Neuroimaging Lab @UMmalta - interested in many things neuro.

Our cortical surface template, onavg (short for OpenNeuro Average), is published in @naturemethods.
Onavg evenly samples different parts of the cerebral cortex, leading to improved performance of various analysis and reduced computational time. @Guo_Jiahui_ @IGobbini @haxbylab

"I think that onavg represents a methodological advancement that has broad applications across all aspects of cognitive and clinical neuroscience," says co-author James Haxby.

Our functional connectivity was inspired by @NeuroCerberus @TingsterX which was recently replicated in @jaysonjeg's preprint. https://t.co/NKNtuVsRvj https://t.co/gNdLiLL03W https://t.co/OuoSFXfFCy

Congratulations to Jeganathan et al. on their work addressing biases in fMRI surface-based analysis. Our field depends on assumptions about data, and their findings highlight critical issues.

[Jayson Jeganathan @jaysonjeg]

Do you use surface fMRI? We found spurious correlations in surface fMRI, with potentially serious implications for test-retest reliability, fingerprinting, functional parcellations and brain-behaviour associations (1/n)

Key recommendations include:
1) Using surface meshes with lower resolution than voxel data to prevent upsampling artifacts.
2) Conducting volume space analyses before surface projection.
3) Employing surface templates with homogeneous inter-vertex distances

Do you use fslmaths for image processing? In our latest publication, Rorden et al. introduce niimath, a clone that offers performance optimization, improved portability, and open licensing https://t.co/A8paK31nbI @OHBM @fMRI_today @mallarchkrvrty1

Sunday #neuromyth for you!

The Left-Brain vs Right-Brain Myth

We love tackling misinformation and getting the facts right :)

[The BOB Lab @NeuroCerberus]

This is an oversimplification - both hemispheres of the brain work together in most tasks!
