OHBM trainees, let's get creative! 🎨
Together with Brain Art SIG we are launching the Sticker Design Competition. Design a sticker featuring the SP-SIG logo!
🏆 Winning design will be distributed at the OHBM 2026 meeting in Bordeaux.
📅 Deadline: May 1, 2026
👉Details and submission: bit.ly/4caXG3m
My new chapter of Better Code, Better Science on AI-assisted coding is now complete! It's been completely revised in an attempt to futureproof it. Comments welcome. bettercodebetterscience.github.io/book/ai-codi...

So thrilled to see our pre-print online. This was an incredible team effort and I am so proud to have been part of this amazing study, special thanks goes to @nickywhiffin.bsky.social and @gregfindlay.bsky.social for their mentorship. Go check-out Nicky's thread hereunder:
TL;DR: Brain morphometry at 64mT (= 0.064T) is very much feasible. Perhaps most interesting is the fact that the dataset -> ~ T1w & T2w scans x (4 resolutions x 2 Hyperfine Swoop 64 mT scanners + GE 3T scanner) x 23 adult participants = 390 scans -> is openly available: openneuro.org/datasets/ds0...

🚨 New Preprint 🚨
Targeting intracranial electrical stimulation (ES) to network regions defined within individuals causes network-level effects
By Cyr et al.
***
Q: Can we use individualized network maps from precision fMRI to modulate a targeted network via intracranial ES?
A: Yes!

Hi world - its been a hard year with #cancer meaning I missed out lots of fun things. It would mean a lot if you checked out my new album of tracks. Out on all platforms including #Soundcloud (free). Let me know which tracks you like and a special prize if you work out the two levels to the project
Hello Scientists. If you want a glimpse of the future, why not check out the new album by Natural Philosophers With Attitude. Science radio has never been this good. Please give it a spin and share it with your science friends.

Come to Neuroimaging Statistics at @OHBM, June 20-21! The Keith Worsley lecture will be given by Michael I. Miller, keynote lecture by Paul M. Thompson, and many other talks from the interface of statistics and neuroimaging. Registration free but required sites.google.com/view/neuroim...
For years we have tended to discount activation signals in the white matter as artifact. It's becoming clear now that this was a mistake - white matter shows stimulus-driven activation similar (though much smaller) to gray matter. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37824529/
Brain Connectivity Workshop recordings (& schedule) are online – including short talks and extensive discussions, focused on connectomics and mental health. | It was a stimulating meeting, and Wellcome were a wonderful co-organiser and host! | Enjoy: www.wellcomeevents.org/wellcome/fro...
