This is the third part of our The complexity view on Leonard Cohen series, written together with Milja Heikkinen. We’re back on our Waiting for the miracle series. Feels weird to write on complexity under this title right now! But well, in the piece, after which our series is named, Cohen sings Let's be alone …

It’s Twitter conference time again! After three glorious years of #BrainTC, the brain Twitter conference is this year organized under the umbrella of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM). As the conference will take place on March 20th, the equinox, it is know as the OHBMequinoX or #OHBMx. Similarly as last year, I’m part …
This is the second part of our series on The complexity view on Leonard Cohen, written together with Milja Heikkinen. I caught the darkness drinking from your cup. I said: Is this contagious? You said: Just drink it up. This time, let’s talk about something topical: diseases. Leaving alone the worrying news about the corona …

Last week's Complex Networks conference in Lisbon was exactly as cool as I expected. Three days full* of outstanding talks, inspiring discussions, and meeting new people and old acquaintances. During the conference, I did quite a bit of live tweeting. So, this post is essentially a collection of my Twitter threads from Complex Networks. Check …
Next week, it’s time for one of my favourite conferences: Complex Networks that this year takes place in Lisbon, Portugal. Complex Networks is a relatively small conference, meaning less difficult decisions between interesting talks given at the same time (although this year there seem to be three sessions in parallel instead of the two of …
I’ve written this post together with Ana Triana, and it’s based the our brand-new preprint “Effects of spatial smoothing on group-level differences in functional brain networks” by Ana, Enrico Glerean, Jari Saramäki and me, now available at arXiv. I’ve written quite a bit about how to construct a functional brain network from fMRI data. From …
