My personal views on: physics, MRI and neuroscience - and sometimes more (or less).

I am recruiting a postdoctoral researcher and a PhD student, funded by a new ERC grant. The grant focuses on the role of the hippocampus in visual perception, using 7T fMRI (hippocampal subfields, cortical layers) and MEG+iEEG. The intended start dates for both positions are in early 2027. 🧠🟦 1/3

The #brains of #blind people reorganize differently than previously thought: a Polish-German team of researchers from the @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social & @lenastroh.bsky.social @nikweiskopf.bsky.social shows how the lack of visual experience affects the maturation of the brain. tinyurl.com/yrfa7scv

I’m happy to share that our manuscript on the cortical depth-dependency of the GE- and SE-BOLD point spread function at 7 Tesla is now available on bioRxiv! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Spatial specificity of the functional gradient echo and spin echo BOLD signal across cortical depth at 7 T

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at high magnetic field strengths (≥ 7 T) is a promising technique to study the functioning of the human brain at the spatial scale of cortical columns and ...

Excited to share our latest preprint: "Challenges in replicating layer-specificity of working memory processes in the human prefrontal cortex.”, where we attempted to replicate layer-specific fMRI findings in the human dlPFC during a working memory task. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Challenges in replicating layer-specificity of working memory processes in human dlPFC

Although working memory reliably activates the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), the functional significance of its distinct cytoarchitectonic layers is not well understood in humans. A recent f...

DCM is just a framework for estimating the statistical evidence for state-space models, which are fitted to time series data using Bayesian methods. Each model is a hypothesis. So the question is, what's the right data and models for your question. [1/5]
