New open access paper with @drmack.bsky.social! 🎉 The menstrual cycle has non-linear effects on pattern separation as measured by the mnemonic similarity task (MST). Perceived stress facilitates pattern separation performance independent of the menstrual cycle. t.ly/k6Pul

Thrilled to share our latest work on the importance of considering social identities in brain imaging research, now out in @natureneuro.bsky.social. rdcu.be/d4XWM

Visual highlighting how sociodemographic identities influence brain, behavior, and brain-behavior relationships.
Figure caption: key goal of research in the brain sciences is to capture relationships between the brain and behavior. When studying these brain–behavior relationships, it is crucial to recognize that sociodemographic factors, such as sex, gender, race, ethnicity, education, religion, spirituality, health, language, environment, age and socioeconomic status (among others), can independently and interdependently influence these reciprocal associations.

#Neuroimaging crowd, hear me out! 👀 Did you ever want to add #EyeTracking to your #fMRI study but found it too much hassle? Got existing data you’d love to add eye tracking to? Consider trying out *MR-based eye tracking* (i.e. inferring gaze from eye voxels)! Here is a 🧵 with a few options!👇 1/9

A thread... Lab’s latest at PLOS Comp Biol, led by @carrisacocuzza.bsky.social: “Distributed network flows generate localized category selectivity in human visual cortex”. This one changed how I think the brain works! Even "localized" functions are likely generated by distributed processes [1/N]

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

Pinning our recent (open access!) pub here too: Using a novel non-linear method, we demonstrate that the menstrual cycle affects learning of exceptions to category rules in a manner that parallels the typical rise and fall of estradiol across the cycle www.nature.com/articles/s41...
