Huge congratulations to lab alumnus Sidhant Chopra for his award winning paper! 💫💫💫 "A practical guide for generating reproducible and programmatic neuroimaging visualisations" was awarded the best paper in Aperture Neuro at #ohbm2024 Check it out or chat to him here!

So lucky and grateful to have such an incredible mentor! Super well deserved

Very exciting event!! Make sure to sign up!

Thanks to all the mentors and mentees for participating in Lunch with Mentors. Even though there were a couple hiccups we made it all the way through. Shoutout Priscila Levi Katie Moran Patcharaporn (Nok) Srisaikaew, PhD and Timothy Jordan for organising a fabulous event!

@no_francis1 Victor Barnes Mehul Gajwani Toby Constable Interested in individualized parcellations? Come have a look at Priscila Levi's exciting new work on a geometrically-grounded AND individualized eigenmode-based parcellation, Poster 1636 !

Unlike graph theory, which models binary connectivity between brain regions and disregards the spatial topography, Neural field theory models the brain functional connectome as a continuous field and the geometric modes of the cortex can help to reconstruct them / in the

Brain energy = cognitive health? 🧠⚡ Dr. Sharna Jamadar's research reveals metabolic connectivity—how brain regions coordinate energy use—could be a game-changer for predicting cognitive decline. loom.ly/oHJ9ZLg Sharna Jamadar #ohbm2025 #brainbites

2/ Using a sample of 842 community dwelling individuals with a broad range of psychiatric histories, we estimated psychopathological constructs using CAT-PD and BFI-II data. We used data-driven analyses to converge on 5 broad-spectrum constructs with strong literature backing.

Resting-state fMRI is commonly used to understand the brain in health and disease… but it’s notoriously noisy! 🔧We tested dozens of different pre-processing pipelines to find out what actually works best to denoise data + predict behaviour
