New paper on task and stimulus coding. Both were discriminated across the cortex. Tasks were most discriminated in MD areas; stimuli in visual and MD adjacent areas. Unlike monkey neurons, human fMRI showed mostly linear task and stimulus combinations. doi.org/10.1093/cerc...

New paper! We propose a novel hypothesis on the diversity of human executive functions. We used cutting-edge multimodal fMRI approaches to unveil an intricate dance between domain-general and domain-specific circuits. Link: doi.org/10.1093/cerc...balsa.wustl.edu/study/0qk6K

šŸ§ Big news, little brain šŸ§  Iā€™m excited to share our preprint introducing our hierarchical cerebellar atlas!šŸŽ‰ Ā  We fused many fMRI datasets into a comprehensive map of the cerebellum - and created a new resource for localizing and interpreting data. Ā  doi.org/10.1101/2023... Ā  šŸ§µ1/7

Image shows a butterfly-like looking flat map of the cerebellar cortex with different functional regions  highlighted in different colours. The regions are labelled and boxes around the image indicate which region has which function

Definitely agreed.

Your caution is warranted but I will argue using HCP seqs are still great for small N studies. We used them for a study with n=37. Fantastic, highly robust and high-resolution results (when analysed properly). The results didn't change much after n=10. doi.org/10.1093/cerc...doi.org/10.1101/2022...

Are the runs from the same subject? If so, I think either option would work fine. I personally follow HCP's pipeline by aligning each run's multiband to its run's SBRef, each SBRef to the structural, then use the latter to put all multiband runs in the same space (as the structural).
