Imminent abstract submission deadline alert for the *3rd International Concurrent TMS-fMRI Workshop* in Cancun (yep) Sept 15-17. Submit by Aug 4 here: tmsfmriworkshop.org - after which you'll practically taste the poolside cocktails and hear the incredible concurrent TMS-fMRI discourse in your ears.

Love it. Electromagnetome? Although pretty sure the Marvel Universe would have something suitable also :)

What is the best way to advance a challenging-yet-inferentially-powerful combination of neurostimulation and neuroimaging? Come to Cancun to find out! Join us for the 3rd International Concurrent TMS-fMRI Workshop September 15-17 *literally* by the beach: www.tmsfmriworkshop.org

After many (many) years of work with Dr. Chantal Percival we have open-science published an "edited book" Cognitive
Modes Detectable with Task-Based fMRI. Results on a total of 28 tasks are reported.

<Gushing tears> it's so beautiful in print. Thank YOU @alexwoolgar.bsky.social for bringing this masterpiece home. For the rest of the world, it has NEVER been easier to do concurrent TMS-fMRI and this paper tells you just how easy. It'll be in every home soon...you heard it here first 😉

Deadline is 12th May for these 5 posts in Psychology & Neuroscience @uofglasgow.bsky.social!
Do get in touch if you are interested, happy to chat informally.

Accepting uncertainty such a fundamental one that runs at odds with how scientists are trained to approach research. But it is also one of the most fun parts of it all imho.

Boooo!

Kindergarten Cop for PFC function?

In Oscars award acceptance-style, I want to thank the super co-authors who showed that team work makes the dream work, which here is to have the world love concurrent TMS-fMRI as much as we do!

"...pleased to inform you that your article, "Consensus guidelines for the use of concurrent TMS-fMRI in cognitive and clinical neuroscience", has now been accepted and sent to our Production department and should soon be published in Nature Protocols."⚡🎈🤘 OG preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Another outstanding from @masudhusain.bsky.social article telling it how it is. Surely our big academic brains can figure out a way to solve this problem...

🧠 We are #hiring! Postdoc @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social: help us develop closed-loop EEG platforms to improve TMS treatment for depression! Coding and neuroscience / engineering backgrounds required. Join our team! precisionneuro.stanford.edu email: ckeller1@stanford.edu

1/10 🧠 We need better ways to measure brain excitability in psychiatric disorders. The prefrontal cortex—key target for brain stimulation treatments—is particularly hard to assess. Our new studies tackle this with systematic mapping! bit.ly/4cjHknX & bit.ly/3PW8RCx

"Don’t hide the good stuff: Scientific advancement in task-based fMRI is slowed by not showing event-related BOLD (erBOLD) changes alongside anatomical patterns" (new[ish] on @jocnforum.bsky.social ] doi.org/10.21428/8e6...

Coincidentally Taylor Swift is tossing this up as the name of her next album.

Highly recommended reading for those conducting fMRI to investigate behaviour, if I do say so myself :) We are ready to take your calls (via the JoCN Forum) for any feedback, ideas, debate, praise, and so on.

Don’t hide the good stuff: Scientific advancement in task-based fMRI is slowed by not showing event-related BOLD (erBOLD) changes alongside anatomical patterns

New post by @abhijitchinchani.bsky.social, @evalab.bsky.social, and @twoodward.bsky.social: "Don’t hide the good stuff: Scientific advancement in task-based fMRI is slowed by not showing event-related BOLD (erBOLD) changes alongside anatomical patterns"

Fun time guaranteed!

I've always appreciated his approach of trying to bring everything together to try and explain behaviour. Most of us spend a lot of time trying to break things down into their constituent pieces, and along the way we stray from the original problem...why do I do dumb stuff with my big brain?

Love it! I feel like aperiodic activity is a veritable goldmine...can't wait for what it reveals with more research like this.

I had no idea that's how you spell capeesh.

It's a wild ride :)

Another cognitive mode detectable by task-based fMRI: Maintaining Internal Attention (MAIN). Anatomical patterns and how its BOLD changes are affected by autobiographical event simulation, working memory, task switching, self-reference and semantic association are here:

And how could I forget to add this little number! Check out our snazzy concurrent TMS-fMRI consensus paper - preprint here osf.io/preprints/ps..., but if any certain reviewers out there want to do Xmas a little early, feel free to press that 'accept' button ;)

Concurrent TMS-fMRI is hot stuff if you want causal inference with your whole-brain recordings. Come and hear me spill the beans on why you might want in on this magnet-on-magnet action - webinar on Jan 22nd: marketing.magventure.com/referral_reg....

We're excited to share NaviNIBS, our new open-source tool 🔨 for neuronavigated noninvasive #brainstim 🧠⚡️

🎉Congrats to our co-director Chris Cline, lead developer of NaviNIBS!

We hope to enable new possibilities for innovations in neuronavigation #TMSEEG @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social (1/5)

Revision under review 🤞🍀
