Motion Insensitive Resting-State Analysis (MIRA): a new way to perform motion correction that effectively removes the confounding effect of motion on the rsfMRI derived correlation matrices! Meet me at poster F13 and at the flash talk session today at #Flux2025 to find out more about this!

New paper out 🚨 in BMC Medical Research Methodology We assessed the prevalence of transparency-related practices in epidemiological secondary analyses for the Norwegian mother, father, and child cohort (MoBa). shorturl.at/604hn

The ABCD Study 6.0 release is finally here! 🧠 Apply for data access here @theabcdstudy.bsky.social www.nbdc-datahub.org

Motion Insensitive Resting-State Analysis (MIRA): meet me at poster 1595 at #OHBM2025 to discuss a new way of performing motion correction for resting state fMRI that effectively removes the confounding effect of motion on rsfMRI derived correlation matrices!

Stoked to be attending #OHBM2025 this week with our UCSD / JCVI team! If you’re here, be sure to stop by my poster to see some cool work from our lab using GAMMs: 📅 W/Th June 25th/26th 🧠 "Nonlinear age trajectories of subcortical microstructural and morphometric changes in the ABCD study"

Meet me at #OHBM2025 poster 689 today/tomorrow to discuss using Fast and Efficient Mixed-Effects Algorithm (FEMA) for mixed-effects modeling with unstructured covariance and splines, perform longitudinal GWAS, and discover time-dependent genetic effects! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Led by the incredible @gauravbhalerao.bsky.social

Coming June 2025! We are excited to launch the NIH Brain Development Cohorts (NBDC) Data Hub. This new data ecosystem will host & facilitate access to data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study & the HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study. 1/13

Introducing FEMA-Long for high-dimensional large-scale mixed-effects modelling! Includes modelling unstructured covariance, non-linear effects using splines, time-dependent effects with spline interactions, and longitudinal GWAS with time-dependent genetic effects! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

FYI, if you want to be prepared to apply for the next ABCD Study data release, prepare for these new NIST security requirements 🧠: @ohbmofficial.bsky.social abcdstudy.org/scientists/d...

#lirpaloof Since it's already 2025-04-01 for most of the world ... a slightly updated version of the `celebrate` package: `remotes::install_github("bbolker/bbmisc/celebrate")`. (Description: Celebrate your successes and mourn your failures.) Now supports `htest` objects!

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

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...

 “people won’t take us seriously if we speak plainly about what we’re doing, so we have to smoke and mirror some fake math at them to get them to show us respect”.

When I was a young man there were whispered rumors among the elders that they could remember their own elders talking about a time when getting grants had been a means for doing science, rather than vice versa.

Are you an early career researcher at @uio.no? Next Wednesday at 1pm I’ll be running a career development workshop for UiO ECRs, in which I’ll cover how a “start-up of one” mindset can be used for navigating academic careers. For more details ⬇️

Yearly reminder that the world will not end if you don’t submit your paper or revision before the holidays. Editors are people too & need a break. The @plosbiology.org team in particular has done outstanding work this year & fully deserves it. We’re mostly off the next 2 weeks. Happy holidays!

New paper alert! Our paper 'Charting the shared genetic architecture of Alzheimer's disease, cognition, and educational attainment, and associations with brain development' is out in Neurobiology of Disease! @SFFNORMENT www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The Brain Connectivity Workshop 2025 will be held just before #OHBM2025 on the paradise that is Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) a one hour ferry ride from Brisbane Registration will open shortly (cost to be <$600 for travel registration & accomodation) so please plan your flights accordingly

Hi all! I'm looking for a short, accessible reading for 1st year UGs that covers: 1) contributors to the replication crisis(e.g., p-hacking, publication bias, researcher degrees of freedom) 2) initiatives to address it (e.g., preregistration, sharing data and code, registered reports). Any tips?

How long it takes...

Very interesting paper on confidence interval theory and misconceptions #StatsSky #Statistics
