The latest cool developments from @ofgulban.bsky.social. This is going to help layer-fMRI researchers (and others) to get a closer look at their data.
New in LayNii v2.9.0: Introducing *LayNii IDA*, a high-performance tool for real-time interaction with ultra–high resolution MRI data. Built for speed, designed for discovery. Still early, but a big step toward the next era of 7T fMRI: higher resolution, larger datasets.

Idea of "predictions" is natural enough (how could it be otherwise?) but the emphasis on constructing models of the world is not persuasive. And the Bayesian motivation is way too vague imo.
