New preprint from the CPPlab - our first 7T MRI study How does sound reach the occipital cortex in early blind people? Using 7T VASO layer-fMRI, here the first functional sub-mm dataset in blind people to test if auditory motion engages hMT+/V5 layers via feedforward or feedback lnk.ua/kjYccwS9Y 🧵👇

Have you ever felt like something was missing from your #fmri results? Have you been worried about potential reproducibility issues? Well, this new @natmethods.nature.com article with 40+ coauthors shows how the simple change to transparent thresholding helps both. Go Figure! rdcu.be/B4tikBETdQZa

In this blog post I am exploring the strange tension between rigor, reach, and recognition in modern science. What we gain (and lose) by just publishing the PDFs: thingsonthings.org/just-publish...

The result of a large (42 authors!) collaboration: "Go Figure: Transparency in neuroscience images preserves context and clarifies interpretation" arxiv.org/abs/2504.07824 TL;DR: The FMRI world can (and should) improve results interpretation and reproducibility *today*, via transparent thresholding.

The layer-fMRI field has changed since the pandemic: -> studies are larger -> majority uses 3D readouts -> a bit more sharing -> majority uses non-BOLD contrasts
