Great piece by @jonathanjarry.bsky.social on the descent of Sabine Hossenfelder, from science communicator to contrarian outrage-monger www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/...
Sabine Hossenfelder Asks If Science Is Dying. It’s Not.
Physics is dying. It’s mathematical fiction. Science is failing. Most of academic research that your taxes pay for is almost certainly bullshit. I don’t trust scientists. Would you believe me if I tol...

This finding suggests a novel and efficient strategy of using only task-based data to estimate networks within an individual’s own anatomy as well as estimate the task response within those networks. (9/13)

By pooling extensive resting-state and task data, we were able to triple the amount of data available for analysis within each individual, enabling precise mapping of five higher-order association networks within the thalamus. (6/13)

Amazing work led by Jingnan! Pooling in task and rest data can give us a lot of discovery potential like discovering hard to find networks in the thalamus (bulk of my postdoc work with Randy). Task data can be used to define networks and activations from left out runs can be investigated. Cool work!
Our new paper is out now in Neuron! 🎉 With @vaibhavtripathi.bsky.social @maxwellelliott.bsky.social Joanna Ladopoulou, Wendy Sun, Mark Eldaief, and Randy Buckner

So true. It's my fourth week of teaching here, I am still struggling before every class.
I'm playing a game with myself called "let's see how long I can live in denial about the new semester starting".
My first teaching day is next Thursday.
Perhaps I should work on my syllabus...

Glad to share that our study on the brain dynamics during rhythmic breath-based meditation is finally published in npj Mental Health Research. Here, we studied EEG on Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) practice on 43 subjects.

My 1st first (co)author paper is up on BioRxiv!
How does functional connectivity in the human cortex differ during visual and auditory working memory (WM) tasks? Do those changes correlate with behavior? We take a stab at some answers:
