We started this as a “small side project” just to check what's what and expecting it to be wrapped up in about 3 months tops. 3 years and about 7 billion in-silico lesions after, the VOR is finally out in @eLife: elifesciences.org/articles/101780

Deadline for this funded PhD to work with me and @DuncanAstle is soon! 26 July. The student must be a woman (because the studentship is based at Newnham College Cambridge) and eligible for UK home fees.

Not sure which measure of network coupling to use in your fMRI analysis? Peep our latest PP led by K Pavlovich with @jchrispang comparing 10 different FC (+1 DCM) metrics in terms of robustness to motion and sensitivity to brain-behaviour correlations: tinyurl.com/yc3x68yv

This study establishes how aperiodic activity develops in localized brain regions and illuminates the development of prefrontal control during adolescence in the development of attention and memory. @cross_zachariah @NUFeinbergMed @NorthwesternU nature.com/articles/s4156…

I'm hiring a @ARIA_Research funded position at @imperialcollege @ImperialEEE. Broad in scope + flexible on topics! Exciting projects on intersection of neural networks & new AI accelerators, from a HW/SW co-design perspective. Join us 🚀: imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-jo…

Hi folks, do you know someone in Lebanon or MENA into human data + ethics? There’s a summer school (Sept 7–11, 2025) in Deir al Qamar 🇱🇧 on fair, meaningful data use, especially for those facing barriers to global academic exchange: sites.google.com/view/levanteco…

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Nikitas C. Koussis, Michael Breakspear, et al: Generation of surrogate brain maps preserving spatial autocorrelation through random rotation of geometric eigenmodes

Not all mammalian brains were created the same. The granular prefrontal cortex, an area appearing the novo in primates is wired for mental representations and precise executive control of the rest of the brain. Very important ground-breaking work 👇 cell.com/cell/abstract/…
