📢Maths in the Brain Workshop 2026 in Melbourne.
We will bring together researchers across Australia with a shared interest in understanding the brain from a quantitative perspective.
This year's keynote is delivered by Professor James Cole, University College London.

Have I missed your favorite subcortical/cerebellar/brainstem atlas?? 🥲
Feel free to create an issue suggesting one, or create your own vectorized map (& hopefully share with other researchers via repo PR 🙏) following the guide in the preprint + project website!

These plots can be readily integrated with cortical surface visualizations created using the fantastic ggseg package (github.com/ggseg/ggseg) led by @drmowinckels.io, as shown here with a GABAA-a1 PET map from Hansen et al. 2026: doi.org/10.1007/s004...

Live your best data viz life below the cortical surface, with pre-vectorized atlases ready to apply to subcortical/cerebellar stats from neuroimaging, transcriptomics, cytoarchitecture, etc 💅 demo'ed here on neurotransmitter PET receptor maps from Justine Hansen & co in @misicbata.bsky.social group

Nine subcortical/cerebellar atlases included in the subcortex_visualization Python package (and subcortexVisualizationR package in R). The atlases are depicted in two-dimensional vector graphic format.
The extended version of my thesis procrastination project/subcortex visualization package is out now in both Python and R, now that I’ve graduated 🤠 This figure shows the 9 atlases included (and counting)!

My very normal, by the book presentation from this years OHBM is now available. So if you weren't at OHBM, were there but happened to miss it, or if you did see it and just want to relive it all over again, here is your chance :)
I'm quite fond of this one.

New preprint: "Identifying statistical indicators of temporal asymmetry using a data-driven approach"
arxiv.org/abs/2511.15991
_Can we statistically distinguish the forward- versus reverse-time dynamics of a system from a finite time series?_
🎊Ain’t no party like a thesis submission party🎊
Honored to have submitted my PhD as a recipient of the Paulette Isabel Jones Career Development Award from The University of Sydney!
Thank you x1000000 to MVP supervisor @bendfulcher.bsky.social & co-supervisor @macshine.bsky.social 😊
Thank you all for the great chats about this work and the inspiring ideas for where to go next with this project!
And a big thank you to @bendfulcher.bsky.social and @macshine.bsky.social for your guidance and support throughout this project, as with all others of my PhD 😊
#OHBM2025 was a blast -- the perfect way to celebrate submitting my PhD thesis with y'all 🎉
It was an honor (and so fun!) to represent the Aussie imaging community alongside a fab panel in the LOC Symposium, sharing my final thesis work on homotopic connectivity:

New preprint!
Why are long-range connectomic interactions in the cortex dominant in shaping dynamics in some experiments but apparently negligible in others?
We (w/ R Maran, @elimuller.bsky.social) address this question by studying a new hybrid model of cortical dynamics.

‼️ATTENTION‼️
Social night is tonight 8pm at Paddo Tavern!!
Come for a relaxing night and unwind after a brain stimulating day! 🫠
All are welcome!! #OHBM2025
Big shout-out to @jlizier.bsky.social, whose patience, dedication, and guidance in supervising me through this project have been invaluable 🙏 Thank you also to our other fab co-authors for their insightful input as always: Oliver Cliff, @macshine.bsky.social, and @bendfulcher.bsky.social!

Unbiased opinion, but I’m really interested in how we can get the most bang for our info theory buck in computational neuroscience 🧠 So, we demo the implementation and interpretation of all 11 measures with an illustrative BOLD fMRI case study:
20.05.2025 03:27 — 👍 6 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0
We organized 11 measures into 6 categories according to temporal dependency and the type(s) of dynamical properties each measure captures. These measures are summarized in one large ‘pocket reference’ schematic, and we then zoom in to discuss the ‘what/how/why’ of each measure individually 🔎

Info theory offers powerful measures for capturing complexity & interaction among elements of a complex system, like the brain! 🧠 Here's our new unified reference for key info-theoretic time series measures ft. 📊 visuals, ➗equations, & 💬descriptions:

@christopherjwhyte.bsky.social and I introduce a novel data-driven framework to evaluate >200 connectivity-based neural correlates of consciousness! Results are used to quantitatively compare predictions from neurodynamical models tailored to theoretic predictions.
