FWIW: our group collects a lot of highly-accelerated fMRI at 3T and 7T; as you know the single band reference images have a ton more contrast than the accelerated data. However, I've never once needed to use them because afni_proc does so well with alignment and blip-up/down distortion correction.

Since I can’t work my day job, I’m back to my side gig. 7 handmade dichroic stained glass brains up for grabs tonight at 7pm EST at www.brainedglass.com

thank you peircej, TEParsons and mdcutone for your tireless work!

hey MRI-ers: 5+ mins of detail about this detail! no but srsly good to know this exists youtu.be/SPNPZJingZA?...

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

i love this idea so much but the code is breaking on me. i hope the developers can fix the Test=failing and deploy-docs=Failing on the repo

Longer fMRI brain scans boost reliability—but only to a point Around 30 minutes of imaging per person seems to be the “sweet spot” for linking functional connectivity differences to traits in an accurate and cost-effective way.

When powering fMRI studies, sample size is king, but scan duration can also be a powerful tool, improving phenotypic prediction and cost-efficiency, a new analysis shows

IMHO somewhere in a cheat sheet should be: (a) emphasis that the menu up top changes depending on whether the builder or coder windows are active (b) at least *mention* the "Code" module; an extremely powerful feature and would appeal to a more advanced audience. looking forward to the cheat sheet!

@UCLA is a global leader in research, innovation, education, and healthcare. The federal government’s $1B demand would devastate the nation’s top public research university, cut off life-saving care, and halt tech and economic growth. #StandUpForUC bit.ly/standuc

i'm collecting a super small FOV and want a lateralized fiducial marker that's not focal like a vitamin E capsule but rather like a "strip" so it'll be present despite where I place the acquisition window. ideas? dielectric pads are too thick and obviously i wouldn't want to place only 1

A human brain network linked to restoration of consciousness after deep brain stimulation - Nature Communications In people with severe brain injuries, stimulation restored consciousness by engaging a deep brain circuit for wakefulness—revealing a target that may also guide treatment in stroke and epilepsy.

Just dropped in @natcomms.nature.com: we show that re-engaging a thalamic–ventral tegmental circuit with deep brain stimulation can reignite consciousness in patients with severe brain injury. Work led by Aaron Warren, with @andreashorn.org @foxmdphd.bsky.social @ others! tinyurl.com/4kz8j89b

Cycling on the Freeway: The perilous state of open-source neuroscience software Abstract. Most scientists need software to perform their research (Barker et al., 2020; Carver et al., 2022; Hettrick, 2014; Hettrick et al., 2014; Switters & Osimo, 2019), and neuroscientists are no ...
