We wrote an article explaining why you shouldn't put several variables into a regression model and report which are statistically significant - even as exploratory research. bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/4/1/.... How did we do?

🎊Ain’t no party like a thesis submission party🎊 Honored to have submitted my PhD as a recipient of the Paulette Isabel Jones Career Development Award from The University of Sydney! Thank you x1000000 to MVP supervisor @bendfulcher.bsky.social & co-supervisor @macshine.bsky.social 😊

This is what happens to successful authors. Caveat emptor. Something similar happened (on much smaller scale) w/ one of my books. Amazon did nothing. Then a journalist reported on it. Amazon took down offending title. I hope someone will report on this happening (much more blatantly) to Eric!

💤🧠🧪 New article! 🧪🧠💤 After years of effort led by @qualiastructure.bsky.social (Nao Tsuchiya and William Wong), Jenny Windt, Katja Valli, Valdas Noreika and @rherzoga.bsky.social, the Dream database is now published in @natcomms.nature.com **A dream EEG and mentation database** rdcu.be/eAwni

Preprint⭐ Our attention changes over time and differs across contexts—which is reflected in the brain🧠 Fitting a dynamical systems model to fMRI data, we find that the geometry of neural dynamics along the attractor landscape reflects such changes in attention! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I've been thinking a lot about the preprint in terms of my own career. I grew up academically in computational labs. My papers were abstract early on and they only got more abstract as I progressed. The model was: find a new exciting mathematical tool. Apply it to brain imaging data. Write it up. 1/

and: "but somehow power and control over vital issues – what is peer review, what is a journal, what gets published – have been ceded to organizations beyond the scientific community, like Web of Science and Scopus. This is not healthy for science or the scientific community."

This is unfortunate: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/u... I wrote to the president of Harvard. I hope other faculty will speak their conscience, even if it means more struggle ahead.

#OHBM2025 was a blast -- the perfect way to celebrate submitting my PhD thesis with y'all 🎉 It was an honor (and so fun!) to represent the Aussie imaging community alongside a fab panel in the LOC Symposium, sharing my final thesis work on homotopic connectivity: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🧠✨Giving a keynote at #OHBM2025 has been one of the greatest honors of my career! Deeply grateful to this outstanding community for its openness, curiosity & for welcoming outsiders like me with such warmth and generosity💙 I’ll carry the memories of this experience with me for a long, long time!

Out today in @nature.com: we show that individual neurons have diverse tuning to a decision variable computed by the entire population, revealing a unifying geometric principle for the encoding of sensory and dynamic cognitive variables. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Some great talks showcasing the neuroimaging work done by the locals at the LOC symposium! @ohbmofficial.bsky.social #OHBM. #OHBM2025

New preprint! Why are long-range connectomic interactions in the cortex dominant in shaping dynamics in some experiments but apparently negligible in others? We (w/ R Maran, @elimuller.bsky.social) address this question by studying a new hybrid model of cortical dynamics. arxiv.org/abs/2506.19800

Hi everyone and welcome to the homepage of the Neural Systems and Behaviour Lab! We are led be @alexfornito.bsky.social and are based at @monashuniversity.bsky.social in lovely Melbourne, Australia. We play with brains, networks, genes, models, cognition & disorders. Follow for more!

Biology consumes energy at the microscale to power functions across all scales: From proteins and cells to entire populations of animals. Led by @qiweiyu.bsky.social‬ and @mleighton.bsky.social‬, we study how coarse-graining can help to bridge this gap 👇🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2506.01909
