Peter Bandettini notes SPM “catalyzed more progress towards understanding the human brain than perhaps any other discovery or methodological advance in neuroimaging”. He also urges continuous revisiting of assumptions and their validity. Excellent food for thought as our #SPM Homecoming kicks off!

A busy conference room with many delegates seated around tables, several screens positioned around the sides of the room and a female speaker standing at the front next to a lectern giving a presentation.
Absolutely delighted to be at @meguki2025.bsky.social at lovely Mary Ward house, London.
Really enjoyed talk by Stephanie Mellor (Zurich/UCL) about ambulation with OPMs. The tech is evolving fast!
Thanks to hosts @imagingneuroucl.bsky.social for organising. Looking forward to this 🙂
