I’m at with some *brand new* infant movie-watching fMRI data! We ask: Does the developing visual system “prefer” more realistic stimuli, or simplified/exaggerated information? How does this impact decoding of (lion) faces? Come by SS9 tomorrow (Tuesday) from 1-5pm! 🦁👑

Congrats to Ahmad Samara and all of these exceptional trainees! And kudos/thanks to Brain Canada for such a great, practical funding mechanism at an important career stage.

Any psychiatrists interested in serving patients in rural/remote locations (w/ research and infrastructure support, and med students/residents via UBC), there is a tenure-track opportunity in Prince George, BC, Canada...…ychiatry-sandbox2019.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2022/11/… It's pretty amazing country!

Thoughts on the use of naturalistic conditions to study social development? Sam Wass, Chiara Bulgarelli, Tessa George, Ahmad Samara do! Hear about them in the Flux 2023 symposium led by Chiara Bulgarelli.

Congrats to Hallee Shearer (far right in pic) for successfully defending her Master's thesis on movie-fMRI for FC-based precision psychiatry....Top marks, no revisions, and a great reason for a lab lunch in Vancouver. (-:

Poster 1919 investigates emotion experience, inter-subject variability and prediction of individual differences using functional gradients.

I genuinely believe that Canada could pay any randomly selected 19-year-old $100 one-time fee to update the CCV web form and it would massively improve all our lives.

Upcoming work driven by Enning Yang + Jakub Kopal !

We show that can be used on 2-hour movie video/audio to link moment-level to dynamic neural activity responses

Thanks for the great collabo: Emily Finn Bratislav Misic @milisav Avram Holmes Avram Holmes !!

1/5 - Officially out on Nature Methods! Reliability eXplorer (ReX), an integrative toolbox for examination of individual variation and reliability. ReX allows you to compare and identify the most efficient direction for optimizing reliability! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Multimodal transformers make it possible to transfer fMRI encoding models between language and vision! (though mostly from L->V and not V->L 🤔) New paper from Jerry Tang Meng Du Vy Vo vasudevlal arxiv.org/abs/2305.12248

The west coast-east coast movie gradient is fully operational! Thanks to Hasson Lab and Sam Nastase for the support, and well-deserved congrats to Ahmad Samara. Can't wait to see what this yields...

Our paper on decoding natural language from fMRI is out now in Nature neuroscience: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Pls read Jerry Tang’s excellent blogpost on it(+privacy implications) here: medium.com/Jerry Tang/so…

And here is his explainer video: youtube.com/watch?v=Fj6Z2r…
