In April, members of SFIM attended the DC BrainHack. The theme of the event was "From mice to (hu)man" and focused on bridging neuroscience research across analytic levels.

Marly, Marlene, Josh, Dan and Tyler attended the two day meeting, and worked on a variety of projects:

  • Dan and Marlene worked with a group of postdocs and grad students to teach about multi-echo fMRI methods and to improve a tool for simulating multi-echo fMRI data. Check out their work on our GitHub
  • Marly contributed the frontend UI to mriqcdb-aggregator, a website that allows researchers to explore and compare MRIQC quality control metrics across datasets and benchmark their own results.
  • Tyler gave a talk titled "Investigating Mesoscale Brain Function with Layer fMRI" where she discussed what layer fMRI is and why we should care about it
