NIH is requesting comments on a new draft policy that may require human brain imaging data (and other data) from nih-funded research to only be shared via controlled access, & only with certain countries. I suggest neuroimagers read closely & submit comments by 3/18.

Check out our new preprint!
We directly tested a common assumption in neuroimaging:
Is resting-state the best estimate of intrinsic organization?
Spoiler: Across datasets and brain systems, multi-task fMRI did better.
👇
So maybe rest isn’t a privileged window into intrinsic organization after all.
Functional architecture may be revealed most clearly when the brain is actively engaged.

Curious to hear what people think!

You can’t repeal science. But you sure can strangle it.
Not only is this what you would do if you were trying to kill a technology and a company developing it ….
it's what you would do if you were trying to kill *people*.
