Join the Connectome 2.0 Dissemination Workshop on June 3, 2026, 9 AM-4 PM EST at the MGH Martinos Center. Learn about ultra-high gradient MRI, diffusion MRI, connectivity, and microstructural imaging using the Connectome 2.0 scanner. Program details: connectome2.martinos.org/2026-workshop/

My first PhD project has finally taken shape and is now available as a preprint after 3 years! We found a feedback signature in V1 during Troxler perceptual filling-in using 7T layer-fMRI. Please check it out ;)) doi.org/10.64898/2026.…

If you are setting up the meso-veins protocol for the first time at your 7T (doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…), you should wath this video where I am providing the most up to date pointers. As well as the tips on quality controlling your images: youtu.be/57URvSjUYRY

Interested in understanding your high-res data better? @ofgulban enhanced LayNii IDA with some very useful QA and interactive viewing tools. In the last LayNii release. youtu.be/ipzCT57C7NE

New LayNii v2.10.0 is out! github.com/layerfMRI/LayN… 🚀 LN2_FRISGO: This program mitigates the Fuzzy Ripple artifacts in dual polarity 3D-EPI fMRI data. 💾 Big data ready: Now handling >5GB NIFTIs to support the mesoscopic shift toward high-res, whole-brain images. @layerfMRI

Yesterday, @ofgulban gave a great talk about efficient imaging of small veins. It was inspiring. Impressive how much information is there waiting to be harvested. youtu.be/7wStzJNUXic?si…

Happy to share that our new preprint is now available! Digging into our previous dataset, we found a feedforward signature in FFA during passive face image presentations, suggesting face information is structured prior to FFA. Please find more details in the manuscript 😁
