Once upon a time I just admired nudis and sea slugs. But it was not enough. Now apparently I'm creating an R package to celebrate their colour palettes? 😅 First up, my Sydney fave, Hypselodoris bennetti. #rstats #nudibranch #dataviz 🦑🐙🧪 #marinelife #invertebrates

Inter-individual variability of neurotransmitter receptor and transporter density in the human brain | doi.org/10.1007/s004... How do neuroreceptor distributions vary across people?

Excited to share newly minted PhD Anu Korukonda's tour de force thesis work describing the impact of pathogenic tau on #locuscoeruleus function in a mouse model of early #Alzheimers. A must for #BlueSpot researchers! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/3

📢Maths in the Brain Workshop 2026 in Melbourne. We will bring together researchers across Australia with a shared interest in understanding the brain from a quantitative perspective. This year's keynote is delivered by Professor James Cole, University College London. 1/4🧵

The extended version of my thesis procrastination project/subcortex visualization package is out now in both Python and R, now that I’ve graduated 🤠 This figure shows the 9 atlases included (and counting)! Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Website: anniegbryant.github.io/subcortex_vi...

My very normal, by the book presentation from this years OHBM is now available. So if you weren't at OHBM, were there but happened to miss it, or if you did see it and just want to relive it all over again, here is your chance :) I'm quite fond of this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP86...

New preprint: "Identifying statistical indicators of temporal asymmetry using a data-driven approach" arxiv.org/abs/2511.15991 _Can we statistically distinguish the forward- versus reverse-time dynamics of a system from a finite time series?_

🎊Ain’t no party like a thesis submission party🎊 Honored to have submitted my PhD as a recipient of the Paulette Isabel Jones Career Development Award from The University of Sydney! Thank you x1000000 to MVP supervisor @bendfulcher.bsky.social & co-supervisor @macshine.bsky.social 😊

#OHBM2025 was a blast -- the perfect way to celebrate submitting my PhD thesis with y'all 🎉 It was an honor (and so fun!) to represent the Aussie imaging community alongside a fab panel in the LOC Symposium, sharing my final thesis work on homotopic connectivity: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New preprint! Why are long-range connectomic interactions in the cortex dominant in shaping dynamics in some experiments but apparently negligible in others? We (w/ R Maran, @elimuller.bsky.social) address this question by studying a new hybrid model of cortical dynamics. arxiv.org/abs/2506.19800

‼️ATTENTION‼️ Social night is tonight 8pm at Paddo Tavern!! Come for a relaxing night and unwind after a brain stimulating day! 🫠 All are welcome!! #OHBM2025
