I love having been alive long enough to be able to see how what I learned 20 years ago as cutting-edge understanding of a disorder or brain function is now old hat, a given; the hypotheses are now different because we've gone SO MUCH FARTHER in our conceptualizations and data about it. 😁🧠

so we're playing around with different posterior cingulate seeds in the same dataset and learning a heck of a lot about how the Default Mode Network will "change" depending on exactly where you put your seed. Fascinating to see, but I don't know what to DO with it! 🫥

I think this one is still under review somewhere, but I wanted to highlight Kyle's work on it. Given reproducible ICA patterns from 100,000 resting state fMRI datasets, what do we call them all? That was a lot of work!
