Our #metaanalysis (n = 231) in JAMAPsych reveals consistent brain abnormalities across #sleep disorders involving affective and cognitive hubs in sgACC, amygdala/hippocampus

Short-term sleep deprivation shows a distinct picture, affecting the thalamus

We are looking for a community manager and development coordinator for DataLad !!

The full description with contact info is at: files.inm7.de/mih/position...

Announcing the first BrainHack at the DGKN meeting next month !!

After being a staple at OHBM, this will be the first hackroom at a German (clinical) neuroscience meeting

Enjoy the spirit of open science with tutorials, hackathons and an unconference

🔜 Join us in Frankfurt

Somehow it seems that computational models were immune to the current sample-size worries in #neuroimaging

Turns out they are not 😱

DCM models and connections need 100+ subjects to give stable results

New work by Alexander Silchenko & Felix Hoffstaedter:

Finally in the public 🚀

JuLearn: an easy-to-use library for leakage-free evaluation and inspection of ML models

JuLearn is an open-source Python library simplifying the entry into the ML world -> design & evaluate ML pipelines without encountering common pitfalls

arxiv.org/abs/2310.12568

Fantastic but very worrisome work by Sami Hamdan:

Confound removal in machine learning can itself lead to leakage

-> After information about the target from the features using standard approaches you can STILL predict it well

Finally out 🎉 - our meta-analysis of 403 neuroimaging studies on language (3/3)

Quite some functional specialization in subcortical areas, too.

This and many more details can be found here: psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Paper is open access !!

Finally out 🎉 - our meta-analysis of 403 neuroimaging studies on language (2/3)

We ended up discovering truly subdomain-specific brain areas in spite of substantial covergence

Functional specialization was most pronounced in the cortex but we also found considerable cerebellar effects

Finally out 🎉 - our meta-analysis of 403 neuroimaging studies on language (1/3)

In addition to providing robust evidence on the engagement of classical language regions during language tasks, we also investigated the processing of linguistic subdomains: semantics, syntax, phonology and pragmatics!

A main goal of our institute is to provide open software & resources
- DataLad (data-management)
- JTrack (mHealth / wearable suite)
- JuLearn (user-friendly ML library)
- ANIMA (meta-analyses results)
- JuSpace (MRI-PET integration)
- many more...

Pitching skeptical views on #neuroimaging and machine-learning at the rating-state Brain conference.

That meeting fully reflected my split feelings at the moment. The conference was stimulating, meeting colleagues was fun and discussions exciting. But travel is simply annoying

My (likely) last paper in Neuroimage:

A systrematic evaluation of ALE meta-analyses for morphometric data, i.e., Anatomical Likelihood Estimation.

Interested in research data management, git-annex and DataLad

Need to get your #neuroscience data organized?

Need to deal with distributed data, provenance tracking or pipeline management?

Join us at distribits in Düsseldorf - easy travel & great beer

Actually, emotion and cognition may not be so separate after all.

There are phenotypic correlations and a shared genetic component. Anatomically, the key zone of convergence seems to be the superior frontal cortex.

What a tour de force on personality factors, brain health & #neuroskyence: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Includes relationship with multiple diseases, analysis of modulating factors and #neuroimaging

Large sample and long follow-up. But why use items as proxies rather than actual Big-5 scores?
