We've just published a small opinion piece in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, arguing for the under-estimated utility of resting state neuroimaging data, given exciting new methods to analyse it. Work led by @loopyluppi

ASSC29 starts today in Santiago, Chile!
We kick off with registration from 8:30–17:00 and four tutorials from 10:00–13:00.
Opening Ceremony begins at 15:00, followed by Lucia Melloni’s keynote, Kia Nobre’s Presidential Address, and the Welcoming Reception.
Welcome to #ASSC29!

Our paper just out on how emergent group behaviour can solve a complex task, and make people feel more connected in the process, in Collective Intelligence: shorturl.at/xDKBv

New preprint out, where we show that neural complexity (CSER) tracks fine-grained perceptual clarity within wakefulness: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

We have a new preprint! Alzheimer's patients have a radically different neural informational signature compared to healthy controls, suggesting diminished consciousness, and a skewed cognitive profile. Mammoth, and important, work, spearheaded by @KeenanDown
Happy to announce this new preprint!
In it, we use info decomp (ΦID) on fMRI in Alzheimer's and MCI to explore how info-dynamic representations change.
AD saw big decreases in synergy ('deductive' information) and increases in redundancy.
Find it here👇

How do some people keep their minds sharp when they get older, while others experience cognitive decline? In our new paper, we examined cognitive reserve, which is the brain’s resilience in the face of challenges: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #neuroscience #cognition #aging 1/7

Exciting news! Our preprint, "Informational Complexity as a Neural Marker of Cognitive Reserve", is now available! Here, we explore how neural complexity relates to cognitive reserve. Check it out here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #CognitiveReserve #Preprint #Neuroscience

(🧵) ELECTION THREAD: I’ve been waiting all night to say anything substantive about what’s happened, as I felt—I still do—that I might say something I’d regret.
I hope you’ll consider following along as I try to process this with you all, and try to do it responsibly. Please RT.

How do you compare different types of (PID) information across complex systems (e.g. brains)? We have a new robust method to do this! See preprint, with @_fernando_rosas @RCarhartHarris @rhizoqualia and @PedroMediano arxiv.org/abs/2410.11583
