A methods paper of mine is now at https://doi.org/10.3389/fnimg.2023.1070274 . This little #NewNeuroPaper demonstrates human task #fMRI quality control, as part of the FMRI Open QC Project (which I hope to discuss at #OHBM and elsewhere as it wraps up).

Its supplemental (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/HT543) may be of interest to #rstats folks, particularly if looking for examples of #baseR #knitr #graphics and/or scripts aiming to minimize dependencies and maximize long-term usability.

We performed a meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies looking at interpersonal neural synchronization (INS) and contextualized the results using diverse public databases to develop new hypotheses on physiological processes potentially involved in INS.

Super-short summary: We report spatial convergence of INS in the right TPJ and left ventral PFC and find preliminary evidence for associations of INS with mentalizing and attention brain networks, GABA-mediated E/I balance, and disordered neurodevelopment.

FIRMM software provides real-time and summary feedback about motion during #fMRI. Although this can reduce motion during resting state studies, what about task studies?

Real-time feedback reduces participant motion during task-based fMRI

https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.01.12.523791

We pseudorandomly assigned participants to receive motion feedback, or not, during an fMRI study of spoken word recognition. We found feedback associated with modest-but-significant reductions in motion (framewise displacement), particularly for high-motion frames. For some studies, it could be that giving participants feedback about their motion will improve data quality.

Happy to share that this paper from Loretta Norton, Adrian Owen, and colleagues—which I had a small role in—is now out! (1/)

In this paper, we used #fMRI to assess the cognitive functions of people with acute disorders of consciousness, such as coma (following up on a mountain of prior work in chronic disorders of consciousness, much from Adrian's lab).

I’d be in on #NeuroPaperThread and #NeuroNewPaper. Although I’d prefer #NewNeuroPaper bc grammar 😋.

And I am not sure how much sense it makes to let a single field „claim“ a very general tag such as #PaperThread. It would be more elegant to establish a convention for all fields, i.e., #PaperThread for field-independent use, #MLPaperThread or #AIPaperThread for the Sigmoidians. Sorry folks 👀

(I realize that some of these suggestions would best be used simulatenously, e.g., #newPaper and #preprint have obviously different content. What I am searching for is a common tag for *threads* explaining research articles, not only posts announcing a new publication 🙂.
I had to drop one tag bc of the 5-option limit in polls, and I went for #mastoPrint as it was my own suggestion.)

Some further thoughts:
One could combine these tags in a standardized way with research field names, e.g. #newNeuroPaper, #neuroPreprint, or #neuroPaperThread.
Also, please remember to use #camelCase or #CamelCase notation in these tags for screenreader accessibility!
