My very normal, by the book presentation from this years OHBM is now available. So if you weren't at OHBM, were there but happened to miss it, or if you did see it and just want to relive it all over again, here is your chance :)

I'm quite fond of this one.

New preprint: "Identifying statistical indicators of temporal asymmetry using a data-driven approach"
arxiv.org/abs/2511.15991

_Can we statistically distinguish the forward- versus reverse-time dynamics of a system from a finite time series?_

🎊Ain’t no party like a thesis submission party🎊

Honored to have submitted my PhD as a recipient of the Paulette Isabel Jones Career Development Award from The University of Sydney!

Thank you x1000000 to MVP supervisor @bendfulcher.bsky.social & co-supervisor @macshine.bsky.social 😊

#OHBM2025 was a blast -- the perfect way to celebrate submitting my PhD thesis with y'all 🎉
It was an honor (and so fun!) to represent the Aussie imaging community alongside a fab panel in the LOC Symposium, sharing my final thesis work on homotopic connectivity:

New preprint!

Why are long-range connectomic interactions in the cortex dominant in shaping dynamics in some experiments but apparently negligible in others?

We (w/ R Maran, @elimuller.bsky.social) address this question by studying a new hybrid model of cortical dynamics.

I am so very proud announce my lab's first preprint!!

@xiaoyucaly.bsky.social delves into the mechanisms driving tau distribution:
* Tau sequence driven by connectivity dynamics
* Tau load driven by local factors

Check out her thread below
🧠New preprint! What drives tau, the pathological protein in AD, to spread?
We found that WHERE tau appears and HOW MUCH accumulates are governed by different mechanisms. Check it out:

New year, new preprint (+ last thesis paper!)

Macroscale gradients of intracranial EEG power spectra follow familiar axes: sensory-motor and unimodal-transmodal 🕵️‍♀️
Gradients show overall stronger association to distance, but multimodal information was best in transmodal areas 🧠
