🧠New preprint! What if cortical geometry alone already encodes much of white-matter organization? We introduce a subject-specific, reversible cortical folding model that unfolds and refolds the brain from a single T1w MRI; no diffusion, no ML. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🚨new work with the dream team @danakarca.bsky.social @loopyluppi.bsky.social @fatemehhadaeghi.bsky.social @stuartoldham.bsky.social @duncanastle.bsky.social We use game theory and show the brain is not optimally wired for communication and there’s more to its story: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Nice cerebellum development paper 👀 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

What are the most important aspects of a job talk for an assistant professor? 👀 Mine include: 1. Understandable to the (general) audience 2. Generate a sense of excitement 3. Clear sense of future directions Usually these things work better when there’s not too much crammed in.
