I finally got to watch this stunningly clear explanation of transformers from the amazing Idan Blank. I agree with Ev, Idan is the best teacher I know. This lecture is a gift to the field. Thank you Idan! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGMn...

Our new paper on brain networks engaged during imagining is out now in Neuron! Here is a download link (free for 50 days): authors.elsevier.com/c/1msNE3BtfH... Congratulations to Nate Anderson for leading this work @rementurus.bsky.social 🧵

Now out in Psychological Medicine! We identified lifetime exposures to humiliation and entrapment, as well as frontoparietal-left cerebellar RSFC, as correlates of adolescent anxiety and depression symptoms across three time points. Link: doi.org/10.1017/S003...

I couldn't find a tool to plot different #neuroimaging data in one consistent style, so I made one! Meet yabplot (yet another brain plot) - a #Python package for (sub)cortex & tracts.🧠 - Simple API - Built-in atlases - Custom atlas support 🔗 github.com/teanijarv/ya... (drop a ⭐️!)

Now out in Plos Computational Biology! We identified a generalizable neural signature of emotional arousal across contexts and individuals during movie watching. work with the best team: @hayoungsong.bsky.social @Zihan Bai @monicarosenb.bsky.social @ycleong.bsky.social dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

New preprint 🎉: How do episodic memory, emotions, and schemas for caregiver experiences come together in kids’ brains and verbal recall? Check out our new results showing how past and present childhood experiences shape perception and memory for movies: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Updated preprint for those who might be interested: doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Thanks to everyone's feedback, we have updated our calculator to optimize sample size N & scan time T for fMRI studies: leonoqr.github.io/ORSP_Calcula... The first new feature is that users can explore how different N & T leads to different accuracy, e.g., N=1000 & T=30min => 81% max accuracy. 🧵

My first media post :)

PsyPost covered @lydiaquq.bsky.social's new paper linking internalizing/externalizing symptoms to distinct features! Check it out ⬇️ 🖇️https://www.psypost.org/scientists-identify-distinct-brain-patterns-linked-to-mental-health-symptoms #SciComm #Neuroscience

David is a wonderful mentor and a fantastic human being!! Many congrats :)

Interested in #MRI and #psychiatry? Our lab is hiring a research assistant (@holmeslab-bhi.bsky.social)! Please RT and share. @geneticssociety.bsky.social @ohbmofficial.bsky.social @sfnjournals.bsky.social @pgcgenetics.bsky.social @hitop-system.bsky.social @blackinneuro.bsky.social

I'm thrilled to share that my graduate school project was just published in Nature Mental Health! We found that resting-state functional network predictors are more similar within vs between categories of internalizing and externalizing behavior in children (ABCD), adolescents (HBN) and adults (HCP)
