To enable broad adoption, we provide an open-source, lightweight, publicly available processing tool for deriving ∆R2* from standard fMRI datasets, enabling scalable investigation into basal ganglia neurophysiology and its contribution to neuropsychiatric risk across the lifespan.
🚨Preprint Alert🚨
Our new preprint 'A Scalable fMRI Estimate of Basal Ganglia Brain Tissue Iron for Use in Developmental and Translational Neuroscience' is live!!

Congrats!!! Going to be one of most the exciting clinical neuro labs 👀
📣 📣 I am beyond excited to announce I will be joining the Yale Dept. of Psychology as an Assistant Professor in July 2027!
Deepest gratitude to my colleagues and mentors, without whom this would not have been possible.
More to come—I'll be recruiting students and hiring staff this coming year!
This is awesome work, love the mDES approach!
Of the new additions: How many task trials are needed for a reliable reward response? Note how our Figure 3 very much mirrors the amount of time needed for reliable RSFC edges reported by others (e.g., Gordon 2017) pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Thank you to the constructive reviewers!
Precision reward/affect fMRI study out now in HBM! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
@dvsmith.bsky.social @olinotom.bsky.social @coopersharp.bsky.social and @shenghanwang.bsky.social
Intensively sampled task + rest fMRI data with behavioral manipulation openly available on OpenNeuro!

The CANDLab at Yale is hiring a new full-time research assistant! Excellent opportunity to gain post-bacc experience before applying to PhD programs in child and adolescent clinical psychology and neuroscience. 🧠 candlab.yale.edu/sites/default/files/downloads/YaleCANDLab_RA_2026.pdf
New preprint from the lab! Led by @martingell.bsky.social .
There is something for everyone: brain-behavior prediction, latent variable modeling, test-retest reliability. 🧠📈📊
"Disentangling Brain-Psychopathology Associations: A Systematic Evaluation of Transdiagnostic Latent Factor Models"
Brain scans do not help here
Congrats Cleanthis!!
Congrats!!
Ah, now seeing the binary answer in the manual page..
Thanks for sharing! Do variables have to be binary or categorical? (Also, do you have a recommend background reading?)
Was wonderful to meet your group, thank you for inviting me!
Many thanks to @mattmattoni.bsky.social for presenting his interesting work in persons vs. people neuroscience this afternoon at @unirdg-cinn.bsky.social
Read Matt's wise and varied papers: scholar.google.com/citations?hl...
Psychologists writing the most complex sentences in history is fine, but we draw the line at utilize.

New paper & a thread on the results 👇
‘Reward-specific learning parameters change across normative adolescent development and are blunted in youth with high risk for depression’
acamh-onlinelibrary-wiley-com.ezp3.lib.umn.edu/doi/full/10....
This is an awesome paper
Update: now it feels personal
In the big 2026 can we agree to not require a seperate document for all these items that are already in the manuscript file
Check out this cool new experimental study by Jonas Dora, et al on the effects of negative mood ☹️ and alcohol intoxication 🍺🍸on reinforcement learning!!
@olinotom.bsky.social for your next spooky multivariate class
I was fortunate to write this paper with some of the smartest and most courageous folks in any room:

🆕 New open neuroimaging dataset released!
I’m happy to share that our Naturalistic Neuroimaging Database (NNDb3T+) is now publicly available! NNDb3T+ captures rich, multimodal brain activity in a naturalistic setting with 40 participants and over 160 hours of scanning!
Why do brain networks vary? Do these differences shape behavior? If every 🧠 is unique, how can we detect common features of brain organization?

We focused on fMRI studies of 🧠 networks… but there’s so much more neat idiographic work being done in other neuroimaging & psychology domains! See @mattmattoni.bsky.social's recent review for more thoughts on uniting these perspectives

New work led by @mattmattoni.bsky.social
“Overall, results suggest that BOLD activation to reward tasks, and likely other fMRI tasks, is more appropriate for within-person study than between-person study, highlighting a need for intensive longitudinal neuroimaging designs.”
Big thanks to the team, particularly David’s lab to get this study done with a highly reproducible and open workflow! We hope the dataset is of interest to others and are very excited to see where precision imaging goes next! Data can be found on OpenNeuro: openneuro.org/datasets/ds0...
