Every opportunity politicians provide for you to tell them about how chronic underfunding of research in Australia is affecting your particular fields, people, working conditions etc. is extremely important.

Investigating individual-specific topographic organization has traditionally been a resource-intensive and time-consuming process. But what if we could map visual cortex organization in thousands of brains? Here we offer the community with a toolbox that can do just that! tinyurl.com/deepretinotopy

Extending their earlier work, Dao et al. showcase Neurodesk applications for open neuroimaging data sharing and usage: doi.org/10.52294/001...

Day 3 of OHBM BrainHack going strong (this photo is from yesterday btw, repeat today anyone?) with HackTrack, TrainTrack, StatsWorkshop, and @neurodesk.org !

“What if installing FSL or FreeSurfer didn’t take hours — or even minutes?”
Come find out how we’ve made neuroimaging tools portable, fast, and accessible for everyone at the Neurodesk workshop at Brainhack 2025.

@neurodesk.org

🔁 Neurodesk helps you re-run old analyses — even years later — in exactly the same environment.
This is the power of portable reproducibility.
Try it out at our Brainhack workshop.

🔍 Includes:
✅ Multi-site, multi-contrast MRI data
✅ Manually corrected segmentations of 5 key tongue muscles
✅ Phenotypic data (age, sex, height, weight, muscle volumes)

This resource is perfect for researchers in imaging, ML, speech, and more!

An Annotated Multi-Site and Multi-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging Dataset for the study of the Human Tongue Musculature Scientific Data - An Annotated Multi-Site and Multi-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging Dataset for the study of the Human Tongue Musculature

🚨 New Open Dataset Alert! 👅

We've just published a data descriptor in Scientific Data introducing the first open, annotated MRI dataset of tongue musculature, including T1- and T2-weighted images from 47 non-neurodegenerative "healthy" participants across 3 studies!

Looking forward to be talking about this at ISMRM :) I will be there from Saturday to Tuesday and keen to talk about this and everything else Neurodesk!

Neurodesk now integrates with Siemens OpenRecon :) Bring your image processing pipeline to the MRI scanner and accelerate clinical translation. This will be presented at ISMRM 2025 on Monday, 12th of May, 10am at the Siemens Booth, 4pm at poster 1962 and at the MAGNETOM User Meeting.

We have a fully funded PhD position available, application deadline is 8th Jan 2025: study.uq.edu.au/study-option...

This project will develop methodologies and standards for defining reproducible, benchmarked analysis pipelines and integrating them in Neurodesk.org and Brainlife.io

#MRITogether has an amazing line-up and super interesting sessions! The next one on MRI toolboxes is just about to start.

YouTube video by Andrew Jahn Neuroimaging, Reproducibility, and Neurodesk | Steffen Bollmann (Andy's BrainCast #003)

The latest episode of Andy Jahn's BrainCast covers how www.Neurodesk.org was developed, how it is currently used, and what its prospects are for making neuroimaging data analysis more accessible and reproducible. YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_6_... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/57vT...

#MRITogether Last but not least, we will wrap up day 4 (2/2) with several speakers discussing their experience with sustainable volunteering in open science initiatives. Looking forward to that!
