Our micropublication from the Impact Scholars Program is finally live on the interwebs!

This wouldn't have been possible without the one and only @barbaramu.bsky.social, the @neuromatch.bsky.social academy, and our amazing team!

Parallel GNN-LSTM Model Predicting Working Memory Involvement during Language and Emotion Processing

Working memory (WM) is a core cognitive system, strongly associated with the prefrontal cortex (PFC), crucial for task-relevant information storage and processing, serving as the main “relay” for high...

Biological Psychiatry @biologicalpsych.bsky.social · 15d

In this review, @lucinauddin.bsky.social and Hugh Garavan examine how task and resting-state fMRI can reveal brain-behavior relationships in youth, highlighting current controversies and challenges, outlining solutions, and proposing future directions in developmental neuroscience research.

Task and resting state fMRI modelling of brain-behavior relationships in developmental cohorts

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data are often used to inform individual differences in cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric phenotypes. These so-called “brain-behavior” association stu...

Dear Student,

It has been wonderful to see you grow from a lab novice into a thoughtful experimentalist. The results you have generated rob me of sleep because I am so excited thinking about the potential that lies in them. Science can be exhilarating! (1/4)

The code is open though."

Now getting chased by a publisher to sign an AI 'addendum' for my first book so it can be used etc. No, as in no thank you and goodbye, and no additional royalties % is going to change my mind on that. Funnily enough they don't really say how to opt out.
