I just finished a new blog post: "Twenty-six Controversies and Challenges in fMRI" summarizing some of the more interesting ones over the years. thebrainblog.org/2018/12/23/twe…

Notes on functional MRI and related topics.
- Stunningly well done study. Direct neuronal activity imaging with MRI. They nailed it. Practical limits but all manageable. Added feature of visualizing depolarization AND hyperpolarization too.
- With profound sadness I report that Leslie Ungerleider, an immensely influential neuroscientist, my colleague and mentor, and 2020 OHBM Glass Brain Awardee has passed away today.
- @vdcalhoun and I wrote a rebuttal to a surprising editorial in Brain (Brain, Volume 143, Issue 4, April 2020, Page 1045). I post in my blog what we submitted. thebrainblog.org/2020/05/22/def…
- This is clearest explanation I have heard of the Free Energy Principle - and from Karl Friston himself no less! serious-science.org/free-energy-pr…
- Last weekend, the NIH functional MRI facility received a second 7T. Excited to see what it will produce! Special thanks to @neurocuriousity and our core team for seeing this through!
- 30 years ago today, Eric Wong and I performed our first successful fMRI experiment. I wrote a paper some time ago describing that exciting time. Feeling grateful for all my colleagues and the serendipitous circumstances.
- Developing two podcasts on "what has fMRI taught us about the brain" and "what are the current and future clinical applications of fMRI." Interested in any thoughts, insights, references, links, or people to include in the interviews!
- It’s happening now! Our 11.74T human magnet is being rigged in! Thanks to Sean Marrett for the pics!
- In a few months, my MIT Essential Knowledge book, "FMRI" will be coming out. I wrote a bit about the process and the book itself in my latest blog post. thebrainblog.org/2020/01/24/so-…
- One more pic of the NINDS/NIMH 11.74T Human MRI scanner being installed in the NIH NMR Center today! So far going well!
- A strong argument against group mean comparisons for brain structure studies yet a strong motivator to dig into relevant networks and individual variations further.
- Last week, NeuroImage invited me to (re)-join their team as Associate Editor, which precipitated the opportunity to write my perspectives as I declined and clarified why. Here is the exchange as I wanted to share more broadly. thebrainblog.org/2023/11/23/i-w…
