Our N≈500 paper on the neural architecture of mental imagery is out! Fun work with @timokvamme.bsky.social, @juhasilvanto.bsky.social, Massimo Lumaca and many others.
Just published in NeuroImage: What makes some people's mental imagery so vivid? We analyzed 500+ brains using graph theory on structural & functional connectomes...

The call for commentaries on our BBS paper is out now (deadline October 15): shorturl.at/Hu3Yu. In the paper (shorturl.at/4Rbk6), we provide recommendations and outstanding issues about designing experimental paradigms, analyzing data, and reporting the results of studies on unconscious processing 👇

🧠💭 Why do some people remember their dreams more than others?

In our new preprint, we used multimodal neuroimaging (qMRI, DTI, rs-fMRI) and data-driven analysis (LICA) in 258 participants (!!!), revealing unique structural and functional brain signatures linked to dream recall frequency.

Happy to share that we're continuing our work on mental imagery. This time with a short, theoretical paper.
Mental imagery is like sensory perception, but stands apart as a more complex cognitive process. It's deeply tied to introspection and shares similarity with interoception, mindfulness, and correlates with personality traits 1/2 🧵

i plan to move to Korea later this year, & will soon hire at all levels (students, postdocs, staff scientists, junior PIs) -

my lab in Japan will run till at least 2025. my job has been nothing but the dream job. but hopefully the above explains it.

Our N=273 MRI study on visual imagery is up on BioRxiv. Employing graph theory analyses, we investigate structural and functional connectomes and find that vivid imagery is supported by networks optimized for localized information transfer. #skuldnet
Why can some people conjure images in their mind's eye with stunning clarity, while others experience a blank mind? 🧠✨ Our preprint provides a look at the brain's network dynamics and how they influence visual imagery vividness. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #Neuroscience #VisualImagery
