What can we do with functional MRI data? For many years, fMRI has been used to discover population-level patterns of brain function, organization and connectivity, and to understand differences in t...

Transparency matters when reporting results in neuroimaging! arxiv.org/abs/2504.07824 This could be a landmark in setting publishing standards for interpretability/reproducibility. Stellar work by @afni-pt.bsky.social @fmri-today.bsky.social @brightmg.bsky.social @gangchen6.bsky.social et al.
Opaque thresholding hides information: context around statistically significant clusters is removed, treats subthreshold regions as having no activity. Transparent thresholding shows information: context around significant clusters is displayed, can observe relative importance of subthreshold regions.

2024 was the first full calendar year for Imaging Neuroscience @mitpress - 350 papers published.

We're proud of how the brain imaging community enthusiastically embraced open access non-profit publishing. Our aim is to be *your* journal.
