Such a fun symposium! Thank you Andre and @jingnandu.bsky.social for bringing us together for a great #CNS2026! 🧠🍁

It was fun! Great discussion with everyone.

Wonderful time at the #CNS2026 Individual-level precision fMRI symposium yesterday with this lovely lineup. See you at the next one!

Thank you, Lauren!

Thank you, Shirley!!

🚨 New preprint: Objective Quality Assessment for Precision fMRI

Precision functional mapping (PFM) enables individual-level brain network studies — but demands more, and better, data.

We introduce an objective framework to determine when a dataset truly supports interpretable, replicable PFM.

Thank you, Adrian!

Thank you, Lin!

Thank you, Haoxue!! : )

Thank you, Ev!!

Thank you, Wendy!!

I am thrilled to share that I’ll be joining the University of Notre Dame (@notredame.bsky.social) as an Assistant Professor of Psychology this July!☘️🧠 Please reach out if you're interested in joining my lab! More details to follow soon.

Could not be more excited about Colton's @coltoncasto.bsky.social work! A deep dive into the linguistic cerebellum, and a discovery of an area remarkably functionally similar to the core left-hemisphere language areas, including in its selectivity for language. Go Colton and team!

Why do brain networks vary? Do these differences shape behavior? If every 🧠 is unique, how can we detect common features of brain organization?

⬇️ Check out this great paper by Jingnan Du et al. It shows you can use fMRI task data to estimate networks as reliably as with rest data! A game changer to increase statistical power in regions with low SNR and leverage datasets that may only have task data.

Amazing work led by Jingnan! Pooling in task and rest data can give us a lot of discovery potential like discovering hard to find networks in the thalamus (bulk of my postdoc work with Randy). Task data can be used to define networks and activations from left out runs can be investigated. Cool work!

Thank you, Rocco!

Looking forward, future data collections might consider acquiring only task data and using that data to both estimate networks and also to quantify the evoked task response from regions within those networks. (13/13)

Overall, our findings suggest that there is an underlying, stable network architecture that is unique to the individual and persists across task states. For existing datasets with both task and resting-state data, power can be increased by combining all available data. (12/13)

A single MRI session of ∼1 h in length can thus be used both to estimate precision brain networks and quantify meaningful task responses. This strategy is particularly useful in translational studies seeking to minimize patient burden. (11/13)
