After two years full of changes, I am happy to share that I have secured a permanent position at the Enrico Fermi Research Centre in Rome, with start date next week! Looking forward to even more MRI than ever 🧠 @cref_official #milestones
Ongoing hacking at the #CONNECThon with super scanners, pocket MRI, self-made AI and some diffused relax 🧠🔬🧪🥼🥽 @MarcoPalombo3 @Dee_Kay_Jay @CUBRICcardiff
Did anyone say FREE CONNECThon?? 🤑 Registrations are open! 📯 Come and hack with us right before @ISMRM at @CUBRICcardiff! 🎬 @cardiffuni #hackathon #mri #DeepLearning
📢CONNECThon updates! Website & preliminary program updated; FREE registration now open at connecthon.github.io
Registrations will tell us how many participants to expect, so please register asap if you plan to join us 😊
👀on the website for future updates on the projects!
Do you want to push the boundaries of what you can do with MRI scanners?🚀 Join us for the CONNECThon🧠🫀🫁 a hackathon event taking place in Cardiff right before ISMRM (4th-6th May)! Projects and info coming soon on connecthon.github.io @CUBRICcardiff @MarcoPalombo3
Happy to share our latest: Dissecting whole-brain conduction delays through MRI microstructural measures rdcu.be/ct756 a huge thanks to co-authors @QiyuanTian Qiuyun Fan Mara Cercignani @SusieHuangMDPhD! A good read if you are into #brain #connectivity and #delays (1/3)
Without exaggerating, two of the best things that happened in my academic life during the past year @brainhack and @neuromatch - they come together! Don't miss this session at the OHBM Brainhack! #brainhack #notyourusualhackathon #neuromatch #nma #ohbm
#Brainhack Atlantis Update:
Good morning & welcome back! ☕️☀️
We’re getting ready to bring @neuromatch back to the stage to start Day 2, now on the other side of the world! Join us in 30 min.

A pipeline is running in the background. You're sketching something else. Can you just *ask* for updates? Well why not? This week on #neurosnippets I show how to put together a simple voice assistant to monitor a target script! neurosnippets.com/posts/voic… #jarvis #SoundOn
As the OHBM Hackathon/BrainHack 2021 TrainTrack will have a hands-on component (influenced by the amazing @neuromatch experience), we are looking for ways to set non-coding sessions up! If you have ideas/resources, get in touch! @brainhackorg
Hi👋Can you help?
w/ @ingmatman & @OhbmOpen we are looking for resources *for trainers* to facilitate online community calls as in "Work open, Lead open" #WOLO
e.g we'd love to learn tips to facilitate small group discussions or thoughts on different platforms
Please RT💛
This week on #neurosnippets the second part for the #dashboard comparison: it's the turn of @bokeh and @HoloViz_org - and the chance to discuss which framework to pick when! It's hard to pick one among so many amazing choices #gameofdashboards neurosnippets.com/posts/game… (1/2)
Big shout-out to @mkennedy and @TalkPython where you can find episodes with the creators of three out of four frameworks (@streamlit @bokeh @HoloViz_org). Maybe the @plotlygraphs folks are coming next? 😃If you missed the first part, it's here: neurosnippets.com/posts/game… (2/2)
Is there anything like too many dashboard frameworks? On #neurosnippets you'll find some comparisons! I'll create the same #brainy dashboard with different frameworks. This week the first part is about @streamlit and Dash @plotlygraphs #gameofdashboards neurosnippets.com/posts/game…

It's that time of the year again: it's Secret Sessions time! Do you have an idea for a specific topic, maybe not strictly a research? Here is your chance! #secretsessions #ismrm
Secret Sessions are (virtually) back!
Organizing a Secret Session is a great opportunity to get involved and shape the annual meeting. If you have an idea for a session and/or would like to help run a session, now is your chance!

For all the #neuroimagers and people into #brains: have you reached that point where you need to dig into the DICOMs even if it's not really your thing? No worries, this week on #neurosnippets I show how to quickly open them with a @streamlit dashboard! neurosnippets.com/posts/dies…
Who doesn't like a bit of esoteric #connectomes? This week on #neurosnippets I show how to build a bundle-wise, myelin-weighted connectome from the MICRA dataset (osf.io/z3mkn/), leveraging @MRtrix3, #FastSurfer and FSL. neurosnippets.com/posts/bund…
Every occasion is a good one to make interactive stuff for #brainviz! This week on #neurosnippets I show how to make an interactive brain network graph - in 3D and overlaying a transparent cortical surface! All of this using @plotlygraphs! neurosnippets.com/posts/inte…
You have a script, and you want to look at the results while changing a parameter. Making an entire dashboard? Too much. Is there an easier way? Yes, there is! This week on #neurosnippets I show how to turn a script into a dashboard with @streamlit! neurosnippets.com/posts/quic… (1/2)
As an example, I picked skull-stripping: I made a script to try several thresholds for #FSL BET and visualize the results in a painless way, in less than 50 lines of code! A big shout-out to @TalkPython and @mkennedy that made me discover this amazing tool! (2/2)

Lovers and haters of @ProjectJupyter, here is a notebook/script twist 🤸 for MRI data! 🧠 In this week's post on #neurosnippets, I show a use case of papermill (@nteractio) for diffusion preprocessing - ending up with both nice images _and_ an HTML report! neurosnippets.com/posts/pape…
There was a lively thread on notebooks a couple of weeks ago with @choldgraf @emdupre_ @russpoldrack @joelgrus @jeremyphoward and many others (lost somewhere within the Twitter universe) - it would be great to hear their take on parameterized notebooks and reproducibility!

#MRI folks, you know those times when you just want to check things out? But then you need to code, and you're stuck in the vortex... This week on #neurosnippets I show how to make a dashboard to quickly check MRI data with the amazing Dash @plotlygraphs neurosnippets.com/posts/mri-…
And if you want to do even more in a dashboard, be sure to check the COVID-19 chest X-ray annotation app (also based on Dash!) by @almarklein and @EGouillart: dash-gallery.plotly.host/das… #dataviz

I recently digged in what you can do using Google Colab resources - and it turns out is a lot more than just notebooks! In this week's post on #neurosnippets, I show how to install (and keep) @MRtrix3 in Colab, and how to get out in the terminal world👽neurosnippets.com/posts/mrtr…
Brainhack Micro2Macro: that's a wrap! As we got to the end of the hackathon today, I think it is the chance to thank all the co-organisers @drsilagenc @MarcoPalombo3 @ViljamiSairanen @simonaschiavi24 @ChantalTax - and it is also a good chance to look at the amazing results! (1/7)
SANDI-AMICO by @MarcoPalombo3 @simonaschiavi24 @ADaducci and many others: you know that a project has done a lot where they managed to put together even the _documentation_ for the final day! github.com/daducci/AMICO/wik… Who wants some soma? They are on sale! #SomaSale (2/7)
It's Brainhack Micro2Macro day 3! In 1 hour our second unconference: "Unleashing the Kraken - Machine learning for super-resolution and harmonization", with speakers from China and the US - it will be live streamed on YouTube, on our channel: youtube.com/channel/UCbO0Gnd…
