Our #metaanalysis (n = 231) in JAMAPsych reveals consistent brain abnormalities across #sleep disorders involving affective and cognitive hubs in sgACC, amygdala/hippocampus Short-term sleep deprivation shows a distinct picture, affecting the thalamus jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Somehow it seems that computational models were immune to the current sample-size worries in #neuroimaging Turns out they are not 😱 DCM models and connections need 100+ subjects to give stable results New work by Alexander Silchenko & Felix Hoffstaedter: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Finally in the public 🚀 JuLearn: an easy-to-use library for leakage-free evaluation and inspection of ML models JuLearn is an open-source Python library simplifying the entry into the ML world -> design & evaluate ML pipelines without encountering common pitfalls arxiv.org/abs/2310.12568

Fantastic but very worrisome work by Sami Hamdan: Confound removal in machine learning can itself lead to leakage -> After information about the target from the features using standard approaches you can STILL predict it well academic.oup.com/gigascience/... #neuroskyence #MLSky #neuroimaging

Finally out 🎉 - our meta-analysis of 403 neuroimaging studies on language (3/3) Quite some functional specialization in subcortical areas, too. This and many more details can be found here: psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202... Paper is open access !!

Finally out 🎉 - our meta-analysis of 403 neuroimaging studies on language (2/3) We ended up discovering truly subdomain-specific brain areas in spite of substantial covergence Functional specialization was most pronounced in the cortex but we also found considerable cerebellar effects

Finally out 🎉 - our meta-analysis of 403 neuroimaging studies on language (1/3) In addition to providing robust evidence on the engagement of classical language regions during language tasks, we also investigated the processing of linguistic subdomains: semantics, syntax, phonology and pragmatics!

A main goal of our institute is to provide open software & resources - DataLad (data-management) - JTrack (mHealth / wearable suite) - JuLearn (user-friendly ML library) - ANIMA (meta-analyses results) - JuSpace (MRI-PET integration) - many more... Full catalogue: www.fz-juelich.de/en/inm/inm-7...

Pitching skeptical views on #neuroimaging and machine-learning at the rating-state Brain conference. That meeting fully reflected my split feelings at the moment. The conference was stimulating, meeting colleagues was fun and discussions exciting. But travel is simply annoying

Interested in research data management, git-annex and DataLad Need to get your #neuroscience data organized? Need to deal with distributed data, provenance tracking or pipeline management? Join us at distribits in Düsseldorf - easy travel & great beer fosstodon.org/@distribits/...

Actually, emotion and cognition may not be so separate after all. There are phenotypic correlations and a shared genetic component. Anatomically, the key zone of convergence seems to be the superior frontal cortex. More details: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

What a tour de force on personality factors, brain health & #neuroskyence: www.nature.com/articles/s44... Includes relationship with multiple diseases, analysis of modulating factors and #neuroimaging Large sample and long follow-up. But why use items as proxies rather than actual Big-5 scores?
