Happy Lunar New Year to everyone who celebrates!
Periodic reminder: It’s Spring Festival in mainland China. Many researchers are on holiday while simultaneously working on major NSFC grant applications.
Responses to manuscript handling, reviews, or revisions may be delayed over the next two weeks.

A major investigation reveals that restricted genetic & brain data from over 11,000 children in the federally funded ABCD Study was misused by "race science" researchers to push discredited theories on race & IQ.

Join us this Friday for the first MCOS of this year. Dr. Sarah Genon sarahgenon.bsky.social will talk about Connectivity-based parcellation to map brain organization. #mcwg #mcos #molecularconnectivity #neuroscience
Happy New Year!
I am happy to share our latest preprint, using pretrained CNN and fMRI data in the eye ball to predict participants' gaze positions. We also showed that we can use the predicted gaze position to identify eye-movement related brain regions. #neuroscience #neuroimaging
Happy holidays!
BOLD signal changes can oppose oxygen metabolism across the human cortex, Nature Neuroscience
fMRI signals “up,” but neural metabolism might be going “down.”
In our @natneuro.nature.com paper, we demonstrate that about 40% of voxels with robust BOLD responses exhibit opposite oxygen metabolism, revealing two distinct hemodynamic modes.

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Sapna S. Mishra, Tapan K. Gandhi, et al:
Multimodal MRI reveals consistent basal ganglia and limbic system alterations in COVID-19 survivors

Nano Banana is bananas! 🍌 Just made this comic explaining some research using Gemini and the new Thinking with 3 Pro model. I only gave the abstract.
See you tomorrow.
As music flows, a woman’s eyes blink to the beat—capturing a hidden synchrony between hearing and movement that links auditory rhythm to the oculomotor system. Credit: This image was hand-drawn by lab member Yuxi Gao.
Blink to the beat! Human movements are known to synchronize with rhythmic patterns in #music. This study reveals that spontaneous #EyeBlinks also align with musical beats, linking this to brain activity, #WhiteMatter structure & dynamic attention @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/44gYBMi
We’ll be hosting a special symposium on validating brain connectivity next Friday. All are welcome to join! #MolecularConnectivity #MCWG #MCOS
New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Vicky He, David F. Abbott, et al:
Common pitfalls during model specification in psychophysiological interaction analysis
doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...
Glad to share our new study on how the timing of video features shapes BOLD responses! 🎬🧠
We also show that continuous features can be used to estimate hemodynamic response functions across brain regions. #fMRI #Neuroimaging #neuroskyence

Do you review papers? Check out Earl's @earlkmiller.bsky.social recommendations.
The one that i would emphasize the most:
jocnf.pubpub.org/pub/qag76ip8...
A method for capturing neuronal activity using fMRI excited the neuroimaging field but couldn’t be replicated. Today, the authors of the original paper retracted their work.
