BOLD response is more than just magnitude: improving detection sensitivity through capturing hemodynamic profiles

This paper improves fMRI analysis by capturing hemodynamic profiles instead of relying on a canonical HRF, showing better sensitivity and cross-study reproducibility.

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis: Task-based fMRI Studies in Youths with Irritability

This paper reviews task-based fMRI studies on irritability in youth, finding no neural convergence across domains and highlighting the need for standardized assessments and tasks.

Mobile Footprinting: Linking Individual Distinctiveness in Mobility Patterns to Mood, Sleep, and Brain Functional Connectivity

This study links individual mobility patterns to mood, sleep, and brain connectivity by identifying unique mobility footprints.

Hyperbolic trade-off: the importance of balancing trial and subject sample sizes in neuroimaging

The paper examines how balancing trial and subject sample sizes affects statistical efficiency in neuroimaging, finding trial sample size has a comparable impact to subject sample size.

Trial and error: a hierarchical modeling approach to test-retest assessment

This paper introduces a hierarchical modeling framework to assess test-retest reliability, showing higher reliability estimates compared to conventional methods and highlighting the need for large trial numbers.

Intraclass correlation: improved modeling approaches and applications for neuroimaging

The paper improves ICC modeling for neuroimaging by introducing four new approaches and recommends their use based on data characteristics.
