Happy to announce that the Braga Lab is at #CNS2023 CNS News this week, presenting 4 posters (summarized below): Come by and say hello 👋

We are looking for a new Research Coordinator to join the Braga Lab and assist with experiments using precision fMRI to study brain organization within individuals. Apply at link below or DM for more details! 🧠 careers.northwestern.edu/psp/hr857prd_e…

The Braga Lab is at #OHBM2023! This is my first time at OHBM and I’m grateful to have the chance to learn from other neuroscientists before starting my own graduate training! Check out four posters from Rodrigo Braga’s trainees, spread out across both poster groups: (1/n)

Nathan Anderson (Nathan Anderson), a postdoc in our lab, was able to dissociate mental imagery of visual and auditory stimuli, and these activations aligned with relevant distributed functional networks. (Sunday 7/23 12:15pm-2:15pm) Monday 7/24 1-3pm Poster 0091 #OHBM2023 (2/n)

Very cool new preprint from our lab by the amazing YoungHye Judy Kwon!

NEW PREPRINT! 🚨 Social cognitive regions of human association cortex are selectively connected to the amygdala biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We studied two parallel distributed networks within the canonical default network (DN) in individuals using 7T fMRI.

I really enjoyed working on this case study - check it out!

Braga Lab birthday bash at the escape room - Great team!

We are hiring an Associate or Full Professor-level tenure-track faculty with a background in neuroimaging (MRI/PET) in aging and dementia. Come join the exciting research happening at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine Mesulam Center at Northwestern in downtown Chicago! Please RT and help spread the word 🧠

For those in Chicago for Society for Neuroscience (SfN), welcome! Come check out our poster (Wed 1-5pm; I'm there at 4!). We recorded iEEG during a mental imagery task, with rsfc-MRI networks in the same patients. Come learn about changes in temporal dynamics across different functional networks!

And by Wednesday, I of course mean Monday. Thanks Ania Holubecki for the catch!

I enjoyed recruiting participants, collecting data, and defining individualized networks for our intracranial projects - check out Nate’s work on Monday, not Wednesday!

Happy to announce that our paper is now published in Science Advances! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Some clarifications below about what is and isn’t new about this work:

Excited to share my most recent work with Joe Salvo and Rodrigo Braga on the transmodal language network, defined using functional connectivity and multiple different tasks. Take a look!

This fall, I'll be starting as an assistant professor at Brigham Young University BYU in Psychology BYU Pyschology Department. My lab will study memory and mental imagery and the brain networks that support them. I'm excited to engage with BYU students and collaborate with new colleagues!

🚨 New Preprint 🚨 Targeting intracranial electrical stimulation (ES) to network regions defined within individuals causes network-level effects By Cyr et al. Q: Can we use individualized network maps from precision fMRI to modulate a targeted network via ES? A: Yes! 🧵:

I’m very excited to share my FIRST first-author preprint - the result of my NUIN graduate school lab rotation with Lisa Johnson! We detected HFB in babies (1-4 months) noninvasively using scalp EEG, distinguishing wake from sleep states. 👶 Link: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Hi! Excited to announce that the major work from my PhD is out now on biorxiv! (w. coauthors Kian Kermani , Ally Dworetsky , nathan labora , Jo Hernandez , Rodrigo Braga , Derek Evan Nee , Caterina Gratton + others) biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/18)
