Using the mobile brain/body imaging (MoBI) motion capture system to rapidly and accurately localize electroencephalography (EEG) electrodes in anatomic space
During Mobile Brain‐Body Imaging (MoBI) experiments, electroencephalography and motion capture systems are used in concert to record high temporal resolution neural activity and movement kinematics w...
Over-activation of primate subgenual cingulate cortex enhances the cardiovascular, behavioral and neural responses to threat
Alexander et al. causally implicate over-activity in primate subgenual cingulate in affective and cardiovascular dysfunction relevant to anxiety and depression. Over-activation led to elevated activity in a stress-related network whilst decreasing...
Could CBD help opioid users overcome addiction?
The opioid epidemic is one of the biggest and most costly health risks facing modern America. Yet, CBD Scientist Yasmin Hurd suggests that there is a way to overcome this epidemic. Yasmin’s research focuses on Cannabidiol (CBD) as a non-addictive,...
Temperature Sensation: From Molecular Thermosensors to Neural Circuits and Coding Principles
Temperature is a universal cue and regulates many essential processes ranging from enzymatic reactions to species migration. Due to the profound impact of temperature on physiology and behavior, animals and humans have evolved sophisticated...
Studies Point To Big Drop In COVID-19 Death Rates
More hospitalized patients are surviving than early in the pandemic. Improved treatments make a big difference, but so does flattening the curve to keep hospitals from overfilling, researchers say.

Whole-brain estimates of directed connectivity for human connectomics
Connectomics is essential for understanding large-scale brain networks but requires that individual connection estimates are neurobiologically interpr…
HPC Parallel Performance for 3rd gen Threadripper, Xeon 3265W and EPYC 7742 (HPL HPCG Numpy NAMD)
On March 19, 2020 I did a webinar titled,
"AMD Threadripper 3rd Gen HPC Parallel Performance and Scaling ++(Xeon 3265W and EPYC 7742)"
The "++(Xeon 3265W and EPYC 7742)" part of that title was added after we had scheduled the webinar. It made the...

The temporal association of introducing and lifting non-pharmaceutical interventions with the time-varying reproduction number (R) of SARS-CoV-2: a modelling study across 131 countries
Individual NPIs, including school closure, workplace closure, public events ban, ban
on gatherings of more than ten people, requirements to stay at home, and internal
movement limits, are associated with reduced transmission of SARS-CoV-2, but the...

Best liquid cooling for Threadripper 3970X | Community
Hello everyone, I'm a bit undecided about the current best possible liquid cooling solution for the Threadripper 3970X. I'm going to continuously full
Micah Allen
For those considering a threadripper (e.g., 3970x) based neuroimaging analysis PC build, one issue I have found is CPU cooling - apparently there are not good cooling options available currently other than custom H20 loop which is expensive and difficulty.

Broad transcriptional dysregulation of brain and choroid plexus cell types with COVID-19
Though SARS-CoV-2 primarily targets the respiratory system, it is increasingly appreciated that patients may suffer neurological symptoms of varied severity. However, an unbiased understanding of the molecular processes across brain cell types that...

Daniël de Kok: Intel MKL on AMD Zen
Micah Allen
We are about 90% decided to stick with Intel i9 XE CPU. AMD is absolutely better value, but we are concerned about the ongoing Intel MKL on AMD Zen issues. They are fixable, but seems like a high potential sysadmin headache.

Cognitive deficits in people who have recovered from COVID-19 relative to controls: An N=84,285 online study
Case studies have revealed neurological problems in severely affected COVID-19 patients. However, there is little information regarding the nature and broader prevalence of cognitive problems post-infection or across the full spread of severity. We...
