This morning, Dr. Drew Weissman delivered an inspiring talk at @crchum.bsky.social, emphasizing the importance of continued curiosity and purpose. 🙏

Congratulations Dr. Niloofar Gharesi, on your brilliant McGill University PhD defence today! Thank you, Prof. John Kalaska for the collaboration with Université de Montréal. Another newly minted lab graduate on her way to do great things. Her next employer will be lucky to have her.

We are thrilled to announce that our lab has two newly minted @mcgill.ca Neuroscience PhDs: congratulations, Dr. @xiaoboliu.bsky.social and Dr. Jonathan Gallego!

Thousands of researchers. One shared mission: mapping the human brain. 🌍🧠 Join the OHBM community at OHBM 2026 in Bordeaux, France, from June 14–18, 2026. Together, we advance the science of the human brain. #OHBM2026 #OHBMCommunity #HumanBrainMapping

Today is my first day as Director, Research & Innovation and CRCHUM Research Centre @crchum.bsky.social (University of Montreal's main Research & Teaching Hospital). Also starting a new research group @umontreal.ca. Stay tuned for updates along this new collective journey!

This is a major milestone for @sylviavilleneuve.bsky.social & PREVENT-AD. Their vision & dedication have led to a series of impactful studies & high-profile publications, and the future promises insights as this unique dataset continues to grow. alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A fascinating update about how deep and fast MEG noninvasive imaging can be: differentiation b/w thalamus subnuclei, slow vs fast sleep spindles, and the talent and skills of Emily Coffey & her team. Grateful for being aboard this collaborative work. doi.org/10.1002/hbm....

New study ✨! ⍺ regulates perceptual switches during binocular rivalry: ⍺↓ before dominant percepts, ↑ before mixed percepts + PO connectivity shifts from top-down to feedforward after perceptual alternations Led by Janine Mendola @mcgill.ca, w/ E Mokri & @jasondasilvac.bsky.social

We have a newly minted ⁦‪@mcgillu‬⁩ ⁦‪@IPNMcGill‬⁩ PhD: congratulations Dr Zaida Martínez Moreno!

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

🧩🧠New release! OMEGA v3.1.1 is out—now with MEG-MRI co-registration for 480 participants 🎉 Manual alignment using original MRI+digitized head shape & fiducials. Includes BIDS-compliant landmarks+quality scores. 🔗 See “Co-registration” tab: www.mcgill.ca/bic/resource...

« the administration’s cuts to science funding in the United States could even drive up the rate of scientific fraud by leaving scientists scrambling for limited resources and dwindling jobs. » Fraudulent Scientific Papers Are Rapidly Increasing, Study Finds www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/s...

Why do our brains think and feel so differently—even when we're doing nothing at all? This study shows how our resting brain activity is partly written in our genes, especially those tied to emotion and cognition. Nature and nurture, once again, tightly interwoven.

Very proud to share this one🥹! We show that personalized signatures of brain activity are heritable and relate to the expression of specific genes. That means my brain-fingerprint is very similar to my twin brother's! #ResearchIsMeSearch🧠 🧬 ♊️

🧬🧠 Our latest study shows that individual brain dynamics are partly written in our genes. We found that heritable neurophysiological traits align with adult cortical gene expression and psychological function. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @theneuro.bsky.social @mcgill.ca

Big news, and more to come, from our lab. www.linkedin.com/posts/centre...

Best bunch!

Full 🧵 about our latest paper with @maxlevinson.bsky.social 👇

TSA is said to have begun dropping its requirement for travelers to remove shoes at airport security checkpoints. The agency has not officially announced this change and did not confirm the new policy, which appears to be taking effect at airports across the U.S.

Sensorimotor control meets visual consciousness. Our new Journal of Vision paper led by @maxlevinson.bsky.social shows that microsaccades reset visual processing & delay perceptual illusions (here, filling-in). www.neurospeed-bailletlab.org/news/zl2erl3... 🧵

It’s been an immense privilege to serve as Chair of the @ohbmofficial.bsky.social Organization for Human Brain Mapping this past year. As OHBM 2025 wraps up in Brisbane, I’m sharing a few reflections on the Society’s evolution over the past 30 years. www.neurospeed-bailletlab.org/news/closing...

What a delightful surprise to spot the @mcgillu ⁦coat of arms on one of the pillars of ⁦‪the Grand Court of the University of Queensland ‬⁩!

Feeling pumped like an OPM tonite after the closing of #OHBM2025. Thanks everyone for making it a special experience again! ⁦‪

Join us tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. at the General Assembly to share your thoughts and ideas on how to continue to grow and improve OHBM @ohbmofficial.bsky.social

Great energy in the room today for the first poster session of #ohbm2025.

"This collegial spirit must be revived in future collaborations in consciousness, and in other fields. We need more of them as a way to advance science." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

What a week! Our @nature.com paper is out, and we discussed the results with @ronyhirsch.bsky.social and Oscar Ferrante at the (brain inspired podast)[https://bsky.app/profile/thetransmitter.bsky.social/post/3loli33na7k2f]! Thanks to all the @arc-cogitate.bsky.social members for making this possible

Adversarial testing of global neuronal workspace and integrated information theories of consciousness A fascinating piece of research, done as an adversarial collaboration. To get more insights read the peer review reports (in SI) & our editorial this week 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🤔 Ever wondered what it really takes to pull off a global, preregistered, adversarial collaboration on consciousness? 🎙️ Out now @braininspired.bsky.social episode is a BTS peek into the ideas, challenges, science & team dynamics of our just-published Nature paper. 🔗 braininspired.co/podcast/211/
