Mark your calendars: The 6th ‘layer-fMRI’ dinner is scheduled for Feb 8th 2024. This time, we will talk about the relationship between layer-fMRI and industry. Speakers: Rainer Goebel, Robin Heidemann, and David Feinberg. Virtual event via Zoom. More info: laminauts.com/6thdinner/

この全脳Layer-fMRI(VASO)データを使わせて頂いてる 3→7T(BOLD)はマップが綺麗になったり、デコーディング精度が向上するだけの印象だけど、Layer-fMRIは議論が質的に変わる感ある 皮質の浅/中/深を分ければ答えられる理論的な問の幅が広がるし、デコーディング畑の人もLayer-fMRIに親しむと良い

Today 25 years ago, the first fMRI study got published that imposed layers on human MR images. By @Northernthrux doi.org/10.1002/(SICI)… It took another 8 years until the first layer profiles (plot of fMRI signal across layers). (Looking at layer-fMRI history with Faruk Gulban )

How do we imagine? Prof. dr. Rainer Goebel (FPN) was awarded an ERC Advanced Grant of €2,5M for his project Reading the Mind’s Eye: AI inspired personalised brain models of mental imagery. Read more: maastrichtuniversity.nl/news/how-do-we…

There is a new blog post (book chapter) that provides an overview methods for computing geometric layers and columns. AKA: Layerficiation and Columnarization. It includes: Historical aspects, the layer-fMRI field now, and the future. By Faruk Gulban layerfmri.com/layerification/

New layer-fMRI paper looking into imaginary and perceived faces. By Tony Carricarte et al. cell.com/iscience/fullt…

At #OHBM2024, there will be more layer-fMRI abstracts than any previous year. Here are my favourite abstracts: layerfmri.com/abstracts2024/

Day 2 of brainhack started with the #unconference! Here is Faruk Gulban giving a talk exploring MRI phase images and coining the phrase “phase jolt” - don’t trash your phase data, recycle! ♻️ #hackathon #OHBM_Brainhack_2024

OHBM #Hackathon was a blast! Thanks to all our attendees and volunteers for a hugely successful programme of events. Looking forward to 2025 in Brisbane already! #ohbm2024

🧠Come check out our layer-fMRI poster #2554 at OHBM today and tomorrow!🧲 *Feedback and feedforward laminar modulation of human motion perception: a 7 T fMRI study* Faruk Gulban layerfMRI Judith Peters Rainer Goebel #OHBM24

Are you interested in human vision perception study with layer-fMRI? Come to our poster #2557 🧠🌈 OHBM

3 posters at #OHBM2024 OHBM : · 1920: 0.35 mm whole brain MRI youtu.be/5hUe_J5F354?si… · 1921: Phase spatial derivative contrasts "Jump" and "Jolt" youtu.be/xmnKw_P97jU?si… · 1922: Phase Jolt fMRI youtu.be/CeDf9YpMtLk?si… I will be standing at poster presentation times.

For an ERC-funded project I am looking for enthusiastic academics interested in investigating mental imagery using laminar fMRI, AI and BCIs. For details see: academictransfer.com/en/342721/phd-… academictransfer.com/en/342769/post…

🚨New preprint🚨 on laminar CBV and BOLD responses across time and space in human S1 at 7T. We investigated digit-representations across layers and observed indications of a potential center-surround excitation-inhibition architecture that changes across the cortical landscape.

Please mark your calendars for the 7th ‘layer-fMRI’ virtual dinner on Aug. 22nd. We will be discussing possible translational and clinical applications of layer fMRI. With: Esther Kuehn, Joost Haarsma, and Jun Hua More info: layerfmri.com/7thdinner/

This layer-fMRI is now published in ImagingNeuroscience: doi.org/10.1162/imag_a…

Two new assistant professor positions at the cognitive neuroscience department Maastricht Uni FPN Come join us! More details in the link below! academictransfer.com/en/344342/two-…

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Sebastian Dresbach, Rainer Goebel, et al: Characterisation of laminar and vascular spatiotemporal dynamics of CBV and BOLD signals using VASO and ME-GRE at 7T in humans doi.org/10.1162/imag_a…

New layer-fMRI manuscript focusing on Fuzzy Ripple artifacts. Arguably the biggest challenge in layer-fMRI acquisition. Every layer-fMRI dataset has them, they limit resolution and TR, and we shows how to mitigate them. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… #Layer_fMRI_Artifact_of_the_Week

You feel something is physically moving during a bistable illusion. While your brain can trick your eyes 👀, it cannot trick our scanner🧲 Our 7T fMRI results show a distinct feedback modulation between V1 & hMT+ in this illusion👇 Faruk Gulban layerfMRI Judith Peters Rainer Goebel
