So happy to see this out! What started as a pandemic project while we couldn’t scan, opened up new research ideas which we are now investigating in our own data. Thanks cvnlab for making this awesome database available! and huge thanks to Joe Yeatman for inspirational mentorship

I was always a resting state skeptic until this project with Maya Yablonski Iliana Karipidis Emily Kubota that demonstrated remarkable precision distinguishing VWFA sub-regions on the cortical surface in individual brains onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hb…

“Accountable assessments are formative. Period.” - ANet CEO Osarugue 'Michelle' Odemwingie.

Coupled with coaching services, ANet assessments are a 🗝️ key in improved student outcomes. Find more about assessments at hubs.ly/Q02pw-3s0

Our new book is finally out! A hands-on exploration of data science for neuroimaging, based on our experience teaching Neurohackademy, with plenty of examples using Python software tools and open data.

The Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment System caught only 31% of the struggling readers. Burns called that level of accuracy 'shocking,' saying it was 'quite literally the lowest I've ever seen.' apmreports.org/story/2023/12/…

Today #EMNLP2023 at 10am in West Ballroom 3! ez (in Korea/Singapore/NOLA) and I will be presenting a cool human-centered NLP application to identify & progress monitor struggling readers in K-12! w/Diyi Yang JET Jason Yeatman Nick Haber

Incredible work by Wanjing Anya Ma creating an extremely efficient online reading assessment for use in research and schools! Not to mention open-source software innovation: ROAR-CAT: Rapid Online Assessment of Reading ability with Computerized Adaptive Testing psyarxiv.com/7tpx2/

Not every day I have the chance to celebrate truly interdisciplinary research. ShirFilo developed a groundbreaking #qMRI approach for measuring iron homeostasis in the brain, with a unique bottom-up phantom and top-down analysis of brain tumor protein and gene expressions.

Honored and proud that ROAR is among such an inspirational collection of Tools Competition winners! tools-competition.org/winner/rapid-o…
