Think that the #brain contains circuits for "fight and flight"? Think again. Congratulations to @AlexFischbach_ et. al on a careful and groundbreaking study. @AffectiveSciLab #Neuroscience jneurosci.org/content/44/26/…

Posting on behalf of the semi-X-less @sNeuroble !
So excited to share:
What started with fMRI effect size benchmarks ended up showing that conventional study planning detects ~half of expected brain effects, suggesting more distributed processes than the lit shows🧠

The NeuroPRISM Lab 🧠 is in the news!
The article touches on the Effect Size Explorer, the Power Calculator, and my own Local CSF Correction Pipeline — a scalable preprocessing pipeline for correcting local physiological noise in the subcortex.

Excited to share that the NeuroPRISM Lab has been awarded the @NIH_NINDS Early-Career Rigor Champions Prize!
A major accomplishment for the lab, but especially reflects the leadership of our PI, Dr. Stephanie Noble!

Had a great time presenting my work at #CNS2025. A huge thank you to my advisor @sNeuroble for helping me bring this project to life. Incredibly excited to see how well received our poster was and I can't wait to share new developments at #OHBM this June! #fMRI #CSF

Really fantastic and innovative work led by my amazing NeuroPRISM lab colleague and good friend. Congrats @ShearerHallee!
Curious if movie-watching can improve the reliability of FC from a certain brain region? Check out our Shiny App vanderlab.shinyapps.io/movie… to explore the results from our ROI-based comparison of the test-retest reliability of FC between movie-watching and resting-state fMRI.

NeuroPRISM Lab's 1st birthday (full of cake & statistically driven party games, of course)!!! 🥳🎉
Today, the lab threw a surprise Happy 1st Birthday party for NeuroPRISM lab 🥹
@ShearerHallee @AlexFischbach_ made cake, photos, & even invented a game/app to predict word use changes over time
These two are unstoppable. Thanks for making our first year a blast! 🥳

💯 My lab can’t stop talking about it & I also had an absolute blast
🙌🏽 @arokem & Noah Benson
As a bonus, we (@ShearerHallee @AlexFischbach_) ended up doing some cool stuff with EffeX Nipoppy OpenNeuro w @foldesandrei @jbpoline @michelle__wang @ashleyhmphrs . Stay tuned!
All that to say, thanks for everything @NeuroHackademy 🙂 #OpenScience #ReproducibleScience #NeuroImaging #NeuroHackademy2024
