"[F]rom the 1940s to the 1970s, a Bell Labs job was said to be just like working at a research university, except the pay was better, the equipment was more up-to-date, the machine shop was available for all your needs and you didn’t have to spend time teaching or applying for research grants."
Sometimes I think about how from 1935-1975ish, Bell Labs produced an insane amount of revolutionary science and technology, including 11 Nobel Prizes, the transistor, UNIX, C, the laser, the solar cell, information theory, etc. The secret? Provide scientists with ample, steady, no-strings funding.

Big news!

I loved researching and writing this book, which is all about shedding the shame, and getting really curious about urges to pick, pull and bite.

I can't wait to share it with you! It's out on April 2nd, and is available to pre-order now.

Thinking about physical space, the cortical surface and brain function. In cartography, different flat projections of the globe are used for different functional purposes (e.g., navigation, measurement, radar) each projection transforms space in different ways to achieve that purpose.

Looking for automated brain extraction tools that are:

- Quick and easy to install.
- Without "ugly" dependencies (big toolboxes, containers, matlab, etc).
- Easy to use.
- Quick to run (1/2 minutes).
- Not ROBEX, SynthStrip or FSL's BET (we already tested those).

Bluesky, do your magic!

Thanks!

Not the least bit bothered by pearl-clutching over social media filter bubbles or echo chambers. People use social media for all kinds of reasons, and "interacting with hostile dickheads" isn’t one of mine. Honestly, in today’s political climate, I don’t see much value in unmoderated debate anyway.

Last week, NeuroImage invited me to join their team as Associate Editor, providing me an opportunity to put some perspectives into writing. I declined and clarified why. Here is the exchange as I wanted to share more broadly. www.thebrainblog.org/2023/11/23/i...
I was recently invited by NeuroImage to (re)join the editorial team as Associate Editor (?!)
After a bit of a hiatus, I'm finally back to putting out in blog form what I find interesting in the world of brain imaging. I like the idea of keeping up a more regular pace in putting out incomplete...

Somebody asked me if I had plans for the fall. It took me a minute to realise she meant "Autumn" and not "The Collapse of Civilisation."
