Stuart Oldham
Post-doc at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute.
I am interested in brain development, neural connectivity, and spending too much time creating PowerPoints.

- Reposted by Stuart OldhamVery happy to see this last thesis paper in press @natcomms.nature.com! We combine intracranial EEG with multimodal MRI to study how interregional similarity in neurophysiology relates to different network scales ⚡ 🧠 Full story 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Reposted by Stuart Oldham🧠New preprint! What if cortical geometry alone already encodes much of white-matter organization? We introduce a subject-specific, reversible cortical folding model that unfolds and refolds the brain from a single T1w MRI; no diffusion, no ML. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The brain computes by processing information over time through interactions between connectivity and dynamics that are hard to model. Here we infer these interactions from data and find they better predict cognitive performance! www.nature.com/articles/s41... w/ @lindenmp.bsky.social
