Thanks. I am glad we agree that the replication discussion was not about VASO then. Kenshu Koiso (movies + newly faces/places), Insub Kim (orientation), Daniel Haenelt (ODC) compared MVPA across contrasts. Their results agree with you on vein effects in MVPA BOLD. No 🌌 left, DM 4 🔗.

layerfmri.bsky.social @layerfmri.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

Fully agree. There was a slide on one of the layer-fMRI educationals at OHBM trying to get an overview of the layer field. Attention (or what people call it to be) seems to be the least reproducible effect in the field.

layerfmri.bsky.social @layerfmri.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

It's not so easy. It depends, if reduced sensitivity is coming from removing fasle-positive vein signals. VASOs sensitivity to micro vessels is not bad and often used for MVPA Wasn't the replication issue in that study discussed wrt segmentation issues. If at all, VASO's T1 contrast helps with that

Happy to see this out: our new preprint shows that laminar GE-BOLD fMRI decoding isn’t immune to vascular draining biases. Simulations reveal false positives due to multivariate signal spread across layers, but oversampling + deconvolution can (sometimes) improve specificity.
