🎓 💫 We are opening post-doc positions at the intersection of AI, data science, and medicine: • Large Language Models for French medical texts • Evaluating digital medical devices: statistics and causal inference

So excited to share that DeepPrep is now online in Nature Methods! 🚀 It’s 10× faster than the SOTA pipeline and more robust in handling clinical cases. We’ve just released v25.1.0 with a concise GUI and support for both Win and Linux. Give it a try! 📷 shorturl.at/0pB4H

"Copy number variants and the tangential expansion of the cerebral cortex". Work led by Zhijie Liao & Tomas Paus, out in Nature Communications, investigating the rare genetic architecture of the human cerebral cortex. doi.org/10.1038/s41467… Read content here: rdcu.be/eagHX

"Gene dosage architecture across complex traits". Excited to share our work led by the excellent Sayeh Kazem (joint co-author). We will post a detailed 🧵 in the coming days. Please reach out if you have any questions. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… #CNVs #GeneDosage #UKBB

When your kids ask you what you did to save US science in the crisis of ‘25, you will say that you showed up! Please spread the word and join us!!

🚨IT'S HAPPENING🚨 a woman who cannot speak now speaks through her brain, in real time, with her own voice. no typing, delay, or sounds made. just neural intent to streaming speech this isn’t prediction. it’s embodiment 1/

My paper introducing my longitudinal DBM pipeline and examining the ultimate sensitivity of it in human data is now published at ApertureNeuro! apertureneuro.org/article/133510…

Our work out as pre-print. Cortical differences across 8 psychiatric disorders and associated common and rare variants. I will be presenting this as an oral presentation Society of Biological Psychiatry this Thursday afternoon. Thanks to all the participants, and co-authors. A detailed 🧵 coming soon.

As always, it was great fun to connect with our ENIGMA Consortium community last night at #SOBP2025 in Toronto - thanks to all who joined us! Cheers to science and the next Society of Biological Psychiatry conference🍻🧠

Lea Waller plenary OHBM 🔥ENiGMA uses HALFPipe, based in fMRIprep, with consensus recommended settings to process resting state or task-based FMRI across 20 countries; to get used to it, you can run a multiverse analysis on some data from Open Neuro; set up an analysis eg

Our findings suggest that repeating single studies with small samples will never converge on a robust neuroanatomical phenotype. Data sharing/pooling can help, but we may also need to rethink our diagnoses/phenotypes. Big thanks to the team! Manuscript: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

6/ Indeed, to achieve high prediction performance, 10-min scans are cost inefficient. In most scenarios, the optimal scan time is ≥20 min. On average, 30-min scans are the most cost effective, yielding 22% savings over 10 min scans. Overshooting is cheaper than undershooting ...
