Portable MRI opens up neuroimaging to Indigenous populations that have been neglected or inaccessible in the past. Shana Birly, Angela Teeple and Judy Illes discuss ways researchers can bring a holistic worldview to #neuroimaging research. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Practice improves #task performance, changing task execution from rule- to memory-based processing. This computational #neuroimaging study shows how the brain learns to perform a task more efficiently with a cost-benefit analysis that selects the optimal strategy #plosbiology https://plos.io/3Ct1jDQ

How do network modules in the human #brain develop? #Neuroimaging of functional #connectome maturation during #childhood & #adolescence in >300 children reveals its overlapping architecture, associated with structural properties @HeLabBNU #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3MQ8sje

Selective attention helps us overcome our brain's limited processing capacity, but how? This #neuroimaging study shows how #SelectiveAttention transforms #memory representations to reduce interference and support long-term memory #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3Sa9eKO

At #ICIS today legendary brain scientist Patricia Kuhl was raving about sensors based on Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamonds. they could revolutionize Magnetoencephalography (MEG) by offering high sensitivity at room temperature, reducing costs and complexity. The future of brain activity mapping looks bright! #Neuroimaging #QuantumSensors #MEG #ScienceInnovation

Should I stay or should I go? Animal studies suggest the hypothalamus helps switching between survival behaviors (hunt vs escape). @fearlab &co use #neuroimaging & computational modeling to show that the #hypothalamus also modulates switching between survival actions in humans #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4bq8JmH

I am presenting this poster at BNA2023, Brighton. It highlights some findings from preliminary work on how sensory processing slows down with age.

Using biologically-plausible models of the cortex on a large (N=632) neuroimaging dataset, this line of research work attempts to zoom in and dissect possible mechanisms of age-related slowing.

Why neuroenergetics is brain stuff?

In my lab, we study the #neuroenergetics of the human connectome with multiscale brain imaging.

We have so many unsolved questions :
How is energy distributed across the cortex and spent on higher cognitive functions? What are most expensive signaling pathways and mechanisms?

My lab is split between FAU and TUM (two best ranked German universities in case u didn‘t know yet ) and we use the following neuroimaging methods:

- functional and quantitative imaging on 7T MRI at FAU
- quantitative, molecular imaging on an integrated PET/MRI-scanner at TUM

The group at TUM is funded by an ERC-grant and i will start a new lab as Full Professor for multiscale neuroimaging at FAU in 2023.

Since I moved to a new server an #introduction

I am the director of Spinoza Centre for Neuroimaging (@spinoza), group leader at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and professor at Utrecht University and Vrije University Amsterdam.

My research is centered on the intersection of #perception, #cognition and #neuroscience. The ultimate goals are to understand the neurophysiology of the visual system, and how neural computations result in visual perception and cognition. My research reconstructs perceptual representations of the human brain using #behaviour, #computational models, #neuroimaging (predominantly 7T fMRI), and custom-built biologically-inspired data-analysis methods (for example the pRF method).

I'm enjoying #mastodon and exited to see it grow so quickly!

We are looking for an Experienced #MATLAB Software Developer to work on the #hMRI Toolbox (https://hmri.info) with us at MPI-CBS in Leipzig (https://www.cbs.mpg.de/en) and international team inc. @LukeJoelEdwards @MR_Siawoosh and others not on #mastodon.

#introduction

Hi,

I am a #physicist and #neuroscientist who tries to bring both fields together in #neuroimaging.

I direct the Dept of Neurophysics at the #MPI for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (https://www.cbs.mpg.de/en). Our main tools are #MRI, #histology and #biophysical #modeling for in-vivo histology (#hMRI) and ultra-high resolution #fMRI.

Excited to see #MastodonScience growing so quickly

This is my personal account and my posts/toots are just my personal views.

Just moved to neuromatch.social, so here it goes (again), #introduction :

Hi everyone, I'm a last year undergrad in #Neuroscience & #ComputerScience at McGill. I'm doing #ComputationalNeuroscience research in the Baillet Lab at The Neuro (MNI), focusing on whole-brain dynamical models of coupled neural masses calibrated to #MEG #Neuroimaging data (more details @ https://neurolife77.github.io/ if anyone is curious).

I am also the VP of the #MachineLearning committee at PharmaHacks, a hackathon that blends #Biology & #DataScience with a focus on #Pharma.

------------------------ Bonus ------------------------

Since I have the space to put it in the same post now, thanks to the freedom in post length from this new server, here's a bonus:

I regularly share links to preprints that catch my attention and tag them with: #arxivfeed

I started doing this because I thought that the arxiv bots on mastodon were not super efficient, but after doing it for about a month I'd say it's also a good way to keep some form of history of my nightly exploration of the literature in my fields of interest. I usually share stuff about #ComputationalNeuroscience, #Neuroimaging, #DynamicalSystems, #MachineLeaning, #ArtificialIntelligence, etc.

Disclaimer: I usually only read the abstract or skim through them at the time of posting.
Disclaimer 2: I am definitely not consistent.

#introduction time: I'm a cognitive neuroscientist, mum and associate prof who is passionate about research! I investigate #emotion, #motivation and #decision making in the #brain using #neuroimaging, #computational models and a new #neurostim technique that uses transcranial #ultrasound. I started the Modes (=Motivation, Decision making and neuroStimulation) group this year. We are located at the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging at #Oxford (group website coming soon!)

The Canine Brains Project has finally joined Mastodon! Here's our #introduction!

We are scientists from Harvard's Hecht Lab who are studying dog #neuroscience and #behavior. We are interested in how #genes, #neuroanatomy, #dogtraining, and lifetime experiences shape dogs' minds. We also study how dog brains and behaviors #evolve.
