Hi #canadian researchers - please sign this petition to help ensure funding isn’t cut to tri council agencies (NSERC, SSHRC, and CIHR). We’re looking at potential 15% cuts to ALL federal spending including grants win.newmode.net/canadianasso...

I'm so excited to finally share work that’s been a couple of years in the making! See our new paper on *social interactions in #autism*, co-authored with Isabel Dziobek, @antoniahamilton.bsky.social & @thaliawheatley.bsky.social in @autisminadulthood.bsky.social 🎉 www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1177/...

📣📣📣 Hi Everyone! I'm accepting PhD students for the Fall 2026 cycle! Our lab topics include the developmental origins and elaboration of moral cognition/prosocial behavior, persistence, and optimism. More info below!!

Looking fwd to our neural synchrony symposium today - & especially learning more from @pvrticka.bsky.social on synchrony in #fNIRS. For a preview check out an excellent 2025 review led by @saradefelice.bsky.social - join us 3pm in Hyde 1. 🧠 ⚡️ 🧠 #flux2025 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Welcome to Dublin! From winding cobblestone lanes to literary pubs and centuries of innovation, Dublin blends rich history with vibrant culture. We can’t wait for you to experience it all during Flux 2025 – excellent lineup of speakers, and our 2025 Pre-Conference Workshops, and more! #Flux2025

Hi world - its been a hard year with #cancer meaning I missed out lots of fun things. It would mean a lot if you checked out my new album of tracks. Out on all platforms including #Soundcloud (free). Let me know which tracks you like and a special prize if you work out the two levels to the project

Here is is! direct.mit.edu/opmi/article...

Excited to ✨share✨ that our paper on ✨sharing✨ is published! Across 3 studies that build on one another, we show that perceived alignment with one's peers increases the likelihood of information sharing. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We're excited to share this multi-cohort, multi-continental longitudinal effort to characterize early largescale brain network dynamics over the first 2 years of life with EEG microstates out now at @imagingneurosci.bsky.social! direct.mit.edu/imag/article...

Alert! ... for the child development world! @fluxsociety.bsky.social @fitngin.bsky.social ‪ The Healthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study has released its first data wave - it’s massive. Check here: docs.hbcdstudy.org and here: nbdc-datahub.org Here’s why it matters 🧠🍼

Very cool work!

Thrilled to announce that we received a $2.8M grant from @braincanada.bsky.social to continue our work on NeuroLibre through the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (‪@conp-pcno.bsky.social‬) 1/2

Updated version of this paper now published in Cerebral Cortex 🥳 doi.org/10.1093/cerc... @sarahhenderson.bsky.social is on a roll 🙌🏻 #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence #memory #aging

First post on an exciting new manuscript online today @natneuro.nature.com - in collab with @lucinauddin.bsky.social and Catie Chang. We take a fresh look at the physiological dynamics associated with the global signal 🧠 ... www.nature.com/articles/s41... Read here: rdcu.be/ek01F

🙌 Hot off the presses @natcomms.nature.com! We created a custom #Minecraft environment to study a long-standing puzzle in cognitive science: How do humans flexibly adapt their individual and social learning strategies in dynamic, realistic situations? Check it out 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵👇

Very cool. We've been thinking a lot about adversity and social cognition lately. Can't wait to dive into this.

Grad student applicants from the US: University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada) has re-opened applications for Master's and PhD programs (e.g., biomed engineering, genetics). Info sessions Apr. 15th w/ current US students: www.grad.ubc.ca/us-applicant... Stable, awesome environment!!

Very cool!

It's finally here! Use the Network Correspondence Toolbox to help contextualize your neuroimaging findings 🧠

Our brains use basic ‘building blocks’ of information to keep track of how people interact, enabling us to navigate complex social interactions, finds a new study led by @uclpals.bsky.social researchers.

New paper out at @naturehumbehav.bsky.social! This is the most comprehensive investigation ever conducted into how people think about relationships: a true tour de force! We identify 5 dimensions and 3 categories that organize relationship concepts. Proud to have made a (small) contribution to it!

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n

new preprint on Theory of Mind in LLMs, a topic I know a lot of people care about (I care. I'm part of people): "Re-evaluating Theory of Mind evaluation in large language models" (by Hu* @jennhu.bsky.social , Sosa, and me) link: arxiv.org/pdf/2502.21098

We are organizing a Neuroimaging Summer School with the @cervo-ulaval.bsky.social in Quebec and @ibroorg.bsky.social. LATAM graduate students will have all expenses paid. More info at the site and here [email protected] Calls will close April 20. q2summerschool.com ibro.org/training-opp...

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. 🧵

Unintended bias in the pursuit of collinearity solutions in fMRI analysis - Amazing work by @jeanette-mumford.bsky.social and @demidenko.bsky.social and many thanks to all of our collaborators! If you are using the monetary incentive delay (MID) task you should definitely read this.

📢📢📢 I am very excited to share this new study from the lab! Leveraging large-scale neuropixel recordings across cortex and thalamus, we show how motor circuits do sensory planning and how this improves reaching.

I'll be teaching a grad-level intro course on executive function (EF) in the spring. This time, I want to spend 3-4 wks covering newer approaches to/conceptions of EF. I know some candidate articles, but I thought I'd ask for your help. It'd be great if you reply w/ links to your suggested papers.

The unbearable slowness of being: Why do we live at 10 bits/s? What neural substrate sets this speed limit on the pace of our existence? Why does the brain need billions of neurons to process 10 bits/s? Why can we only think about one thing at a time? www.cell.com/neuron/abstr...

It is unfortunate how little we know about women’s brain and cognitive aging and the effects of menopause. Help us understand: 🧠 why some 🚺 experience memory difficulties during menopause 🧠 why 2/3 of Alzheimer’s cases are diagnosed in 🚺 Participate in the BHAMM study! Please share this post.

Excited about this new paper using Multi-dimensional Experience Sampling to identify differences in thoughts between autistic and non-autistic individuals. This study was led by the awesome Will Strawson (not here yet) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited about this new paper in Elife where we show for the first time resting state patterns contain information about a participants states (e.g. their thoughts) as well as traits (e.g. personality). Led by the awesome @hardigirl.bsky.social postdoc in THINC Lab elifesciences.org/articles/93689

A well deserved tribute for a wonderful scientist and person. Congrats, @action-brain.bsky.social

High-level cognition associated with flexible and compressible patterns of brain activity

Are you tempted to orthogonalize the regressors in your fMRI model? @jeanette-mumford.bsky.social tells you why this is almost never a good idea, and is likely to wreck the interpretation of your model. mumfordbrainstats.tumblr.com/post/1337933...

We’re here! Now what? 🧠https://www.thetransmitter.org/community/huge-influx-of-neuroscientists-migrates-to-bluesky/

#fnirs friends, this looks very cool! Can't wait to dive in.

Process matters!
