‼️NEW PREPRINT‼️

What if you could take a normal 3T T1w MRI and make it look like it was acquired from a 7T scanner?

That's exactly what we do using AI in our new preprint!

Imaging cortical layers to understand brain as network organ
This spatial scale, bridging cells and brain areas, has been overlooked in human brain research. But advances in fMRI technology are changing that.

Transdiagnostic thinking could accelerate autism science
Our tendency to focus on one condition at a time likely silos expertise and services—and obscures critical connections across diagnostic categories.
