Congratulations to my absolute rockstar of a lab mate and close friend @halleeshearer.bsky.social!! This paper is going to do huge things for the field and I’m so proud of you!!
Excited to share our manuscript about BrainEffeX, a tool for exploring fMRI effect sizes. Includes why we made it, how to use it + contribute, and how we made it.

To kick things off, I’m organizing a monthly “how-to” workshop series ft. leading scientists who will share practical/technical skills w/ the global SP-SIG community. If you or anyone you know is interested in participating, please reach out!

I’m excited to share that I was elected to serve as the inaugural Virtual Events Coordinator for the Organization for Human Brain Mapping Student & Postdoc Special Interest Group!
A huge thank you to the open-science community for trusting me to help shape this new and exciting position! 🧠
#OHBM
For our inaugural Precision Brain & Mental Health Hack, we had over ✨ NINETY FIVE ✨ researchers, scientists, students & faculty register!!! Feeling very proud and grateful for this amazing team and event!!
Hackers hacking
And that’s a wrap on our first ever Boston Precision Brain & Mental Health Hack 🥳
organized with

I am not a political pawn. I am a living, breathing human being who has dedicated her life to a scientific problem that I believe matters for human health. The article below tells our story; I hope you will read it and share it www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...
The NeuroPRISM Lab 🧠 is in the news!
The article touches on the Effect Size Explorer, the Power Calculator, and my own Local CSF Correction Pipeline — a scalable preprocessing pipeline for correcting local physiological noise in the subcortex.

These past two years have had no shortage of challenges as a new PI, but this team has been a constant inspiration. Glad to recognize their commitment to advancing rigor in research.

Excited to share that the NeuroPRISM Lab has been awarded the #NINDS Early-Career Rigor Champions Prize!
A major accomplishment for the lab, but especially reflects the leadership of our PI, Dr. Stephanie Noble!

These are the most challenging times for early-career scientists and engineers.
My team is doing its bit to help by maintaining and even expanding our database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers.
We found 437 of them.

On another exciting note — I’m also on the job market! Always looking forward to discussing potential opportunities :) stop by my poster 1:45-3:45PM and the 6PM poster reception to chat!
Excited to share our tool for exploring fMRI effect sizes at OHBM on Friday at 11:30 in the Neuroinformatics and Data Sharing session! If you can’t catch the talk, I’ll also be at my poster on Friday and Saturday (#1822)
Spatial heterogeneity of CSF related-noise in fMRI: why it matters and what we can do about it. My work at #OHBM2025 provides evidence for taking a region-specific approach when isolating CSF artifact in the subcortex. Swing by #P1358 on Fri/Sat to discuss!
Had a great time presenting my work at #CNS2025. A huge thank you to my advisor @sneuroble.bsky.social for helping me bring this project to life. Incredibly excited to see how well received our poster was and I can't wait to share new developments at OHBM this June! #fMRI #CSF
@alexkfischbach.bsky.social & @halleeshearer.bsky.social in action 🙌🏽
And congrats to all the poster presenters today—great to see so all the neuroimaging methods represented at #CNS2025
Improving fMRI signal quality starts with better noise modeling.
My project at #CNS2025 shows how localized region-specific CSF correction may better isolate neural activity and increase sensitivity in the subcortex.
Come by my poster #D138 to learn more! (Mon. 8:00-10:00AM) 🧠
Amidst continued chaos, the lab will be at #CNS2025! Please come say hi, and we can all talk about promoting progress in brain research

Really fantastic and innovative work led by my amazing NeuroPRISM lab colleague and good friend. Congrats
@halleeshearer.bsky.social — what an incredible accomplishment 🧠🎉
Great work by @halleeshearer.bsky.social in her first first-author paper. With 🎀 shiny app 🎀 to explore how FC reliability fares ACROSS DIFFERENT movies versus rest, region-by-region. Thanks @sneuroble.bsky.social @tingsterx.bsky.social @ninetlab.bsky.social for 👍 collab.

What a blast at Brainhack NEU round 2! #brainhackglobal
Thank you everyone for making year’s event so exciting. Looking forward to continuing our relentless expansion next year… maybe a true Boston-wide Brainhack next time?
That a really interesting point. It will be interesting to see how to optimally define subject-specific PAG in that case. Should we take this direction, we’ll be sure to follow up!
