Cusack lab

We study what infants are thinking and what they are learning.

[Rhodri Cusack @rhodricusack]

Join us!! PhD and postdoc positions in infant neuroimaging.

How does the human mind develop? The Foundations of Cognition (FOUNDCOG) project has acquired the largest cohort of awake infant fMRI to date, with 134 infants at 2 months old.

[Áine T. Dineen @AineDineen]

Excited for our symposium Emerging Methods of MRI in Infants and Young Children at Flux next week!! Join us to learn about the intricacies of scanning challenging young cohorts from sleeping neonates, to awake infants, to clinical MRI in older children without general anaesthesia

Today’s keynote speaker was @rhodricusack, whose talk ‘Using neuroimaging and deep learning to understand brain development in helpless young infants’ made the 9am start worth it. We also loved learning about the recent work of the FOUNDCOG project. #LCICD

[Flux Society @FluxSociety]

Interested in emerging methods for MRI in infants & young children? Come to the Flux 2023 symposium led by @rhodricusack to hear from @MINDLabVTC, @AineDineen, @CameronTEllis, & @melanieganzben1 about their work in this area!

[Rhodri Cusack @rhodricusack]

JOB ALERT! Join our team as a postdoctoral research fellow in infant neuroimaging. You will run analyses on an fMRI dataset from 100+ infants scanned at 2 and 9 months, with the aim of understanding typical development and generating diagnostic methods for neonatologists.

[Leonardo Dalla Porta @ldallap1]

Do we have a list of Labs that apply DL in neuroscience? Does someone know? @jmourabarbosa @heikecstein @_rdgao @NunezKant @dlevenstein & others (feel free to @ +)

Thanks for visiting us, having you in Dublin as a Cusack Lab member was great! Best of luck for your future ✨🙇‍♀️(We were hugely impressed by your origami skills)

[Hiro Hagihara, PhD @hagiharahiro]

I've safely arrived in Japan! Tadaima! I had a great, amazing time in 🇮🇪 w/ @cusacklab members at Trinity College. Thank you!

Although I didn't tweet "Hiromichi in Dublin" since Dec 7, it definitely doesn't mean that I lost interest in Ireland. Rather, I love Ireland very much!
