Reposted by @handle.invalidJörn Diedrichsen @diedrichsenjorn.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I will miss #OHBM2026 this year, but if you go make sure you see these four amazing posters from current and former members of the lab ! 1147
handle.invalid @handle.invalid · 23/03/2026The MultiTaskBattery toolbox is live: 20+ implemented tasks, object-oriented design and a battery optimizer built in!

handle.invalid @handle.invalid · 23/03/2026How you arrange your tasks also matters more than you’d think. Interspersing all tasks in every run lets you compute all contrasts within-run and leverage resting baselines across runs. Grouped designs force noisier between-run comparisons. 120
handle.invalid @handle.invalid · 23/03/2026Multi-task batteries can parcellate entire brain structures. But they're only as good as their tasks. We derived a data-driven task selection criterion (Minimal Collinearity) that outperforms others for parcellation & connectivity. 56 task maps released for battery optimization. 131
handle.invalid @handle.invalid · 23/03/2026We tested both on cerebellar language mapping. Same subjects, same scan time. Multi-task: 2× spatial consistency across individuals, and it cleanly separates language from neighboring working memory regions that the single-contrast kept pulling in. 161
handle.invalid @handle.invalid · 23/03/2026Single-contrast localizers have been the workhorse of functional mapping — simple & effective. But to isolate a coherent region or study region size, multi-task is preferable — assigning voxels by what they respond to, not how strongly. Threshold-free and robust to data quality. 140
handle.invalid @handle.invalid · 23/03/2026You have 10 minutes of task fMRI to map functional brain regions in an individual. Three decisions matter: How do you localize regions? Which tasks do you include? How do you arrange tasks in your experiment? Here, we tackle all three! Preprint👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...biorxiv.org 13214
