MT771: @karolisdegutis presents "Increased working memory load activates superficial layers of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex" - a GE-BOLD study with results from layer-specific decoding of WM load and WM content >> Mon: 12:15pm - 1:15pm and Tue: 1-2pm

Come along to the #ohbm Multivariate Approaches session on Thursday morning (yes, after the club night) to see more simulation results from Dr. Tijl Grootswagers and Prof. Alexandra Woolgar - we looked at the benefit of creating pseudotrials using trial averaging and resampling. Poster WTh579

Sadly, I decided to leave #OHBM22 today. Caught covid 5 weeks ago and exhaustion is bringing my symptoms back. So I need to go home & rest. Sorry that I miss catching up with most of you! Really looked forward to reconnect! Make sure to chat with Denis Chaimow & @karolisdegutis

Hello OHBM attendees. Now that the conference is drawing to a close, did you get Covid?

I've spent the past year on a passion project, asking: When it comes to understanding the brain, what are we trying to achieve? What have we learned? What challenges do we face? And what's our plan? As I pull it all together into a book, I want to champion these 11 references:

Dynamic layer-specific processing in the prefrontal cortex during working memory biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

!!! Hot off the pre-print press: "Dynamic layer-specific processing in the prefrontal cortex during working memory" - if you are into working memory, high-resolution fMRI (7T), cortical layers and the prefrontal cortex check out out Karolis' thread on our new results!!!

New layer fMRI paper: A future perspective paper discussing the promising potential of layer-fMRI in neurofeedback studies. By Denis Chaimow et al., doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2…

Remember back in 2022, when we didn't need to worry about a 2nd Trump Presidency, but were concerned about how many participants it would take to map links between personality & brain activity? (cf work by Scott Marek & Nico Dosenbach) We have good news 👇 nature.com/articles/s4200…

The good news is that we can optimise task contexts to maximise their sensitivity to specific relationships, reducing the cost of future BWAS. See work by Rob Leech Romy Lorenz to see how this could work sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
