Stunningly well done study. Direct neuronal activity imaging with MRI. They nailed it. Practical limits but all manageable. Added feature of visualizing depolarization AND hyperpolarization too.

Over the past year, I have started a podcast: Brain Experts. Here is a brief summary as well as some nuts and bolts of how it got off the ground and a list of podcasts so far.

Starting a Podcast: NIMH Brain Experts Podcast

About a year or so ago, I was thinking of ways to improve NIMH outreach - to help show the world of non-scientists what NIMH-related researchers are doing. I wanted to not only convey the issues,...

If you need to learn something related to human brain imaging methods, chances are Andy has made a tutorial about it. He's doing an amazing service to the field! Fun conversation!

@saraannhart Make figures first and keep text super simple. Minimize jargon and clearly define and explain all terms and concepts. Make the point of the paper clear in the abstract, intro, and conclusion. Figure legends stand alone as many just look at the figures. Always try to add insight.

I'm really excited for the opportunity to host this and for wonderful work of the production team! We look to highlight topics, issues, findings, and people. If you have an idea for an episode, please let me know! I'm having a blast discussing all that OHBM is about!

Seong-Gi's group is perhaps the best in the world to the replicate DIANA experiment, but unfortunately, the results were negative even at higher field and a more continuous anesthesia protocol. Lots of great discussion ensued between us, and we helped write a paper.

99 years of fMRI experience. A fun trans-Pacific collaboration with late night zooms. But we couldn’t reproduce DIANA fMRI. Read about our attempt here. Comments welcome!

Just back from the High Field workshop at the University of Minnesota CMRR. View talks here... layer fMRI, novel sequences, hardware, new models for neurovascular coupling, DIANA (The author of DIANA, followed by mine on negative results), and much more!

Having fun today testing out our new local head gradient coil from Brian Rutt. 3-axis, torque balanced, insertable in 20 minutes, max gradient 120 mT/m, max slew 1200 T/m/s. Now it's on one of our GE 750's but this could be really useful at 7T and upwards.

Important paper and definitely appreciate how clearly written it is. Throw that task data in with the resting state scans...intrinsic connectivity measures are improved.

Latest preprint from @NeurogenDuke We investigate the relationship between scan time and reliability of intrinsic connectivity in 3 samples and demonstrate that adding task fMRI data to short resting-state scans boosts reliability and predictive utility.

It was an honor to be interviewed! As I have a hard time watching myself, I can say that I think it went well and that I said a few useful and interesting things! Having taken place in Singapore, I'll blame jet lag for anything too nonsensical or controversial.

Super interesting paper. Brings to light the past controversy of BOLD contrast without clear neuronal activity. Is this additional activation attention, arousal. Is it related to the "global signal?" what are the mechanisms?

fMRI study by @zviroth @elimerriam characterizes hemodynamic response in early visual cortex that is unrelated to visual input but instead reflects engagement in a task, is modulated by expected monetary reward, & may reflect neural quenching #PLOSBiology
