New version just posted: "Extracting interpretable signatures of whole-brain dynamics through systematic comparison" @AnnieGBryant
(w/ improved null testing, explicit performance comparison, additional robustness checks (including against age/sex, …)
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Latest preprint by incredible @AnnieGBryant
Multivariate time series are studied across neuroimaging (fMRI, MEG, …) but how can we best extract the most relevant dynamical patterns in a given dataset? FC (Pearson or alternative)? Local dynamics (fALFF or alternative)? Both??👇

YIKES! Don’t do this. Data from vital registrations - births, deaths, marriages - are crucial to a whole range of data and allocation needs. Privatising this public good is a governance nightmare with major legislative headaches. theage.com.au/politics/victo…

🧠Big news, little brain 🧠
I’m excited to share our preprint introducing our hierarchical cerebellar atlas!🎉
We fused many fMRI datasets into a comprehensive map of the cerebellum - and created a new resource for localizing and interpreting data.

The @Neuro_Desk manuscript is published in @naturemethods.
Neurodesk is not only awesome for science, but also for #teaching, even of inexperienced students! I had the great pleasure being the first to use it for teaching #neuroscience at @UOW. Questions? Drop me a line.
