Laterality of subcortical structures predicts spontaneous brain dynamics

The paper examines how asymmetry in subcortical brain structures relates to cortical oscillatory power in resting-state MEG data from healthy adults.

STEMorph: A Set of Morphed Emotional Face Stimuli from Angry to Happy Derived from NimStim

STEMorph creates a validated set of morphed emotional faces from angry to happy to study emotion recognition biases, showing strong correlation between morph levels and perceived emotion intensity.

OPM-FLUX: A Pipeline for OPM MEG Data Analysis

OPM-FLUX provides a standardized analysis pipeline for OPM-MEG data, improving reproducibility and comparability across platforms and promoting consistent methodological practices.

Hemispheric laterality of the putamen predicts pseudoneglect

The paper finds that leftward putamen asymmetry predicts pseudoneglect, a leftward attentional bias in healthy individuals, linking subcortical structure to spatial attention.

Modulation of alpha oscillations by attention is predicted by hemispheric asymmetries of subcortical regions.

This study investigates how subcortical structures' hemispheric asymmetries predict alpha oscillation modulations during spatial attention tasks with varying perceptual loads.

An adversarial collaboration to critically evaluate theories of consciousness

A preregistered multimodal neuroimaging study across 256 human participants directly tests Integrated Information Theory against Global Neuronal Workspace Theory, confirming some predictions while revealing major empirical challenges for both.
