This project finally wrapping up 👇!!! 40+ mice, 5 different cell types of calcium recordings, 1006 EPIs…. All done simultaneously, of course ;) What a journey this was!! As usual… 🐭 🧲 🧠

Really proud to share this w/ @francimandi.bsky.social from the Lake lab: we applied fingerprinting in a simultaneous wide-field fluorescence Ca2+ imaging and BOLD-fMRI dataset in mice!

Multimodal identification of the mouse brain using simultaneous Ca2+ imaging and fMRI - Communications Biology

Using simultaneously acquired wide-field fluorescence calcium imaging and BOLD-fMRI, subject-specific signatures are observable in the mouse connectome, with stronger individual specific patterns evident in the calcium data.

When you want to gather some of the mouse people from ISMRM and more than 20 show up…you ditch a sit-down dinner, buy beer at 7/11 and go talk about science on the beach!!

Recently had the last piece of work from my PhD published, only took 2.5 years or so. Check it out here! Thanks to @coreyhorien.bsky.social @francimandi.bsky.social @toddc.bsky.social

Identifying dynamic reproducible brain states using a predictive modelling approach

Abstract. Conceptually, brain states reflect some combination of the internal mental processes of a person, and the influence of their external environment. Importantly, for neuroimaging, brain states...
