Excited to present my work with Noah Guzmán and @mweber.bsky.social, "On a Geometry of Interbrain Networks" this Friday 12th, 11AM CEST for a joint Neurogeometry and @cbs-coconut.bsky.social meeting in the Wundt Room at @mpicbs.bsky.social and also on Zoom. More info: www.cbs.mpg.de/en/cbs-coconut

Simulations of time-varying brain networks modeled as weighted small-world networks with varying rewiring probability. A–D: Four examples with N = 100, mean degree K = 5, and different p, generated using Muldoon et al. (2016). E: Entropy of the FRC distribution as p evolves from 0 to 1 for N = 1000, K = 50 (note phase transition around p= 10−2). F: Corresponding quantiles of the FRC distribution. Solid curves show the median over 200 replications; shaded areas mark 0.05 and 0.95 quantiles.

I'm proud to say we are releasing LAION-fMRI, a densely sampled 7T fMRI dataset of natural images, with very broad stimulus sampling for testing countless hypotheses and for deeply exploring brain representations. The dataset is now available at laion-fmri.hebartlab.com What does LAION-fMRI offer? 🧵

LAION-fMRI - a 7T fMRI dataset of human vision

LAION-fMRI (LfMRI / LAION MRI dataset): 5 subjects, 25,052 launch-release natural images, 165 acquired 7T fMRI sessions with single-trial GLMsingle betas, retinotopy, localizers, and diffusion.

⚠️ #CCN2026 submissions close soon! → GACs, Keynotes, Tutorials & Community Events: March 31 (AoE) → Extended Abstracts: April 2 (AoE) CCN brings together cognitive science, neuroscience, and AI to discuss the computations underlying complex behavior. Submit your work now!

I recently created this overview of fMRI datasets for visual reconstruction, aimed at AI/ML people. Originally this was a 2018 post on a now inactive PhD lab blog. I had drafts expanding it for long time and thought now it's about time. RFC and feel free to share :) github.com/seelikat/neu...
