Ever wondered if your interesting brain-behavior correlation was over- or under-estimated due to head motion, but were afraid to ask? We’ve created a motion impact score for detecting spurious brain-behavior associations, now available in Nature Communications!

Serious concerns about a new cortical biomarker for pain sensitivity

jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

We (with @tspisak.bsky.social, @christianbuchel.bsky.social) published a commentary on Chowdhury, Bi et al. (2025, JAMA Neurology) raising serious concerns about their reported results.

AI performance is known to scale with logarithm of sample size (Kaplan 2020), but in many domains, sample size can be # participants or # measurements...

After some time since completing my Master’s thesis, I’m excited to share that our work has now been published! It’s rewarding to see the project come full circle and contribute to the field alongside a fantastic team.

Using a transdiagnostic framework, we found that brain network dynamics were able to discriminate individualized psychiatric symptom profiles with high accuracy 🧵1/9👇

When I first started working with resting state fMRI as a postdoc, there was a lot of skepticism about what we could learn from it. 20 years later, it's hard to imagine where the field of neuroscience would be without it. Here's a summary 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🏁 Big news from #Cogitate!🏁

We’re proud to deliver the first part of our promised open multimodal dataset:
iEEG data from 38 patients across 3 centers, collected under a unified protocol.

📄 Paper: doi.org/10.1038/s415...
📀 Data: www.arc-cogitate.com/data-release
💻 Code: github.com/Cogitate-con...

Great work! I wonder (and I guess you deliberately avoided this discussion 😬) what implications this has for fMRI, especially "connectivity", analysis. Do we want to remove this signal, if so, is standard global signal regression sufficient, or does this make the case for dynamic GS regression?

First post on an exciting new manuscript online today @natneuro.nature.com - in collab with @lucinauddin.bsky.social and Catie Chang. We take a fresh look at the physiological dynamics associated with the global signal 🧠 ...

Bluetorial-A dream and a bit of a nightmare

Serving as Editor-in-Chief at Science was fascinating. I greatly enjoyed working with talented and committed editorial, news, graphics, and production staff. But the inside look into scientific publishing and AAAS was also deeply disillusioning.

🎉 New Year, New Preprint.

Happy to share the first preprint from my #PhD! 🧠

🤔 TL;DR:
Our findings are relevant to anyone using EEG / MEG functional connectivity analyses. They affect the choice of method when analysing your data.

A New Year's rant, for 2025 😊:

The effect of spherical projections on spin tests for brain maps | biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Spin tests are the de facto null model for map-to-map comparisons in brain imaging. Why don't they perfectly control false positives? @vincebaz.bsky.social explores ⤵️

The limiting factor for MRI based prediction of behavioral traits may be neither the imaging nor the pipeline or learning algorith but rather the reliability of the target phenotypes

Thought provoking work my Martin Gell et al:

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

New paper out today in PNAS 🎉 demonstrating:
1) an association between social disadvantage & child brain function can be observed as early as birth
2) these alterations are brain-wide, but most pronounced in functional networks & subcortex later linked to childhood adversity

doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Three ManyBabies projects - big collaborative replications of infancy phenomena - wrapped up this year. The first paper came out this fall. I thought I'd take this chance to comment on what I make of the non-replication result. 🧵
