I started writing again, hoping to write more frequently.

Using tACS? So many decisions to make (stimulation frequency/montage), but the task matters too, and could help direct tACS effects to specific brain areas. Trainee Dr. Abhijit Chinchani's excellent work is now available in pre-print form:

Cognitive Modes Detectable by fMRI: A series of manuscripts from the
Woodward Lab at the University of British Columbia, which detail the
anatomy and function of cognitive modes detectable by fMRI.

Highly recommended reading for those conducting fMRI to investigate behaviour, if I do say so myself :) We are ready to take your calls (via the JoCN Forum) for any feedback, ideas, debate, praise, and so on.

New post by @abhijitchinchani.bsky.social, @evalab.bsky.social, and @twoodward.bsky.social: "Don’t hide the good stuff: Scientific advancement in task-based fMRI is slowed by not showing event-related BOLD (erBOLD) changes alongside anatomical patterns"

Seriously, neuroscientists here: why do you call "brain connectivity" what it's just correlations of some type?

Using the word connectivity is misleading, since it relates to structure and no way this is correct w/o a robust assessment. You can observe this just by changing params in dynamics.

Another cognitive mode detectable by task-based fMRI: Maintaining Internal Attention (MAIN). Anatomical patterns and how its BOLD changes are affected by autobiographical event simulation, working memory, task switching, self-reference and semantic association are here:
