In this video, Andy Jahn discusses the latest developments in #SPM, the latest release #SPM25 and our recent #SPM Homecoming with the wonderful @corticalpete.bsky.social, @liviasimela.bsky.social and @johmedr.bsky.social. youtu.be/VqzvUPV7pk8?...

Peter Bandettini notes SPM “catalyzed more progress towards understanding the human brain than perhaps any other discovery or methodological advance in neuroimaging”. He also urges continuous revisiting of assumptions and their validity. Excellent food for thought as our #SPM Homecoming kicks off!

Klaas Enno Stephan notes “Three decades is an unusually long period for a purely academic software to exist, enjoy enormous popularity, and stay at the top of the game”. Go #SPM, go #MethodsTeam members, past and present, from all around the world! 🧠🌏

In an associated commentary Ed Bullmore notes that #SPM “achieved scientific impact on an unprecedented scale” and “was a leader in open science before open science was a thing”. Thank you, Ed! 🤩🧠

“From mapping to explaining brain function: the generative theoretical ambition of SPM” - our article in Cerebral Cortex forms part of our 30(ish) year celebration of SPM. academic.oup.com/cercor/artic...
