How does our brain (re)capture information about pleasant vs. unpleasant experiences? I'm excited to share our new project out now in @ImagingNeurosci: "Valenced tactile information is evoked by neutral visual cues following emotional learning" doi.org/10.1162/imag_a_00320 (a thread)

Valenced tactile information is evoked by neutral visual cues following emotional learning

Abstract. Learning which stimuli in our environment co-occur with painful or pleasurable events is critical for survival. Previous research has established the basic neural and behavioral mechanisms...

Now available in @ImagingNeurosci. @mumbrainstats, @russpoldrack & I asked, How does test-retest reliability vary in three independent samples across 240 analytics decisions in task fMRI data? (Spoiler: There is variability but ICCs are consistently low) doi.org/10.1162/imag_a_00262

Impact of analytic decisions on test–retest reliability of individual and group estimates in...

Abstract. Empirical studies reporting low test–retest reliability of individual blood oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) signal estimates in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data have resurr...
