New Open dataset alert:
🧠 Introducing "Spacetop" – a massive multimodal fMRI dataset that bridges naturalistic and experimental neuroscience!
N = 101 x 6 hours each = 606 functional iso-hours combining movies, pain, faces, theory-of-mind and other cognitive tasks!

Releasing a NIfTI Quick Look tool compatible with macOS 15+. This is necessary since Apple significantly changed those frameworks and broke the (legendary?) Gary Zhang's old NIfTI plugin.
