An MR physicist based in Toronto. Trying to enhance fMRI sensitivity by efficient acquisition (spirals), recon & noise characterization (field+physiological).
We wrote a blog post about common misconceptions of basic EPI parameters.

This is amazing, thank you so much, @layerfmri.bsky.social and team - super helpful, esp. Fig 6&7! After 5 years, I still get puzzled by the way bandwidth and echo spacing/readout time are linked on Siemens. Maybe itβs Philips nostalgia or too much spiral acquisition - where every sample matters ;-)

Und das schlieΓt noch nicht den extra Aufwand ein, alles umzubuchen, die alte Reservierung nach der Reise erstattet zu bekommen, neue Verbindungen nur mit mehr Umstiegen zu finden und so kurzfristig nicht mehr zusammenhΓ€ngende Sitze zu bekommen. Schade!

Dass ihr kurzfristig die #Familienreservierung abschafft, ist enttΓ€uschend fΓΌr unsere 4-kΓΆpfige Familie, die in Kanada immer vom dt. ΓV schwΓ€rmt.
Dass ihr nun aber 2 unserer reservierten Verbindungen streicht & uns zwingt, neu fΓΌr 35 EUR mehr zu reservieren, ist unredlich
Thrilled to co-organize & present at #BrainModes2025! π§

Wahrscheinlich hilfreich, Initiativen zu bΓΌndeln. @faznet.bsky.social MDR Stern @tagesschau.bsky.social haben u.a. schon darΓΌber berichtet, dass diesmal besonders viele Wahlunterlagen nicht rechtzeitig ankommen.
In Toronto sind die Wahlunterlagen aus Halle fΓΌr meine Mutter bis heute nicht angekommen. Ebensowenig wie meine aus GΓΆttingen - die hatte ich bereits am 30. Dezember (!) beantragt. Betroffene kΓΆnnen diese Petition unterstΓΌtzen: openpetition.de/!wahlrecht

In GatherTown, the speaker's corner is located in the top right of the "Talks" room (which you find going through the top right doors from the main hall).
See you there!
#MRITogether24 is live! Don't be shy and and join the "Meet-the-speakers" corner on GatherTown after each #MRITogether session. This is your low-threshold way of talking to our inspiring speakers 1:1 and get more personal insights into open MRI

This session is really dear to my β€οΈ, being maintainer of the open-source #PhysIO_Toolbox myself for > 10y. Always torn between support, new features, community building & actually using the tools. Excited to hear how experts e.g. from the @bidsstandard.bsky.social, BART/Debian teams are doing it.
