open science. 👇🏼

Normative framework of bigger tech (aka, me trolling the tech audience)

Ever wondered if your interesting brain-behavior correlation was over- or under-estimated due to head motion, but were afraid to ask? We’ve created a motion impact score for detecting spurious brain-behavior associations, now available in Nature Communications! doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Excited to share such a career milestone 🌟 Our new @pnas.org paper shows how E–I balance drives dynamic brain adaptation. Thanks to @jorgejovicich.bsky.social, @dimitrivdv.bsky.social, @asiaferrari.bsky.social, @bcassone.bsky.social & amazing co-authors 🙏 🔗 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

This was my first paper with the new @elife.bsky.social model. Have to say, while I don't agree with all the reviewers' comments the new process is awesome. We can directly reply to their concerns and it'll be obvious what changed between revisions when we upload the revised version :) 4/4

We are hiring ! 👩🏼‍🎓👨‍🎓🧑🏼‍🎓👨🏿‍🎓👩🏿‍🎓👩‍🎓 I am looking for a motivated person interested in a PhD in basic neuroscience, for a project at the edge between epilepsy and sleep. If you are interested, check the job announcement: jobs.unige.ch/www/wd_porta...

Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date. We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400. Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

Our review discussing the potential use of laminar fMRI for probing the role of cortical layers in epileptic seizure propagation and spread as well as it possible future clinical applications out in Brain (well as accepted manuscript!) academic.oup.com/brain/advanc...

Happy to see this out: our new preprint shows that laminar GE-BOLD fMRI decoding isn’t immune to vascular draining biases. Simulations reveal false positives due to multivariate signal spread across layers, but oversampling + deconvolution can (sometimes) improve specificity.

New paper🥳 🧠 In TLE, brain changes go beyond the temporal lobe & beyond normal aging. Our ENIGMA study (769 patients, 18 sites) found widespread gray & white matter decline, especially after 55. By Judy Chen and a terrific intl' team Time for earlier diagnosis & deeper research bit.ly/3HRYeQt

Interested in Epileptic Discharges? In need of a data set to validate your source reconstruction models based on clinical outcome? Check out our newest: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Big thanks to B. Vorderwülbecke, S. Vuillémoz et al. ! - @seeber.bsky.social @cibm.bsky.social

In 2019, the CNeuroMod team and 6 participants began a massive data collection journey: twice-weekly MRI scans for most of 5 years. Data collection is now complete! 1/🧵

5. It has been centuries since any one human could know everything that is known; understand everything that is understood. This is a remarkable power of science. We delegate trust and authority to experts as internally established in ways that are remarkably resilient to mistakes and malfeasance.

Thanks to all (co)authors & reviewers for their contribution to this study on #layer specific changes in #sensory #cortex across the #lifespan in #humans & #mice now out in @natneuro.nature.com Here is a short summary of our findings 1/6

Get ready for a milestone! The 20th Alpine Brain Imaging Meeting (ABIM) will take place January 11-15, 2026. We have a fantastic lineup of speakers and many special events planned, from our ski races to scientific debates on the past (& next!) 20 years of neuroimaging research. #ABIM2026

Today, our article "The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly" is finally published in PNAS. I hope that it proves to be a wake-up-call for the whole scientific community. reeserichardson.blog/2025/08/04/a...

Here's a quick blogpost about alternative publishing models. You can bring a horse to water, and indeed wave the bucket temptingly under its nose, but it is likely to gallop off elsewhere. deevybee.blogspot.com/2025/07/new-... @ec.europa.eu @wellcometrust.bsky.social

1 To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised! 🧵Thread on our new preprint with @r3rt0.bsky.social , doi.org/10.1101/2025...

In February 2024, I wrote Scientific Reports about a published meta-analysis claiming that mindfulness interventions affect neural plasticity, 'cementing the neuropsychological basis of mindfulness-based interventions'. The paper was retracted yesterday—here a little summary of the process.🧵

New layer-fMRI preprint by Clauner et al. Interleaved EEG and layer-fMRI is used to investigate feature-specific and unspecific correlates of alpha and gamma oscillations in superficial and deeper layers. doi.org/10.1101/2024...

I'm so happy someone finally compared fMRI to EEG correlations across datasets and fields strengths! The study confirms that alpha power correlates negatively with the visual and dorsal attention networks and positively with the default mode network.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

On this day 2y ago we announced our move away from the huge profits that NeuroImage makes for Elsevier. Things at Imaging Neuroscience have progressed fantastically thanks to the support for this move by the brain imaging community and @mitpress.bsky.social. 565 papers published already!

First post on an exciting new manuscript online today @natneuro.nature.com - in collab with @lucinauddin.bsky.social and Catie Chang. We take a fresh look at the physiological dynamics associated with the global signal 🧠 ... www.nature.com/articles/s41... Read here: rdcu.be/ek01F

Growing evidence that careful experimental design of ADC-fMRI yields functional information distinct from BOLD prompts the question of residual vascular sources. We thus analyzed the ADC- and BOLD-fMRI responses to non-neuronal vascular fluctuations. 🥁 Led by I. de Riedmatten & A. Spencer #FIREPATH

This new layer-fMRI manuscript combines layer-fMRI with the high temporal resolution of EEG. This study shows how laminar specific information arrives at different onset times. By Carricarte et al., doi.org/10.1101/2025...

IMO one of the solution to the reproducibility crisis in science is to stop taking scientific articles too seriously. What matters is code, data, open protocols, pre-registration. Certainly not fact the article was endorsed by a publisher, especially predatory ones like Nature Publishing Co

Yet another reason why open science initiatives are better options for universities. Right @richardgold.bsky.social ?

So, I just need to make sure my next board game is Turing complete to get around these tariffs, right?

Open source is draining. One's todo-list is open to world. People seldom realize the cost of what they get for free. Unpleasant comments do happen. Cost of maintenance is not understood. opensource.com/article/17/2...
