A decade+ ago I remember proposing "partial peer review," possibly via a defunct twitter account. I'd gladly review the methods of many more papers if I could gloss over the parts I don't understand. But this possibility seems to exist only after publication atm. 3/2 😬

I think I will start believing in AI when it can fix printer problems.

Don't work in this area and can't vet claims about the study, so am curious what others think. Generally, the core argument Chris appears to make—breaking the blind is a fatal flaw for any RCT—appears similar to the argument we've made about using psychedelics for treating mental health problems.

The Department of Basic Neurosciences of UNIGE and the @nccrlanguage.bsky.social are looking for an Assistant Professor with Tenure Track or Associate Professor in Computational Neuroscience. Full details: jobs.unige.ch/www/wd_porta... #neurojob #academicjob #compneuro

Uni to students: Don't use AI bc it's important to make mistakes & fail to learn, it'll improve your long-term growth. Also uni: Do *not* fail a single class or you're out. No chances for PhD if you have to re-take an exam. No more summa cum laude if you don't get consistently exceptional grades.

The Iowa Gambling Task is an extreme example of Jingle Fallacy and schmeasurement. In 100 articles we found 244 different ways of scoring it, 177 were never reused. Correlations between them range -.99 to .99. At the same time, we show meta-analyses combine these results as if they’re equivalent.

The first part of my PhD research is out now in PNAS! See the thread below and stay tuned for my dissertation work, which builds on this cross-species model of brain network aging

The last year has been an extraordinary journey for us at @elife.bsky.social as we have been establishing a new model of publishing and taken on some of the commercial forces in publishing. We have tried to capture some of the takeaways in this editorial.

New PhD and post-doc job openings! Join me and Prof. Nina Kazanina @ Uni Geneva, Switzerland, to take part in an exciting project on relations and binding in language and vision, explored with cutting-edge neurophysiology (#iEEG and MEG). Full details in the job offer below.

For 15(!) years I’ve been teaching introductory #MRI to grad students, and struggled to find a textbook for a wide variety of backgrounds. I'm happy to share an online textbook I created, fully open source (including code for generating figures and plots shown): larsonlab.github.io/MRI-educatio...

The best brain-machine interface remains the mouth. Evolution spent 4B years of evolution on R&D developing the device, so I guess it's not that surprising. Yet it still rarely appears as a baseline in evaluations of new devices.

Nature Sci Rep publishes incoherent AI slop. eLife publishes a paper which the reviewers didn't agree with, making all the comments and responses public with thoughtful commentary. One of these journals got delisted by Web of Science for quality concerns from not doing peer review. Guess which one?

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

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.
