A step toward non-invasive electrophysiology: our @commseng.nature.com paper demonstrates acoustoelectric neural recording in mice using ultrasound-induced frequency mixing, with controls to rule out artefacts. rdcu.be/e4GSw #ultrasound #neurotech
New paper just out 🎉 In vivo acoustoelectric neural recording: focused ultrasound + frequency mixing lets us shift & demodulate neural signals from the ultrasound focus. rdcu.be/e4GSw
True. We also have a balkanized user base over three scanners and there's no meaningful overlap so everyone only looks out for their own interests. Oh well, something for future directors and managers to worry about and fix if they want!
Ah, the vision is the bit we seem to be missing. It’s organic, bottom up here, which has pros and cons!
Would you be up for a directorship back in the USA for, say, 5 years, or are you done with directing like I’m done with managing? Asking for a friend…
Know what you’re retiring to, not what you’re retiring from. Start out actually doing what you think you will want to spend your retirement doing, or at least thinking how you would go about doing them. I’ve started a 3 year transition towards my retirement target date to test the waters.

Do you have enough time points with sufficiently similar methods to assess aging effects on NVC over 35 years? 🙃

Easy. Make this so-called AGI connect any printer or projector to any laptop and work first time, without 30 minutes of driver updates and futzing with the setup.
Found this late, but better late than never!

When the ASL and BOLD are collected in separate scans there could well be transit time differences because of slight variations in vascular physiology over time. Ideally one would collect BOLD and ASL with a dual echo scan.

“These findings suggest that the MNI152 template does not reflect the average morphology of contemporary population samples and that linear registration alone cannot resolve these discrepancies. Therefore, more robust and unbiased template-generation pipelines may be necessary….”

I don't know if this was well known, but NMR/MRS icon and NAS fellow Bob Shulman (middle) passed away a couple of weeks ago at the age of 101. He was the mentor of my mentors (left and right), so I suppose my grand mentor. Scientists like him are unlikely to be found ever again in this day and age
