In this preprint, we concurrently fit the HRF alongside pRF parameters doi.org/10.1101/2025...

- HRF varies between visual areas
- HRF also varies with pRF stimulus designs (due to nonlinearities?)
- Esp. when fitting complex models this can skew results a lot!

Happy to announce my first postdoc preprint at @bathellierlab.bsky.social on offset responses in the auditory system! We found although these responses are found throughout the central auditory system, they provide richer information about elapsed sounds in the auditory cortex.

Sound offset responses become highly informative in the auditory cortex
The entire auditory system downstream of the cochlea features pronounced offset responses, which follow the termination of sounds. Because of their ubiquity, it is still an unsolved question whether o...

On this day 2y ago we announced our move away from the huge profits that NeuroImage makes for Elsevier.

Things at Imaging Neuroscience have progressed fantastically thanks to the support for this move by the brain imaging community and @mitpress.bsky.social. 565 papers published already!

Remember the whole #narps (www.narps.info) splash?

We are very interested in how to utilize the multiverse in neuroimaging. Because no matter how we process biological data, if we do something reasonable, the underlying results shouldn't change too much - because biology doesn't change, right?
