The 7th Biennial Resting State Brain Connectivity Conference will be held as an in-person event this Sept (22-24) in Dallas, TX! Early-bird: July 31 Abstract deadline: Sept 3 Program, registration, and poster submission info: restingstate.com #restingstate2021 1/4

Our latest paper "Transcriptomic and macroscopic architectures of intersubject functional variability in human brain white-matter" is now out in Communications Biology | nature.com/articles/s4200… With Wei LIAO Bharat Biswal Guorong Wu Yao Meng SiqiYang

I am delighted to announce that three of my Ph.D. students received the Student and Young Investigator Award at the NRM 2021 just before Christmas 🍾. Congrats to @ransingx, sabrina, and Tudor Io for your excellent work 👏and thanks to all the co-authors and collaborators!

Assessing functional connectivity differences and work-related fatigue in surviving COVID-negative patients. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… led by Rakibul_Hafiz

Xin Di, Assist. Professor NJIT will briefly review studies on glucose metabolic connectivity inferred from inter-subject covariance of FDG-PET data. He will break down the inter-subject variability, and present new results on within-subject and cross-subject covariance. Xin Di

“Holy crap” one researcher said to me nytimes.com/2022/08/03/sci…

Very sad to hear that Dr. James Hyde has passed away. He was my PhD advisor, postdoc advisor, and hired me as an Assistant Professor. An amazing scientist and mentor, he believed in me, even when I had doubts. I will always be thankful to him for his intellect and support.

Our paper is finally online. In this paper we showed that wearing normal face mask (surgical mask) has little to know effect on brain activations during fMRI task and rest. Thanks to our co-authors Bharat Biswal Ben Becker and everyone involved rdcu.be/cV3LM

🔥Happy to share our latest publication on the combinatorial use of CRISPR and brain imaging to achieve selective modulation of genes and understand the related functional adaptations in brain networks. Andreas Maurer Werner Siemens Imaging Center, Kirik lab! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

A very interest paper by my friend and colleague Ben (Ben Becker ). academic.oup.com/psyrad/article…

✨Enjoyed every time in Montréal as a first-timer at #OHBM2023🧠 Huge shout-out to the organizers and speakers for putting together such a fantastic event! Feeling lucky to meet all the cool researchers and Bharat Biswal, looking forward to #OHBM2024 already in Seoul 🇰🇷

It was wonderful finally meeting Andreas Horn in person. Andreas gave an amazing Keynote talk at #OHBM. I am so glad, I did not have to go after his talk. Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks to a grant from NIH, we will be able to give 25-30 travel awards to students and postdocs to attend the Resting State Brain Connectivity Conference to be held at UTDallas. Please submit your abstracts by Aug 18th!

New preprint: We found significant corr between cerebrovascular reactivity and task-/resting-state brain activity, but the limited effect sizes suggested limitations to use cerebrovascular reactivity to adjust individual differences in brain activity biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very interesting read about Deep Learning. medium.com/aimonks/deep-l…

A very informative article about how to write research proposals by 3 veterans NIH program officers. pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

I'm super excited to share that I'm guest editing a Special Issue for Psychoradiology (Psychoradiology) focusing on Sociodemographic Influences on Brain and Behaviour! Please reach out if you have questions or want to contribute to this issue! Deadline to submit is June 2025.

Our group is looking for a PostDoc with a strong background in fMRI analysis. Please find more details here and apply:   njit.csod.com/ux/ats/careers…
