The Neurodesk manuscript is published in Nature Methods. Neurodesk is not only awesome for science, but also for #teaching, even of inexperienced students! I had the great pleasure being the first to use it for teaching #neuroscience at UOW. Questions? Drop me a line.

#BrainHack_Aus: Shoutout to the brilliant teams who took part in @Brainhackorg Australasia - pushing the boundaries in neuroscience innovation! 🌏 Let's dive into the awesome projects the talented teams have been working on in the thread below 👇 👩‍💻👨‍💻 #NeuroInnovation

#BrainHack_Aus: 🧠 'Evolving nipype to pydra': Creating a workflow to level-up neuroimaging, porting tools from FSL, ANTs, AFNI, and Freesurfer. 🚀 Brainhack #neuroscience

#BrainHack_Aus: 🎉 'Psy2R': Transforming the Psy software package into sleek R Code and functions. Goals included integrating functions and exploring Pascal code. 💻 #Psy2R Brainhack

#BrainHack_Aus: 🌐 'Behapy': a behavioural neuroscience analysis package for Python. The team tackled behaviour datasets, photometry, documentation, and statistics. 🧠📊 #Behapy Brainhack

📣 First 2 years of my PhD have culminated into this new preprint w/ Kevin Aquino 🧠🔑 Linden Parkes Alex Fornito Ben Fulcher! 🥳 We take a deep dive into all the many ways we can slice n dice fMRI dynamics to quantify biologically relevant properties🧠🧮 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The "Behind the Paper" blog post describing why and how we built Neurodesk is out now. Delve into the story behind Neurodesk.org - the challenges, the breakthroughs, and the solutions we developed for reproducible Neuroimaging. 👉communities.springernature.com/posts/reproduc….

🧠Big news, little brain 🧠 I’m excited to share our preprint introducing our hierarchical cerebellar atlas!🎉 We fused many fMRI datasets into a comprehensive map of the cerebellum - and created a new resource for localizing and interpreting data. 🧵1/7 doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

New paper from Devon Stoliker "Neural Mechanisms of Resting-State Networks and the Amygdala underlying the Cognitive and Emotional Effects of Psilocybin" sciencedirect.com/science/articl… with Katrin Preller Leonardo Novelli and others

We're hiring! New post-doc role at University of Sydney with Joseph Lizier and Ben Fulcher focussed on whole-brain neuroimaging and some cool computational methods. Full app details here: usyd.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/USYD_EXTERNAL_…. To start in July 24. Feel free to reach out if you have Qs. Oh, and please RT!

Save the dates (7-8 Nov, 2024) for our annual conference in Melbourne at the Ian Potter Auditorium! This is a combined event with our Maths in the Brain friends. Global BrainHack - Australasia satellite 4-6 November, 2024. OHBM Australasian Cognitive Neuroscience Society Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS) Biological Psychiatry Australia

Track-weighted PET connectome: a method to combine PET and MRI fibre-tracking to define a patient-specific PET connectome (dx.doi.org/10.1002/hbm.26…). We applied it to ADNI dementia data. Work from PhD thesis of Zhuopin (Pin) Sun, +collaboration with @StevenRMeikle & Sharon Naismith, AM, FASSA

#ANZSNM 2024: Excited to host the Australian National Imaging Facility Showcase at ANZSNM's ASM in Ōtautahi Christchurch this month. Sunday 28 April 1:15pm – 2:00pm Te Pae Auditorium Featuring presentations from Wojtek James Goscinski, Roslyn Francis and Yaser Hadi Gholami More info: anif.org.au/anzsnm-2024/

YIKES! Don’t do this. Data from vital registrations - births, deaths, marriages - are crucial to a whole range of data and allocation needs. Privatising this public good is a governance nightmare with major legislative headaches. theage.com.au/politics/victo…

New version just posted: "Extracting interpretable signatures of whole-brain dynamics through systematic comparison" Annie G. Bryant (w/ improved null testing, explicit performance comparison, additional robustness checks (including against age/sex, …) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#MediaAlert: Australian-led the MRtrix3 team team announced as #EurekaPrizes Finalists Proud to support #MRtrix3, used by scientists and doctors globally to map brain connections with MRI data - to study and treat disease Congratulations J-Donald Tournier Rob Smith! australian.museum/get-involved/e…

New preprint by Rishi Maran Eli Muller "Analyzing the Brain's Dynamic Response to Targeted Stimulation using Generative Modeling" A review/perspective on why new mechanisms may be found by modeling brain stimulation dynamics 🧠⚡️ arxiv.org/abs/2407.19737 Quick summary 👇
