Epic individual cerebral cortical networks paper.
Excited to share our new preprint on within-individual organization of the human cerebral cortex (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) w @LaurenDiNicola @pangeli95 @NoamSaadon @xueaihuiping @bttyeo Wendy Sun, Stephanie Kaiser, Joanna Ladopoulou, Mark Eldaief and Randy Buckner Summary (1/10)
1/11 Excited to share our @Naturestudy led by @Leon_Oo1 @csabaorban @ZShaoshi doi.org/10.1038/s41586… It is well-known that AI performance scales with logarithm of sample size (Kaplan, McCandlish 2020), but in many domains, sample size can be # participants or # measurements...
🚨Thrilled to share the Transdiagnostic Connectome Project, a new open dataset in Scientific Data! @HolmesLab_BHI @bttyeo @SidChop 🧠 fMRI + >50 behavioral measures 📊 241 participants across psychiatric diagnoses 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4159…

This just out in biorxiv! Human sleep and activity norms in relation to self report of sleep and mood across age and sex
How We Sleep Changes With Age—And It’s Not Linear. - Women sleep more—until later life - Weekends = ~50 min more sleep - Daily activity declines with age biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Drs. Michelle Patriquin, Justin Baker, Shu Buckley, and Mya Shiess will dive into "The Data Science of Sleep" on October 10th at #AIHC23 to uncover how #Sleep quality can impact your #MentalHealth and mitigate health issues. Claim your seat at aihealthconference.com.
We used intensive longitudinal assessment to study the interaction between mobility, social activity and loneliness in individuals with severe mental illness during COVID-19. @valeritweety @jponnela @lisabdixon @dost_ongur @rschutt nature.com/articles/s4153…

This is great for students of mental health from other disciplines such as computer science.
Register today! @NIMHgov kicks off its 75th-anniversary celebrations on Sept. 13th with a symposium, “Evolution of Mental Health Research.” 🥳We’ll highlight key advances in mental health research over the past 75 years. go.nih.gov/3wVopjC
Looking forward to being on this inaugural team to help find a good home for manuscripts using computational approaches in psychiatry. Submissions are open now!
Dr. Justin Baker @JustinBakerMD is the Senior Editor who handles manuscripts focusing on computational approaches. He is an Assistant Professor at @harvardmed, scientific director of @tech_in_psych, and leads the Functional Neuroimaging and Bioinformatics Lab @McLeanHospital
This viewpoint summarizes a project launched by @NIMHgov, @wellcometrust, @iamhrfand, & journals to improve measures used in mental health research. We need input from the research community & those with lived experience about the initiative's direction. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…
Looking forward to @acii_conf in a few short weeks at @medialab. Register by Aug 18!
Traditional psychiatric care relies on subjective assessments, which hinders personalized treatments. How can affective computing help in understanding and treating mental illnesses better? Join Dr. Justin T. Baker's keynote at #ACII2023 to learn more: acii-conf.net/2023/program/k…
Submit your poster by August 15! TIPS is a great venue for students/researchers to network with colleagues from academia and industry. Don't miss your chance to be a part of the conversation at this year's poster session in Tampa, FL on Dec. 1. #TIPS2023 tips.societyconference.com/v2/
🧠Neuroimaging peeps🧠 our field is blessed with beautiful visualizations. Our preprint provides 3 tools to help move toward code-based & replicable visualization: 📗practical guide (why should I?) 📦package selector (which one?) 🏗️code template generator (how do I start?) 👇🧵
A 22-year-old follower recently messaged me asking for career advice. Here are the 5 pieces of advice I shared: 1. Swallow the Frog: This is one of the greatest "hacks" to get ahead early in your career. Observe your boss, figure out what they hate doing, learn to do it, and…
