Why do brain networks vary? Do these differences shape behavior? If every 🧠 is unique, how can we detect common features of brain organization?

It’s officially out! Check out the manuscript for more on the effect size web app, led by the truly indefatigable @halleeshearer.bsky.social and featuring so many contributions from this team, esp MINDS Lab via @dscheinost.bsky.social
Excited to share our manuscript about BrainEffeX, a tool for exploring fMRI effect sizes. Includes why we made it, how to use it + contribute, and how we made it.

I can't recommend this fantastic new review from @valeriejsydnor.bsky.social enough! It does an amazing job of synthesizing the current state of the literature and then looking forward to provide a fresh perspective on how to move this work forward in humans. Check it out!

Truly heroic work by the stellar @cieslakmatt.bsky.social + the HBCD dMRI working group team. Refactored QSIPrep + QSIRecon is the result of nearly 3y of concerted development + testing. It will be a total workhorse for HBCD -- and almost any other dMRI scan. Check it out for your data!!!

POSTDOC Opening: I'm hiring a postdoc to work with me, @ayeletlandau.bsky.social, and Yuval Benjamini on a 4-year NSF funded project to understand timing and memorability in the visual system. fMRI, EEG, eye-tracking all included.

If interested, please DM or email me for more information!
Thanks to NSF and BSF, we've received a CRCNS grant!! 🎉

I'll be working with the amazing @ayeletlandau.bsky.social and Yuval Benjamini to explore and understand how our sense of time and image memorability are linked. ⌛🧠

We have 2(!) post-doc opportunities available - details coming soon!
