This blog exists for me to share my day to day fact finding missions in the field of fMRI and brain research. I cover things like fMRI acquisition, physiology recordings, image quality, data processing, data exploration, toolboxes, programming, open science principles and general aspects of life as a researcher. Feel free to leave a comment on a post or let me know if you have a correction, some feedback or a question.
OpenMR Benelux 2019 – an overview
On 16 January 2019 we hosted the first OpenMR Benelux event: an open science themed day full of talks aimed at introducing attendees to open science practices in the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this post, we explore the background to the event, the event's structure, the content of the first OpenMR Benelux meeting, and its future.

SPM12/Matlab scripting tutorial: Post 4
In this fourth and last post of the series, I share a number of useful resources for learning more about SPM12 and Matlab scripting.
SPM12/Matlab scripting tutorial: Post 3
In this third post of the series, we perform several standard preprocessing and statistical analysis steps on a task-fMRI dataset using an automated Matlab and SPM12 analysis pipeline.
SPM12/Matlab scripting tutorial: Post 2
In this second post of the series, I run through the basics of how to handle and view neuroimaging data in Matlab, using the SPM12 toolbox and functions.
SPM12/Matlab scripting tutorial: Post 1
This is the first in a series of posts covering scripting with SPM12 and Matlab, mostly aimed at bachelors, masters or early Phd students wanting to automate their fMRI analysis pipelines.
Blobbity foggity blog
This is my first blog post on fMRwhy. Find out why I decided to start blogging about neuroimaging, fMRI, neuroscience, open science and all the ups and downs of trying to improve the way we do science.
