Had a great time at the MEG Nord conference in Aarhus, Denmark presenting the latest work of @pandonaude.bsky.social and myself on the cerebellum in Parkinson's disease, which is more than just basal ganglia. Poster: laumollerandersen.org/poster.pdf Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧠📈

MEG Nord returns to Aarhus, Nov 26-28, inaugurating our new OPM lab! Keynotes from @olejensen.bsky.social, James Bonaiuto @danclab.bsky.social, Sophie Scott; sessions will feature both group leaders + early career researchers. Registration & abstract submission now open: cfin.au.dk/meg-nord-2025

📈🧠 We're looking for brains! 🧠📈 Postdoc + PhD positions are available to help pioneer fetal MEG with optically pumped magnetometers, measuring prenatal responses to sound and light to understand how we start making sense of the world even before we're born. 🐣 Please get in touch to hear more!

Our open-access article - Testing circuit-level theories of consciousness in humans - together with Yunkai Zhu, Carolina Fernandez Pujol, @dvwz.bsky.social, @jonescompneurolab.bsky.social, @tmarvan.bsky.social, and @danclab.bsky.social, was just published @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social.

So great to see so much OPM-MEG showcased at #FITNG2025! Come see my own contribution demonstrating fetal OPM-MEG with visual stimulation responses at poster P2-H-96. We plan to take this much further in the next few years, also happy to chat about the postdoc or PhD position we have available!

👋 FIT’NG Member Spotlight! Sarang Dalal, Ph.D. is a professor and #FITNGmember at Aarhus University in the NEMOlab. His research interests include Fetal MEG, OPM-MEG, and early visual pathways. 🧠

Dr. Margot Taylor is giving an inspiring talk about how to expand the frontiers of neuroimaging in toddlers with wearable OPM-MEG (Optically Pumped Magnetometer - Magnetoencephalography) 🧠 @sickkidsto.bsky.social #FITNG2025

Wonderful to see fetal OPM-MEG developing nicely. Congrats to Chiara Capparini for a wonderful talk and her young investigator award! #FITNG2025

Fetal, Infant, & Toddler Neuroimaging Group—FIT’NG@fitngin.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Just now in the Methods session: Dr Chiara Capparini presented a hot topic at #FITNG2025: OPM-MEG for fetal imaging!

Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date. We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400. Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

We fed cows the ground-up remains of other cows. We got BSE. Now we're feeding LLMs the ground-up outputs of other LLMs. 🤷‍♀️

Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis@trackingactions.bsky.social · last yr.

Because the internet/documents in the last ~1.5 years have been flooded with LLM generated content… so much of the “new data” is AI generated. It was clear this would happen TBH

On this day 2y ago we announced our move away from the huge profits that NeuroImage makes for Elsevier. Things at Imaging Neuroscience have progressed fantastically thanks to the support for this move by the brain imaging community and @mitpress.bsky.social. 565 papers published already!

striking to me that this interview ends with him plaintively pleading for other university leaders to speak up: "I don’t think this is all about Princeton. It’s about what’s happening in the United States. I think this would be so much stronger if many more of my fellow presidents were speaking up."

Josh Braun@joshbraun.bsky.social · last yr.

I greatly appreciate everything that Christopher Eisgruber says in this interview, but, more than that, it's increasingly a relief to hear someone in a position of authority willing to be sane in public. #academicSky #eduSky www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/p...

Neuropeeps! Is there a list somewhere of the intramural neuroscience researchers @ NIH who have lost their jobs? If not, could you reply to this thread or hit me up on Signal (tverstynen.64) if you happen to know of specific people? Please boost if you don’t mind.

Justin Brannan, a Democratic City Council member who’s running for city comptroller, is leading an effort to have the city pensions divest completely from Tesla holdings worth an estimated $1.2 billion, @elizabethkim.bsky.social reports: gothamist.com/news/divest-...

NYC pensions have more than $1B in Elon Musk’s Tesla. Justin Brannan wants to divest.

Brannan is running for city comptroller against Mark Levine, the Manhattan borough president, in what many expect to be a competitive race.

But how about when a specific CEO's actions unleashes politics on *you*? When he attacks not only the ideals and core mission of your institution, but also directly threatens its overall financial health? When those actions even threaten your investment in his company, or your employee's pensions?
