collaborating on group-level longitudinal MRI data with some missing data points. normally i use 3dLMEr but the collaborators have already (1st level) analyzed the data outside AFNI. i found other neuroimaging options: SwE, BLMM, FEMA. recommended others? warnings / caveats from experience? thx

Someone tried to "clean up" parts of voxel-wise activations with AI and the results were HORRENDOUS. Cluster shapes changed, some crosshairs moved outside the clusters, the brain underlay grew new sulci and underwent some affine skewing, etc. Goes without saying but please don't ever do this.

Have you ever felt like something was missing from your #fmri results? Have you been worried about potential reproducibility issues? Well, this new @natmethods.nature.com article with 40+ coauthors shows how the simple change to transparent thresholding helps both. Go Figure! rdcu.be/B4tikBETdQZa
A comparison of old and new thresholding approaches for fMRI data. The newer, transparent thresholding allows for interpreting context, more complete modeling, a reduction of biases and an increase in meaningful content. This all leads to more accurate interpretations and improved reproducibility evaluations.

In-scanner thoughts contribute to resting-state functional connectivity pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42365014/ I've long thought that this is the "elephant in the room" of resting state #fMRI esp. for comparing groups. If two groups think & feel differently in the scanner, of course rsfMRI will differ!
