Cognition is inherently dynamic, yet task-fMRI analyses often treat it as static.
My recent paper in NeuroImage introduces Probabilistic Cognitive State Modeling (PCSM).

Polysynaptic routes in the WHITE MATTER CONNECTOME reveal neuroanatomical basis for TMS therapy
Shorter anatomical routes between stimulation site & deep brain target predict superior response
A step fwd for Network Neuroscience!

We've mapped the brain combining TMS single pulses with concurrent fMRI recordings ⚡🧠 for a while. To make these causal maps avail to scientists, we are publishing them per this in press manuscript at Scientific Reports : rdcu.be/e0sjn 1/x
Excited to share my new preprint on Probabilistic Cognitive State Modeling (PCSM), a method that connects cognitive theory and neuroimaging by modeling serial-parallel processing, demand, and bottleneck dynamics over time.
Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025.10.31.6…
Great news: just received the NOA for a K23 grant from NIMH!
This project will test whether brain stimulation (TMS) can target core symptoms of psychopathy, which are implicated in a substantial proportion violent acts nationwide.

! “It is an ethical obligation to use the best methodological techniques that we know. It is not enough to say ‘it’ll turn out the same’ or ‘we didn’t have enough time’, that is not a justification” - Richard McElreath
Are callous-unemotional (CU) traits purely affective, or do they also involve cognitive processes? A recent RCT finds CU traits uniquely link to cognitive-affective interaction difficulties that associate with antisocial behavior. doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/j3wq…
Happy to report this work was accepted for publication in the Journal of Affective Disorders, which can be found here: doi.org/10.1016/j.jad.2025.0…
looking to create orthogonalized interactions using centered residuals in python? "resmod" is now live on pypi. More functions coming soon (e.g., 3-way, sem latent interactions, etc.) pypi.org/project/resmod/
The functions suggested above have now been added with more to come. Please let me know if there is a function that you would like to see.
New updates include plotting and simple slopes for two and three-way interactions - let me know what you think. Demonstration: colab.research.google.com/dr…
