Reply-To: | | [log in to unmask][log in to unmask], 12 Jan 2022 19:35:22 +00001722_Windows-1252 We are now inviting applications for a postdoctoral fellow position at the University of California, San Francisco Memory and Aging Center, in the lab of Dr. David Perry. Our lab’s NIH-funded studies seek to improve predictive accuracy for the clinical diagnosis, prognosis, and pathological etiology of neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal dementia. We utilize behavioral and neuropsychological measures, structural and functional neuroimaging, and genetic data in multivariate classification algorithms.
The UCSF Memory and Aging Center (memory.ucsf.edu<https://memory.ucsf.edu/>) is part of the Department of Neurology and Weill Institute for Neurosciences. It has an extensive research infrastructure, with over 250 full-time research faculty and staff.
The postdoctoral fellow will have the opportunity to participate in our innovative, interdisciplinary research environment. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in neuroimaging or a related field. We are looking for candidates who have strong statistical training and communication skills. Programming experience is required. The start date is flexible; review of applications will begin immediately. Applicants should send a brief cover letter describing interests and relevant prior experience, CV, and contact information for three references to ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).
Best,

Hi Maxime,
The Cambridge tool is solid, but I would hesitate to pick a new tool without detailed documentation and support.
I have previously used CoSMoMVPA (https://www.cosmomvpa.org), which is easy to use and have an active user group. I have also integrated it in Automatic Analysis (https://github.com/automaticanalysis/automaticanalysis) to facilitate adoption, and I also have an example pipeline for RSA , which I have not published yet.
I have recently used TDT, which seems the best and most solid of all, and an active community is certainly a plus. I have also integrated TDT in Automatic Analysis for all sorts of inputs (voxel-based, ROI-based, connectivity); however, I have not used it for RSA, yet, but it seems straightforward to do it.
Kind regards,
Tibor

Subject: [SPM] Representational Similarity Analysis || Where to start?
Hello everyone,
I have just started my PhD and I have been asked to do Representational Similarity Analysis with fMRI. However, there is no one in the lab who is working on this technique.
I would like to ask you if you know any good ressources and/or package for this purpose? I already selected a couple and your opinion would be greatly appreciated!
(1) The Decoding Toolbox
https://sites.google.com/site/tdtdecodingtoolbox/
With a relatively active community on https://neurostars.org/
(2) The Cambridge Toolbox
https://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/methods-and-resources/toolboxes/
However, I could not find any active community.
If you have any other Toolbox, package, or ressources please share ;)
Have a nice day,
Maxime
