Joining ComCom has been a fantastic way to integrate with and contribute to the OHBM community - Come help us out if you can spare just a few hours a month!

[OHBM @OHBM]

Interested in doing #scicomm with OHBM? The Communications Committee (ComCom) is looking for volunteers!

ComCom members produce the #Neurosalience podcast, manage the OHBM blog, write articles for the public, and more.

Kolumne: Es wäre schön, wenn gewählte Volksvertreter, unsere Angestellten also, deren Lebensunterhalt wir finanzieren, aufhören würden, uns alle ständig der Faulheit zu bezichtigen. Das ist weder „liberal“ noch wird es etwas nützen. Es ist nur unverschämt. https://t.co/RjVGOVEd0Q

What’s your preference when it comes to risk?

Are you a risk-seeker, or are you risk-averse?

Have you always been?

Risk preferences are often described as like personality traits…

…idiosyncratically different between people, but largely stable over time.

Oliver Hulme just posted this absurdist video abstract and a 21-tweet thread with the latest results of our @DRCMR_MRI-@LdnMathLab collaboration, supported by @novonordiskfond.

Sound on. Enjoy!

Signal strongly opposes this proposal.

Let there be no doubt: we will leave the EU market rather than undermine our privacy guarantees.

This proposal--if passed and enforced against us--would require us to make this choice.

It's surveillance wine in safety bottles.

Weil sich der Unsinn mit den "Pull-Faktoren" hartnäckig hält: Die @faznet am Sonntag hat sich das genauer angesehen. Ergebnis: Selbst Parteien, die von Pull-Faktoren sprechen, haben keinerlei Belege dafür. Und die Wissenschaft sagt: Wir auch nicht.

Good news! The blue 🟦 place sci-twitter invite pool has now been simplified to a single sign-up form, and currently has a surplus of invites available! Judging by the 300 new followers I gained today, it is a good time to join :) https://t.co/lonkK7P3m9. .

Great work by @NeuroObi and @jindou1024 on publishing the Python version of the mTRF toolbox @JOSS_TheOJ.

(1/10) Excited to share our new preprint examining cross-species sex differences in brain anatomy in humans and mice:
“Comparative neuroimaging of sex differences in human and mouse brain anatomy”

Hello from the Communications Committee! We had a blast at #OHBM2023 and hope you all did, too 🚀

What does the Communications Committee (ComCom) do? Read on to find out 🧵

[qMRI in Neurodegeneration Conference @qMRIconference]

🔔Save the date! 📢Nov 29-Dec 1, will be the second qMRI virtual conference! 🤩This year our keynote lectures will be centered on the theme of validation of qMRI metrics. We are looking for trainees to submit abstracts for 10 minute talks, the deadline is October 15th ⤵️

[YF Yang- @ufangyang.bsky.social @ufangyang]

Absolutely thrilled to receive the funds from @FU_Berlin to hire a research assistant in the upcoming semester! If you or anyone you know is interested in working on #EEG/ #Eyetracker, facial expressions, human gaze, individual differences, or Cyberball, please DM me. ☺️

[Iris van Rooij 💭 @IrisVanRooij]

While this (X-)site is not dead yet, let me boost this announcement 🙃

[Alfie Wearn @AlfieWearn]

❗️#OHBM2023 - Interested in how we assess individual differences in human brains? Come to today's discussion which will be recorded for the #Neurosalience OHBM podcast!

I'll be chatting with @esfinn @Enri_amico @ALuisaPinho and @TimLaumann1

See you there! Room 513 at 12:30 ❗️

[Elisa Guma @elisa_guma]

If you're interested in sex differences in brain anatomy across species (humans and mice) come check out my poster @ 12:15 - 14:15 / #962. #OHBM2023 @bogglerapture

[Dr. Angie Laird ❤️‍🔥 @phyzang]

Holy wow, a spectacular tour de force by @emilyjacobs at #OHBM2023! 🎉🎉🎉“Dynamic endocrine modulation of the nervous system”, or “women’s bodies are NOT an elective”. Indeed.

Receptive field mapping for parameter spaces of cognitive models? Come by my poster 169 during poster sessions 1 & 2 (Sun, Mon) at #OHBM2023, where I present our initial work on mapping voxel wise learning rates of a reinforcement learning model to the brain. @OHBM
