I am absolutely stoked to share our new study on multiscale neural dynamics across species and behaviour + network simulations exploring their benefits! The best lab going around! Captained by THE Mac Shine 🙌

Following the news that eLife will not receive an Impact Factor in 2025, we’ve shared an update on how our model is doing since we were first placed “on hold” by Web of Science, and what we’re up to now. Find out more. elifesciences.org/inside-elife/c…

This paper is not that well cited, but still one of my favorite papers showing that resting-state correlations (aka functional connectivity) is biologically meaningful. (I am not an author)

Our latest Neural Systems and Behaviour Lab PP led by Kane Pavlovich looking at how different pre-processing pipelines influence data-quality & BWAS effect sizes in rsFC analyses of 3 datasets. Spoiler: ICA-FIX+GSR does ok across the board, but pipeline variations are minimal: tinyurl.com/bdzfr8fh

One of my favorite recent reads is this Nature News & Views by Roselyne Chauvin & Nico Dosenbach explaining Kaidi Kang @kaidikang.bsky.social Simon Vandekar Jakob Seidlitz Ted Satterthwaite Richard Bethlehem et al's study describing the study features that contribute to reproducible BWAS studies nature.com/articles/d4158…

Just published🔈 "Structurally informed models of directed brain connectivity" Read: rdcu.be/d3dC4 We review how structural connectivity constrains directed connectivity models 🧠 Lead by Matthew Greaves w/ Leonardo Novelli, Sina Mansour L. and Andrew Zalesky

It costs $89-$199 for a poster printing Estimated $260.000-$597.000 for ~3k posters (main conference) $0.5M dollars go to the trash bin right after 3 hours 😭 I feel sad, is there any more sustainable way to reduce this waste?? 🥹 #NeurIPS2024 #NeurIPS

Our work linking GWAS and pharmacological treatments in psychiatric disorders is now in JAMA Psychiatry jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap… 🧬💊🎯 Big thanks to Ben Fulcher Alex Fornito Mark Bellgrove 🧵👇

The Brain Connectivity Workshop 2025 will be held just before #OHBM2025 on beautiful Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) a 1 hour ferry from Brisbane Registration will open shortly (to be <$600 for travel registration & accomodation) so please plan your flights accordingly

Now that those #ohbm abstracts are done - think about submitting to this connectivity workshop. Stellar lineup of speakers is set! Register (and submit abstracts) here - medicine.yale.edu/mrrc/about/s... Abstract deadline is Jan 10, 2025. Yale-MRRC-Neuroscience

Thrilled to share our latest work on the importance of considering social identities in brain imaging research, now out in Nature Neuroscience. rdcu.be/d4XWM

Really fed up with ITV News. I did a pre-recorded interview in which I expressed strong scepticism about the 'coffee only good in the morning' story. But they cut all that out, leaving me apparently supporting their credulous story. I really should not be so naive.
