Glad to sharing our new paper addressing timing issues between video features and BOLD responses during movie watching. And we showed that deconvolution can be done using continuous feature time series as inputs to derive hemodynamic response functions (HRFs).

Happy Lunar New Year to everyone who celebrates!

Periodic reminder: It’s Spring Festival in mainland China. Many researchers are on holiday while simultaneously working on major NSFC grant applications. Responses to manuscript handling, reviews, or revisions may be delayed over the next two weeks.

Wow AI is so amazing we should use it for all our scientific diagrams

A major investigation reveals that restricted genetic & brain data from over 11,000 children in the federally funded ABCD Study was misused by "race science" researchers to push discredited theories on race & IQ. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

Happy New Year! I am happy to share our latest preprint, using pretrained CNN and fMRI data in the eye ball to predict participants' gaze positions. We also showed that we can use the predicted gaze position to identify eye-movement related brain regions. #neuroscience #neuroimaging

fMRI signals “up,” but neural metabolism might be going “down.” In our @natneuro.nature.com paper, we demonstrate that about 40% of voxels with robust BOLD responses exhibit opposite oxygen metabolism, revealing two distinct hemodynamic modes. rdcu.be/eUPO8 funds @erc.europa.eu #neuroskyence 🧵:
