Scott Marek is assistant professor of radiology in the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Marek received a Ph.D. in neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh, where he gained expertise in pediatric neuroimaging with Beatriz Luna. Subsequently, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship with Nico Dosenbach at Washington University School of Medicine, where he gained expertise in functional mapping of individual brains and leveraging big data to quantify the reproducibility of brain-wide association studies. He now runs his own lab focused on precision imaging and deep phenotyping of adolescent twins with depression, as well as population neuroscience approaches using large datasets, such as the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study.

Exclusive: Springer Nature retracts, removes nearly 40 publications that trained neural networks on ‘bonkers’ dataset
The dataset contains images of children’s faces downloaded from websites about autism, which sparked concerns at Springer Nature about consent and reliability.

Seeing the world as animals do: How to leverage generative AI for ecological neuroscience
Generative artificial intelligence will offer a new way to see, simulate and hypothesize about how animals experience their worlds. In doing so, it could help bridge the long-standing gap between neural function and behavior.
