First post, two updates 🧠 -MSc at @ox.ac.uk done! Great to share my research at #MEGUKI2026 with my new academic family, as @matsvanes.bsky.social put it -I'm staying in Oxford as a Clarendon Scholar for a PhD in Systems Neuro with @lhuntneuro.bsky.social, @carobellum.bsky.social & Mark Woolrich

Arrived at #OHBM26 with new science and lots of sunscreen in tow ☀️ Come talk to me Wednesday (12:45) and Thursday (13:45) at poster #2085 about our resting-state to multi-task comparison! By then I hopefully won’t be burnt to a crisp, but otherwise look for the lobster 🦞 @ohbmofficial.bsky.social

For nearly two decades resting-state fMRI has ruled supreme. And resting-state is suprisingly powerful. But we can do so much better by using broad batteries of tasks with the right design. Here a double-punch delivered by two papers from @carobellum.bsky.social and @basselarafat.bsky.social!

Caroline Nettekoven @carobellum.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

Are you thinking about acquiring multi-task fMRI for your study but don’t know where to start? @bassel_arafat just published a toolbox to optimally select tasks and run them in the MRI scanner - with many commonly used tasks ready to go! Check out the preprint below 👇

This study looks great - this issue has finally been getting the attention it deserves - if network architecture is ‘intrinsic’ it should say something about connectivity across tasks …

@carobellum.bsky.social really wanted to know how well resting-state correlations can predict which areas co-activate over a wide array of tasks. It turns out that you are better off running a short Multi-task battery, even if the tasks are completely different from the ones you want to predict!

Cool demonstration that using multiple tasks (diversity is important) may be more informative than resting state for uncovering individual functional connectivity patterns

Check out our new preprint! We directly tested a common assumption in neuroimaging: Is resting-state the best estimate of intrinsic organization? Spoiler: Across datasets and brain systems, multi-task fMRI did better. 👇

Caroline Nettekoven @carobellum.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

🧠 Resting-state fMRI is often treated as the gold standard for studying the brain’s intrinsic organization. But is it actually the best way to estimate functional architecture? We tested this directly. 🧵1/8

Language areas in the cerebellar mapped by @coltoncasto.bsky.social: www.thetransmitter.org/language/cer... Very consistent with @carobellum.bsky.social functional atlas, but providing deeper details. By now the "terra incognita" of the cerebellum isn't so "incognita" anymore!

Cerebellum responds to language like cortical areas

One of four language-responsive cerebellar regions may encode meaningful information, much like the cortical language network in the left hemisphere, according to a new study.
