This is such a fantastic resource and paper! @benjaminkay.bsky.social has unrivaled tenacity for seeing this awesome project through!

Check this out and give him a follow for some of the most thoughtful, statistically rigorous, and well-executed clinical neuroimaging around.

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!

✨✨ New paper out in JPSP! ✨✨

Despite rich theory on links between temperament and personality, they're rarely studied together. This has left major unaddressed questions.

We tackled these questions by looking at how temperament and personality develop together from ages 10-26.

Brain changes linked to childhood maltreatment are among the field's most published findings. Yet, we find extensive replication failure of gray matter correlates in three large cohorts (N=3225), consistent across subsamples, models and operationalizations🧵

Haha yes. Totally agree with your sentiment and was extrapolating to my takes in reverse with neurostuff like why would x psychology dimension related to y neuroscientific property strongly. Glad to hear I am not alone 😎.

In contrast alternative dimensions might be better to link across modalities (though of course maybe we don't measure things well enough for that to work out well :-)). Neurocentric, but some cool takes on this brain-behavior space pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

A general point that nags at me: why wouldn't multi-method agreement be hard? IMO it seems likely that any theory- or data-driven identification of constructs in a given modality might be reasonable for description/prediction within that modality but have poor correspondence across modalities.....

For me, this work is a classic @ohbmofficial.bsky.social story: In 2023 I wasn't working with @bttyeo.bsky.social but I overheard him at his poster pointing to some accuracy curves saying "I don't why they have this particular shape". That kicked off the collab that led to these results.

Thomas Yeo @bttyeo.bsky.social · Jul 17

3/11 Tom's model explains empirical prediction accuracies well across 76 phenotypes from 9 resting-fMRI & task-fMRI datasets (R2 = 0.89), spanning many scanners, acquisitions, racial groups, disorders & ages.

Does this mean that we should collect large datasets with short scans?
