All NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports editors have resigned over the high publication fee, and are starting a new non-profit journal imaging-neuroscience.org This comes with great regret, and a huge amount of thought and discussion- please read announcement to get more details.

See pictures of our own undergrad RAs Emma Tusuzian, Brenna Firlie, and Nita Akoh at RISE 2023! They accomplished so much during their time in the lab and what an awesome way to wrap up their research work. Congratulations!

Congratulations to Emma Tusuzian, our awesome undergrad research assistant who has been chosen to receive the Award for Outstanding Undergraduate Research! Check out all the lab’s awards and honors here: …field-gabrieli.sites.northeastern.edu/awards/

Your mental health matters. “We chose to combine real-time neurofeedback with mindfulness meditation so individuals could train to calm their minds based on their own brain activities in real-time,” says, Jiahe Zhang. Learn more: cos.nu/3Aik48f #COSConnects
