Investigating individual-specific topographic organization has traditionally been a resource-intensive and time-consuming process. But what if we could map visual cortex organization in thousands of brains? Here we offer the community with a toolbox that can do just that! tinyurl.com/deepretinotopy

Day 3 of OHBM BrainHack going strong (this photo is from yesterday btw, repeat today anyone?) with HackTrack, TrainTrack, StatsWorkshop, and @neurodesk.org !

“What if installing FSL or FreeSurfer didn’t take hours — or even minutes?” Come find out how we’ve made neuroimaging tools portable, fast, and accessible for everyone at the Neurodesk workshop at Brainhack 2025. #Neurodesk #Brainhack #OHBM2025 @neurodesk.org

🔁 Neurodesk helps you re-run old analyses — even years later — in exactly the same environment. This is the power of portable reproducibility. Try it out at our Brainhack workshop. #Neuroimaging #Reproducibility #Brainhack2025 @neurodesk.org

One of the exciting news for this year OHBM BrainHack is that we are bringing together like-minded events and joining up forces! @neurodesk.org will be there on June 21 for the Workshop, as well as the the 22nd with 23rd with two Hacking projects!

🧠 Join us at Brainhack 2025 in Brisbane! We’re running a Neurodesk workshop on reproducible, portable neuroimaging workflows. 📅 21 June 🌐 Learn, hack, and contribute! 💻🌏 🔗 ohbm.github.io/hackathon202... #Neurodesk #Brainhack2025 #Neuroimaging #OpenScience

🚨 BrainHack is BACK for #OHBM2025 🧠✨ In addition to the Hackathon, this year will feature two brand new workshops: how to use NeuroDesk; and how to use the latest neuroimaging statistics 📍The Precinct, Brisbane 📅June 21–23, 2025 Details in the link, sign up today! ohbm.github.io/hackathon2025/

🔍 Includes: ✅ Multi-site, multi-contrast MRI data ✅ Manually corrected segmentations of 5 key tongue muscles ✅ Phenotypic data (age, sex, height, weight, muscle volumes) This resource is perfect for researchers in imaging, ML, speech, and more!

🚨 New Open Dataset Alert! 👅 We've just published a data descriptor in Scientific Data introducing the first open, annotated MRI dataset of tongue musculature, including T1- and T2-weighted images from 47 non-neurodegenerative "healthy" participants across 3 studies! 📄 Check it out: rdcu.be/el0hW

Looking forward to be talking about this at ISMRM :) I will be there from Saturday to Tuesday and keen to talk about this and everything else Neurodesk!

Neurodesk now integrates with Siemens OpenRecon :) Bring your image processing pipeline to the MRI scanner and accelerate clinical translation. This will be presented at ISMRM 2025 on Monday, 12th of May, 10am at the Siemens Booth, 4pm at poster 1962 and at the MAGNETOM User Meeting.

For those interested in brain visualisations and open science practices refer to this amazing webinar series by the OHBM Australia community hosted by @natashaltaylor.bsky.social. Featured speakers: @sidchop.bsky.social @sinamansourl.bsky.social @sbollmann.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=RTy5...

Hi -- I have a postdoc position open in Computational MRI -- looking for experience and interest in MRI acquisition (in addition to reconstruction). Offer competitive pay. Opportunity to collaborate with Center for GenAI and Dell Med School. Bonus if you get your app in before Dec 1!

Neurodesk is now on bsky :) Follow us here to get updates and news. If you haven't heard about Neurodesk yet, have a look at our recently published Nature Methods paper introducing the project rdcu.be/dvqwU and our website, www.neurodesk.org

Thanks Neurodesk and brainlife.io! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Early days, but it looks like our authors don't think we need an impact factor either! Submissions are strong in numbers and high quality since the Clarivate/WoS announcement. We should not let a multibillion dollar company dictate how science is evaluated!

We're excited to release new versions of our BIDS-Apps for processing and analyzing #dmri data, QSIPrep and QSIRecon! Our team has been working hard to prepare these pipelines to process infant data and bring them in line with the @nipreps.bsky.social ecosystem. #neuroimaging #nipreps #bids 1/10
