Our 7-minute venous mapping study is featured in the UMN Medical School news!
I’m especially grateful for our international collaboration with Kendrick Kay from CMRR UMN. That partnership was vital in helping our ideas mature and refining the tools we built.

We reconstruct the cerebellar cortex and vasculature in-vivo by combining motion-corrected, pTX-enabled #7T MRI with a new segmentation approach.
Thanks Siawoosh 😄
Thank you :)
A new MRI protocol can scan the human brain and its venous network in under 7 minutes at 0.35 mm iso. resolution, marking it as a potential tool for diagnosing cerebrovascular diseases and monitoring neurodegeneration.

Christmas is over and you start wondering what 2026 may bring? 🎁 Perhaps this #PhD position in Tübingen on the Neural Mechanisms of #Body #Memories in #women & #men is for you 👇 Starting date 01.03.2026 or earlier #fMRI #mentalhealth #sexdifferences
📢 We’ve received several questions about the character count for OHBM 2026 submissions in our new platform, Oxford Abstracts. To help clear things up, we’ve put together a brief blog post explaining the updated limits and what they mean for you.

Scientific publishing norms were built for a world that no longer exists.
In this commentary, I argue that the future of scientific exchange may benefit from new channels of interaction and dissemination.

Yesterday, @ofgulban.bsky.social gave a great talk about efficient imaging of small veins.
It was inspiring. Impressive how much information is there waiting to be harvested.

A new season of OHBM Neurosalience has started. Here's our kickoff episode where I talk with Lead Producer, Michelle Li about highlights from the past season, reaching our 100th episode, the controversial DIANA paper from last year, and what to expect.

More on the blood motion artifact, and capturing it on 7 T MRI, see my 2022 paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...
I call this artifact shortly "blood motion artifact", but in the past it was called "spatial misregistration of the vascular flow". See Larson et al. 1990, doi.org/10.2214/ajr....
One reason I developed LayNii IDA was to more easily explore my 0.35 mm multi echo human brain data. Here I’m observing blood motion artifacts across echos. The arterial signal *appear* to move across several millimeters. Best captured in short readout windows (e.g. ~3 ms readout windows in GRE).
The most primal generative experiences may be ones created by the visual cortex alone, or at least those involving the visual cortex in close collaboration with entheogenic triggers or light stimulation.

We have published our book chapter “draft/preprint” on our blog and later added the DOI of the book chapter when it came out: layerfmri.com/2024/04/18/l...
I've always wanted to explore fMRI time series as a smooth, real-time movie. Now I can with LayNii IDA. Plus, with voxel-wise correlations on the fly.
Fast, intuitive, and surprisingly insightful.

One more: Marshall Xu is presenting our latest updates in mapping brainstem vasculature at poster #1759, where he did some nifty image transformations + VesselBoost segmentation to get our best results yet. Take a look!

Very cool! Looking forward to the blog post and the data.
Cool, would you mind sharing this data? I would like to explore the voxel-wise correlations in it, if possible (using LayNii IDA: youtu.be/ZFsBljNOcyw?...)
Demonstrating anatomy-functional data registration of 11.7 T (!) partial-coverage human fMRI data at 0.7 × 0.7 × 0.8 mm resolution to help my colleague Alejandro Monreal-Madrigal.
Who did a great work with this spiral readout acquisition. The data quality looks quite good 👏

Grateful to these friends and collaborators who show up in the personal stories behind this post. Science communication isn’t just about clarity, it’s about connection: @sitek.bsky.social @k4tj4.bsky.social @r3rt0.bsky.social @mholla.bsky.social @layerfmri.bsky.social
In this blog post I am exploring the strange tension between rigor, reach, and recognition in modern science.
