Mapping cerebral blood perfusion and its links to multi-scale brain organization across the human lifespan How does cerebral blood perfusion map onto micro-, meso- and macro-scale brain structure? Using arterial spin labeling data from the Human Connectome Project, this study provides a detailed characteri...

Sankey diagram showing analysis steps for fNIRS. Snakes flow from left to right showing different design choices that many teams made during data analysis. Overall it looks like sort of a mess.

38 research teams analyzed the same fNIRS data...Really nice visualization of the variety of processing pipelines people use from Meryem Yücel, Rob Luke, et al.:

"fNIRS reproducibility varies with data quality, analysis pipelines, and researcher experience"

Imaging and recording technologies make it possible to map multiple biological features of the brain. How can these features be conceptually integrated into a coherent understanding of brain structure and function? ⤵️

Hey #AAIC25 !
Today I'll be sharing our research on the mediating effect of WMH on spontaneous brain activity during aging! 🧠

We think of white matter as the brain's highways—uniform conduits between cortices. But what if we study development along tracts? Turns out the journey matters as much as the cortical destination! We're thrilled to share “Two Axes of White Matter Development” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The Last Decision by the World’s Leading Thinker on Decisions — The Wall Street Journal Shortly before Daniel Kahneman died last March, he emailed friends a message: He was choosing to end his own life in Switzerland. Some are still struggling with his choice.

"As death approaches, should we make the best of whatever time we have left with those we love the most? Or should we spare them, and ourselves, from as much as possible...?"

"Danny taught me the importance of saying 'I don’t know.' And I don’t know the answers to those questions."
