Are you interested in the thalamus, or are you still waiting to discover that you are (these are the only two options)? It is a great pleasure to announce our workshop on the 12-13th January 2026. uobevents.eventsair.com/emerging-tec... @thechbh.bsky.social #neuroscience

Great initiative : gofund.me/fcbed60d8 but a bit sad this sort of message needs to be promoted at the moment

New layer-fMRI preprint using simultaneous layer-fMRI with EEG at 7T. Establishing an acquisition and analysis setup to capture layer-fMRI correlates of spontaneous alpha power variations. By Marsh et al. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Sleep EEG-fMRI finally starting @thechbh.bsky.social!

Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date. We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400. Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

So this happened, it's wonderful to get local recognition for the work we put into our little shop, it's been a crazy 2025 so far and we're not done yet! #VivaStirchley #VivaBrum #ShopIndependent #MadeInBirmingham🐂

Jeff Stanley kicking off the methodology session at fMRS symposium in Bangor. @pgmm03.bsky.social

Good to see everyone is still able to maintain there attention towards the end of the first day of the fMRS symposium at Bangor Uni.

The 2nd Bangor fMRS symposium kicked off tonight, with a welcome dinner in Bwyd da Bangor. A good start I think.

Check out our latest paper.. - A simple view of the ageing effect across the full spectrum and the whole head - Spectra of effect sizes - Covariates can change effect size - Replication! We hope this facilitates synthesis of results across a rich and varied literature of age effects #neuroskyence

Our new study shows that accelerated long-term forgetting occurs more often in stroke patients than in age-matched controls. After one week, 35% showed marked forgetting despite normal recall after 30 min. Important for neuropsychological diagnostics. Open access: doi.org/10.1111/jnp....

Mildred Cohn was born 112 years ago today. In the middle of the 20th century she pioneered the use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance to probe the chemical processes governing the storage and release of energy in ATP. Here is her story! tinyurl.com/3xn9hhs2 #WomenInSTEM #ChemSky #HistSci 🧪

‘Groundbreaking’ potential cure for sickle cell in England approved for NHS use

🧠 Excited to share our new preprint! 🧠 Check it out and let us know what you think! 👀✨

The fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M. Beautiful.

Happy to have been involved with this really cool paper, and a new way to investigate fMRS data from Maria Morelli and Martin Wilson. With @martinw3141.bsky.social, @kdudzikowska.bsky.social, @ajquinn.bsky.social, and @brainapps.bsky.social

Proud to have our first fMRS study from @thechbh.bsky.social published with Maria, @kdudzikowska.bsky.social, Dinesh, @ajquinn.bsky.social, @pgmm03.bsky.social, @brainapps.bsky.social :) Looking forward to making further developments towards fMRS becoming a popular tool for measuring brain activity.

So... hey everyone. I'm Tom. I study neuronal oscillations and their role in attention and decision-making, mainly using MEG and brain stimulation in human volunteers. I'm a relatively new assistant prof at @thechbh.bsky.social, Birmingham, UK. Birmingham is a lovely place. Come visit 🙂

Thanks to a nice crowd effort, the starter pack is now much larger! So great to see a fantastic network of #MRI researchers! Share and suggest people to add here below! go.bsky.app/EVqd6pe

Let's create an #MRI researcher starter pack! There are a couple that are neuroimaging-based, but not really the method development community. I started putting together a few profiles, but please spread the word and tell me who else to add. If there is already one, let me know! go.bsky.app/EVqd6pe

Hello there! #ismrm
