Is there anything more exciting than a new facility ready for research?

Last week, we were thrilled to sponsor the Brain Quantum Imaging conference and tour the new OPM-MEG @ Charité Berlin. Sensors from FieldLine, MSR from IMEDCO, and VPixx peripherals

#VisionScience #OPM #MEG #Neuroscience
Hey #visionscience community! Will we see you at the BQI in Berlin next week? Our team will have a table and a talk during the sponsor talks session on Wednesday the 22nd. We'll be showcasing our new tools for making Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT) stimuli. See you there!

We're thrilled to share that LabMaestro Pack&Go now has integration with Sona Systems recruitment platform!

You can now run undergraduates and grant course credits as reimbursement for your online experiments.

Our friends at Sona have written a handy walkthrough:

We used @vpixx.bsky.social's PROPixx for high-speed video projection to reproduce the lawful saccadic conjunction of speed/duration/amplitude in a moving stimulus, and assessed observers’ ability to see the stimulus’ motion by asking them if the stimulus moved with an up- vs downwards curvature. 7/n

We're working on a RIFT demo for our high-level experiment design software, LabMaestro.

Want to skip the formatting and use RIFT in a plug-and-play format? LabMaestro's got you covered. Stay tuned for the official demo release!
Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT) uses the 1440 Hz PROPixx projector to evoke brain activity with *invisible* high-speed flicker.

Hey Bluesky! Curious about the difference between how LCD and DLP projectors behave? Want to see what our PROPixx temporal response profile looks like at high speeds?

There's a (brand new) VOCAL for that: docs.vpixx.com/vocal/tempor...

Between-movie variability severely limits generalizability of "naturalistic" neuroimaging.

Not sure about the (over)generalization to all of naturalistic neuroimaging, nor the claim that this severely limits the approach.

But definitely provides food for thought.
Between-movie variability severely limits generalizability of “naturalistic” neuroimaging
“Naturalistic imaging” paradigms, where participants watch movies during fMRI, have gained popularity over the past two decades. Many movie-watching studies measure inter-subject correlation (ISC), wh...
