Thrilled to see this work published @NatureComms! This research brings us closer to understanding the intricate relationship between the #brain and #cognition. Excited to see where this leads! 🔬🧠 #Neuroscience #CognitiveScience
🔥 Our new paper reveals a 3D #morphospace mapping the #brain’s functional universe 🌌rdcu.be/dVyJG! Using meta-analytic data, we can #predict unseen #functions & decode #neural activity during movie-watching 🎬. Just the beginning of exploring #human #cognition! A 🧵
👀 AHEAD OF PRINT 👀 #Language in the #brain isn’t limited to isolated regions—it’s a #dynamic #network of #cortical, #subcortical, and white matter #pathways. A new collection of studies mapping the #language #systems is coming out in @BrainStrucFunc 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Such an important award and piece to read that highlights the many structural inequalities and racial biases in our current neuroimaging (neurotechnology) methods. These are global challenges, which are particularly pervasive in neuroscience research in Africa.
🎉 Congratulations to Jasmine Kwasa, winner of the 2024 NOMIS & Science Young Explorer Award for her work in addressing the underappreciated racial and phenotypic biases in neuroimaging methods by developing new, inclusive medical technologies. bit.ly/40E7E9o
