Today Iranian regime executed a 24 years old protester who was arrested 75 days ago. His name was Mohsen Shekari. This regime clearly murdered this young man to terrorize protesters in the street. We’ve got to stop this, otherwise we are next.

I started designing the fMRI task in 2015 as a toy project as part of my K award. It was supposed to be an easy low hanging fruit. After three rejections, two graduate students, and two comprehensive revision we are still saying the same thing. doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage…

Celebrating three abstracts submission to SfN this year. After 2.5 years of craziness, I'm proud of my lab for catching up quickly. Excellent Job Guys ;-)

Very nice n=1 study. Stable and high cognitive function over 13 visits/ 6 years in a 96 yrs old, despite neuropath revealing intermediate level Alzheimer, Lewy bodies, neurites, TDP-43 . And he had cancer. No simple brain path - cognition correspondence. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Positive and negative BOLD are affected differently by aging and beta amyloid deposition among cognitively normal older adults.

I completed the review of a paper. It took me ~5 hours. And a lot of mental effort. In the middle of a pandemic, where every second and ounce of energy is valuable (parents of little kids, you know what I mean). And I did this for free. OA fees or paywalls don't pay for this.

Education does not seem to influence rate of brain change in aging, only offset. Our latest Lifebrain paper finally out, very happy with the joint efforts from the team pnas.org/content/118/18/e210…

I'm so proud of David B. Parker, who just publish the final part of his PhD dissertation in MRM almost two years after his graduation despite having 5 first-authored and 4 co-authored papers already. Well done David, Well Done :-) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Lab’s latest, "The functional relevance of task-state functional connectivity", shows task connectivity changes from resting state contribute to cognitive activations. Network simulations (activity flows) predict empirical task activations. A 🧵 doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.06.1…

The recent exclusion of Iranian students from @neuromatch is extremely upsetting. The organizers did and continue to do the very best possible under the circumstances. But a few reflections are pertinent especially as we celebrate #4thofJuly (1/n)
Replying to @neuromatch
Please see our full statement on NMA's involvement with Iranian residents. We know this change to our program is upsetting news both to those directly impacted and to supporters of global science in general. We have tried to offer full transparency on it. neuromatchacademy.github.io/…

I don’t know how many times we need to hear this, to realize that a single fMRI scan currently contains more than 1M samples. This is bigger than big data, and you can find anything you want in such massive and extremely noisy data.... medium.com/the-spike/seventy…

... And yes even if it is from a dead salmon. It’s not the fMRI that has problems, it’s our minimal understanding of brain function and the extremely sensitive methods that we use to analyze it which causes these findings. Just as my 2 cents šŸ˜”
