@adeelrazi.bsky.social PinnedOur new paper in @natureportfolio.nature.com.
Psychedelics don’t simply disorder the brain. We found hidden, context-sensitive organisation beneath the apparent chaos -- strongest in people reporting more positive, profound experiences and a reduced sense of separation from the world.

@adeelrazi.bsky.socialScientists are not immune to belief.
Psychedelic researchers who were transformed by psychedelics
Meditation scientists who built their careers around contemplative practice
AI researchers convinced deep learning is the only path to intelligence

@adeelrazi.bsky.socialStay tuned for more `foundation' models (including from us) as NeurIPS deadline approaches :-) n/n
@adeelrazi.bsky.socialMy view is that the future will not be a single MRI-only model, but multimodal foundation models integrating brain imaging, behaviour, physiology, & longitudinal change. The goal is not just bigger models but richer representations of how brains function & adapt across individuals and contexts. 5/n
@adeelrazi.bsky.socialIn this sense, today’s MRI foundation models are less like a final “GPT for the brain” and more like competing prototypes exploring the design space. The field is still asking a fundamental question: what should a brain foundation model actually represent? 4/n
@adeelrazi.bsky.socialSo multiple foundation models are emerging because researchers are testing different assumptions about what the “right” representation of the brain should be. Some optimise for prediction, others for interpretability, multimodal fusion, temporal dynamics, or biological plausibility. 3/n
@adeelrazi.bsky.socialUnlike language, where text shares a common structure and large unified datasets exist, neuroimaging is fragmented. Different labs use different scanners, preprocessing, tasks, and populations. As a result models trained on MRI or fMRI often learn different representations of brain organisation. 2/n
@adeelrazi.bsky.socialWhy are there so many “foundation models” for brain if the goal is to have a single foundation model? I am often asked this question these days so I thought to put it out here. The short answer is that we are still in the exploration phase, not the consolidation phase. Theard 1/n 🧵👇
