Thrilled to see this work published @NatureComms! This research brings us closer to understanding the intricate relationship between the #brain and #cognition. Excited to see where this leads! 🔬🧠 #Neuroscience #CognitiveScience
🔥 Our new paper reveals a 3D #morphospace mapping the #brain’s functional universe 🌌rdcu.be/dVyJG! Using meta-analytic data, we can #predict unseen #functions & decode #neural activity during movie-watching 🎬. Just the beginning of exploring #human #cognition! A 🧵

Ok!! After reviewing many applications for ECR large scale projects and seeing recommendation letters I notice that letters for women focus more on personality traits than intellectual merit and achievements than for men 😩😩 rec letter writers and reviewers take note!!

A trailblazer in neuroimaging science - Prof Ernesta Meintjes - director of CUBIC @UCT_NI teaches us important lessons in academic humility and courage in establishing the first dedicated MRI research facility in sub-Saharan Africa! Check out her outstanding talk below ⬇️
2️⃣ 'Neither of us had ever done #MRI before, and now it’s been 15 years of MRI #imaging in South Africa' This inspiring talk reflects on the journey of neuroscience driving public health #innovation and #collaboration. 🎥youtu.be/95CyJx2SMbc #BrainhackSA #PublicHealth

Such an important award and piece to read that highlights the many structural inequalities and racial biases in our current neuroimaging (neurotechnology) methods.
These are global challenges, which are particularly pervasive in neuroscience research in Africa.
🎉 Congratulations to Jasmine Kwasa, winner of the 2024 NOMIS & Science Young Explorer Award for her work in addressing the underappreciated racial and phenotypic biases in neuroimaging methods by developing new, inclusive medical technologies. bit.ly/40E7E9o
