The Impact of Visual Perturbations on Balance Control during Walking Visual perturbations may lead to a perception of self-motion and affect balance control. We studied effects of different visual perturbations in 16 healthy young participants walking on a treadmill, b...

Very much looking forward to the first "BabyLab Session" today!

Created from a wonderful collaboration between The Exchange @unibirmingham.bsky.social and @bbabylab.bsky.social, the series will be a wonderful opportunity for families to learn about fascinating science in a baby-friendly context.

Drumroll please... 🥁

Abstract submission for MEG-UKI 2025 is now open!!!
All the details can be found meguk.ac.uk/meg-uki-2025/

We are looking forward to welcoming you to London!

On this day 2y ago we announced our move away from the huge profits that NeuroImage makes for Elsevier.

Things at Imaging Neuroscience have progressed fantastically thanks to the support for this move by the brain imaging community and @mitpress.bsky.social. 565 papers published already!

We are delighted to announce the first OPM-FLUX toolkit to be held 9th-12th June 2025 at St. Catherine's College at University of Oxford: neuosc.com/fluxtoolkit2...

New paper out!

We studied how brain and respiratory activity are coupled in newborns. This cortico-respiratory coupling already exists in neonates through phase-amplitude coupling (or PAC) and resembles a central motor drive. The strength of this PAC relates to the number of breathing pauses.

Bloody hell, Elsevier are shunting generative AI summarisers into existing published papers. This example is from a 2021 NeuroImage paper doi.org/10.1016/j.ne....

We need to strenghten the barrier between carefully controlled, peer-reviwed work and spruious bullshit generators, not break it down!

Fantastic programme, as always! Don't miss the the poster deadline ***Monday, Feb 17***! #NCMPan25

Corticospinal Excitability in Response to Mediolateral Gait Instability Unpredictable gait disturbances, particularly in the mediolateral direction, pose a significant challenge to stability and are a common contributor to falls. Although the corticospinal tract is critic...

A collage of figures from the 350 papers published in Imaging Neuroscience in 2024.

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.
