Come see our poster #61 at 3pm @iclr-conf.bsky.social #iclr2025 surface deep learning for generalising fMRI decoding across different human brains with @dahansimon.bsky.social @gabriben.bsky.social

Doing a demo on evaluating small language models for non-reasoning tasks (e.g. professionalize, shorten) at the amazon booth at 14:00 tomorrow at #ICLR 🇸🇬

Final chance!!!

On way to ICLR to support @dahansimon.bsky.social in presenting our work on surface vision transformers for generalisable encoding/decoding of movie stimuli from/to FMRI. Who else will be there?

Please fill this out! I would add that many (e.g. LGBTQ+) people may currently have safety concerns about travelling to the US

Very pleased to share the fMRI pipeline paper from the fetal release or the developing human connectome project, a true labour of love and incredible work from Slava Karolis #dhcp #connectome #fmri direct.mit.edu/imag/article...

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting the MultiFact Symposium on AI and MRI for Fetal Brain Development at our institute in Munich! 🧠 A fantastic gathering of experts sharing the latest advances in the field. Thanks to all who joined!

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University & academic career... 1/🧵

This detailed investigation of cortical variability in adults and neonates simply wouldn't have been possible @yrguo.bsky.social 's incredible patience and attention to detail. Cortical folding variability is considerable and outside primary folds doesn't align with functional borders.

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

Brain function fluctuates daily—but what drives these changes? direct.mit.edu/imag/article... super proud of Deniz Yilmaz and Bianca Serio and thankful for the open data of @emilyjacobs.bsky.social and Laura Pritschet 🌈👫 studying hormonal fluctuations in functional gradients ❤️‍🔥

please retweet this ad for a tenured-research position in fMRI at ultra-high. Join us!

🤩 brilliant scientists elegantly achieving clinical impact for epilepsy through neuroimaging & AI ⬇️ Huge congrats @sophieadlerwagstyl.bsky.social @konradwagstyl.bsky.social and team !

Very thankful to have played a tiny part in this study showing potential for cortical surface deep learning for epilepsy surgical planning

Very pleased to officially introduce MELD Graph, a novel AI tool for the detection of subtle focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) lesions in epilepsy patients. Check out our paper published in JAMA Neurology yesterday! 😀https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaneurology/fullarticle/2830410

Was just going to advertise another awesome summer course for people starting their labs: safelabs.info -- related to the one we are organizing compneurosci.com/Neuro4Pros/i... - if you have a new lab this is a good year.

An open letter to the President of the @royalsociety.org – time to stand up for your values. occamstypewriter.org/scurry/2025/...

🚀 Hi friends! I’m exploring new opportunities in Data Science, Healthcare, Tech Development, or Policy. Both in industry and academia! If you hear of roles where I can contribute, please keep me in mind. Referrals, advice, or intros are deeply appreciated. 🙏 Let’s connect!

So incredibly proud to announce that @dahansimon.bsky.social work on designing surface deep learning models that can generalize fMRI encoding/decoding across individuals and to unseen stimuli will be presented at #ICLR2025. I really think these can be game changing for dynamic fMRI modeling.

🗓️ Don't miss our next FIT'NG Together talk on February 4th at 11 am EST! Profs. López Bendito and Lohmann will discuss synaptic plasticity, neural circuits, network dynamics, and brain maturation, highlighting the role of spontaneous activity 🧠🐭 Register at: fitng.org/fitng-togeth...

Genius 🤣🤣🤣

2024 was the first full calendar year for Imaging Neuroscience @mitpress - 350 papers published. We're proud of how the brain imaging community enthusiastically embraced open access non-profit publishing. Our aim is to be *your* journal. Full size PDF: drive.google.com/file/d/1M170...

Mapping neuropeptide signaling in the human brain | doi.org/10.1101/2024... Neuropeptides are among the functionally diverse signaling molecules in the brain and body. @cebric.bsky.social curates an atlas of neuropeptide receptors and relates it brain function 🧩 🧠 ⤵️

Our study of genes, brains and #DYSLEXIA in over 30,000 adults from @ukbiobank.bsky.social is now published: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Brain regions especially involved in motor, language and vision functions are associated with genetic disposition to dyslexia. Thread below ⬇️ 1/8

Need cortical surface extraction which is time efficient while being more anatomically correct than classic pipelines? Try Qiang Ma's pipeline - tuned for neonatal (dHCP) but we are already using it for fetal and works on ya HCP arxiv.org/abs/2405.08783 github.com/m-qiang/dhcp...

Lolz

I thought this was the conclusion of the original BWAS paper? Either way it's both imaging pipelines (specifically driving features from population average atlases) and noisy target phenotypes

Thank you to Prof Bishop @deevybee.bsky.social for taking this important stand 👇 “Oxford scientist resigns from Royal Society over Elon Musk’s continuing fellowship” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Interested in joining the MELD Project or trying out the tools for FCD or HS detection? Come chat to us #aes2024 after the presidential symposium or at the posters! @konradwagstyl.bsky.social

While I'm recommending books (starting with my own, of course 😋), here's a thread of some others I've enjoyed recently! 📚😊

Main takeaways: Twitter makes money by keeping you online, and a reliable way to do that is to make you outraged and train you to create content that makes others outraged. As a result, we misperceive one another and spread misinformation. This is bad for democracy.

Trying my hand at a start pack, to hopefully get the convos going! Let me know if you'd like to be added, or if there are better starter packs out there on this. go.bsky.app/GRuA2a

🌟 New Research Alert! 🌟 Excited to share our latest work (accepted to NeurIPS2024) on understanding working memory in multi-task RNN models using naturalistic stimuli!: with @takuito.bsky.social and @bashivan.bsky.social #tweeprint below:

Interested in a #PhD building #AI #digitalTwins of human brain functional dynamics from cortical #fMRI and geometric #deep learning. Apply for our project from the Kings Digital Twins for Healthcare CDT. Deadline Friday 3rd Jan 2025 www.kcl.ac.uk/research/dt4...

Interesting - but where is the discussion about improving the sensitivity of the brain imaging phenotypes that we are comparing in these studies? As well as deeper phenotyping of the behavioural traits?

Great conversations with @ndosenbach.bsky.social while preparing this Nature News & Views on the new Kang et al. Ready to have the same with everyone here. Thoughts? What other practice should be investigated to help BWAS reproducibility? www.nature.com/articles/d41...
