"... the strain on academic publishing could be substantially alleviated if funding agencies stipulated that the work they support must be published in non-profit journals."
Amen.

Can math measure consciousness? 🧠

Is consciousness computable, or bound to biology? 🧬

Dr. Melanie Boly is dissecting this pivotal debate in neuroscience

Yeah please DO share your #OHBM2025 posters!

Mine are available on @ohbmofficial.bsky.social server and that of Liège University. 😁

Posters 1832, "In vivo MRI histology revisited: en route to hMRI toolbox 1.0" is available on hdl.handle.net/2268/328894

Posters 1813, "Lifespan quantitative MR images from 138 subjects, an open and spatially preprocessed dataset." is available on hdl.handle.net/2268/325811

Come and see my 2 ##OHBM2025 posters 1813 and 1832 today and tomorrow!

They are around there 👇

Worth a quick read, especially if you are in neuroscience, even if you don't do fMRI.

🎉 Join us during the Opening Ceremony!

Opening #OHBM2025 !

Lots of exciting work being showcased by the SPM Team and other Fellows from the UCL Department of Imaging Neuroscience at #OHBM2025 this week! A thread 🧵 ... [1/7]

And so it begins! #OHBM2025

Our first attendee arrived a little early today - we did have to inform them they missed the early bird registration rates! 😅

We let them know we officially open at 15:00, we’ll see you all very soon!

Fantastic speaker and impressive career since her time at the @giga-crc-hi.bsky.social !

En route to #OHBM2025!
Just a 25 hours trip, from airport to airport... ouch!

🚨 ESMRMB introduces Project Abstracts, allowing researchers to share new ideas for feedback and collaboration in the MRI community. Contributions are welcome from tool development and clinical applications, to open science and education.

🔜 Submissions opening soon!

- Poster 1832, "In vivo MRI histology revisited: en route to hMRI toolbox 1.0", cf. hdl.handle.net/2268/328894
and taking part in the "30 Years of SPM: Celebrating the Evolution of Neuroimaging Analysis" roundtable, cf. hdl.handle.net/2268/329963

Drop by if interested. 😃

Ho gosh, I look so NOT excited to attend #OHBM2025... 😅
Anyway, catch up with you all in Brisbane !

BTW I'll be presenting 2 posters:
- Poster 1813, "Lifespan quantitative MR images from 138 subjects, an open and spatially preprocessed dataset.", cf. hdl.handle.net/2268/325811

If I were cheeky, I would say that not flying to Brisbane is the most sustainable act one could do...
but I am flying to Brisbane so will not say it and will definitely not win the Sustainability Award ! 😉 😇

Can You Patent an Algorithm? - Goldstein Patent Law | Patent and Trademark Experts for Individuals, Start-ups and Entrepreneurs Can you patent an algorithm? This article discusses whether you can patent an algorithm, and what steps you can take legally.

I thought algorithms could NOT be patented, only practical applications of these. 🤔

And if patent protected, what's the patent number then ? They may be confusing this with code Copyright or Licence ?

Perfect name for the next Alt-rock band... 😉

Moreover the proposed solution should be (extremely) sensitive to the tissue conductive properties, which cannot be derived from standard anatomical MRIs, apart for an approximate spatial distribution, cf. hdl.handle.net/2268/288747 and hdl.handle.net/2268/294662

If only the code was available. 🙄

Quick check of the paper mentioned here under and it's rather "opaque". 🤔

Key point IMO is confusing Maxwell's equations time dependence and brain waves time scale. Anisotropy and inhomogeneity in tissue conductivity is important but it lives very well with the "quasi-static approximation".

One for @jerrybrotton.bsky.social !

Hello World !
Here we are... anyone up for a 🍻 this weekend ?
And see you all in Brisbane. 😄
