Congratulations ✨DR. Fischbach✨!!! @alexkfischbach.bsky.social Wonderful job today, and way to lead the way as the first PhD graduate of the NeuroPRISM lab 🥳

Go team!! Loved seeing the lab share their work & learning more about the excellent (and open!) work happening across the community 🙌🏽 A special thanks to the #OHBM2026 team + SIGs for a magical conference in the midst of a serious heat wave ☀️ Until next time!

Should be a good time 😁

If you’re at #OHBM2026 and want to hear about effect sizes in fMRI, I’ll be talking about our tool BrainEffeX at 11:30 on Wednesday and a new method of modeling effect size distributions at 3:45 on Wednesday! @sneuroble.bsky.social

New team science initiative just dropped! manyscale.org We're looking for collaborators to lead repositories of self-report measures in their own psychology subfields.

ManyScale - A Home for Psychological Measures and Constructs

ManyScale will be a network of repositories for self-report measures in psychology.

How can we acquire new knowledge and skills on a daily basis while remaining the same person? I'm excited to share our new preprint led by @hyejinjadelee.bsky.social & Ally Dworetsky tackling this question, just in time for #OHBM2026: doi.org/10.64898/202... 🧵👇 #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

Functional brain organization is stable within individuals across years

Brain regions exhibit dynamic yet highly coordinated activity patterns that form large-scale functional networks measurable through resting-state correlations. While their association with fluctuating...

Thank you for an exciting time, #APS26BCN ! Both science AND tapas were fabulous. Next up: see y’all in a couple weeks for #OHBM26 #Bordeaux 🍷 🍇

🚨 New paper alert! 🎉🎉🎉 The largest meta-analysis to date on physical activity & mood in daily life is out in Nature Human Behaviour. An amazing effort led by Johanna Rehder & Markus Reichert et al. (2026)!

Another years-in-making piece, *just in time* for our symposium at APS tomorrow! Introducing a new IdioNomo Framework for blending idio & nomo models in psych & beyond. @psychonetrics.bsky.social & I are glad to finally share this conceptualization with paths & pitfalls osf.io/preprints/ps...

So glad to finally share work years in the making! What started with fMRI effect size benchmarks ended up showing that conventional study planning detects ~half of expected brain effects, suggesting more distributed processes than the lit shows (+ new methods for mass univ effect/power estimation)

Ooh looks great, congratulations!

BIN is excited to present another Seminar Series on Friday, May 15th at 12PM EST. Dr. Marcus Johnson, an Assistant Professor at Texas Southern University, will be giving a talk titled “Reimagining Brain Health Interventions: A Community-Based Approach to Cognitive Vitality in Black Men”. 🤩📝

To accompany my textbook (Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience) and the class I taught this semester, I'm open-sourcing my lectures slides: gershmanlab.com/lectures.html I'll continue to update these as I improve them.

Posting on behalf of Brendan: Common feature selection practices may capture only the “tip of the iceberg” of distributed brain–behavior relationships Specifically, typically discarded features can predict behavior just as well as top-ranked ones, yet produce diverging interpretations

Feature selection leads to divergent neurobiological interpretations of brain-based machine learning biomarkers

Speechless. Widely considered the MIT of Iran, Sharif has given the US some of its best engineers, and some of my most talented (and kind, and thoughtful) colleagues—some of whom who have chosen the US as their home.

Useful piece on AI in academic training: “The instinct[…]comes from years of failing at exactly the kind of work that people keep calling grunt work. Making the models smarter doesn't solve the problem. It makes the problem harder to see.” h/t @laurelgd.bsky.social ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma...

Food for thought regarding the tradeoff in reducing structured vs. unstructured noise when we’re dealing with subtle signals

Do you censor high motion frames in fMRI? In two preprints by @twktan.bsky.social @mandymejia.bsky.social, we find that we may be censoring too much! doi.org/10.64898/202... arxiv.org/html/2603.07... Strict censoring leads to worse personalized TMS targets than no censoring, even with high motion!
