How to stay motivated while doing concurrent EEG-tDCS work?

Well... I make a game of how many participants I can test without getting an error of exceeding impedance limit🀣

It works.
Current streak is 4

Initial problem? No right cable to trigger the NeuroConn via BNC 😩
Solution was an Arduino + ChatGPT + safety pin + best friend who knows a lot about cables.⚑️

Not sure what to post if it’s not a big achievement?

Here’s some ideas:
πŸ”¬ What are you working on right now?
🀯 What’s challenging you?
πŸ—£ A quote from a colleague or participant
πŸ€” A question you're stuck on

Stop only sharing your new job, latest paper, shiny grant, or prestigious award.

Yes, celebrate win, but if that’s all we post, we create a toxic, unrealistic feed.
Real life, especially in research, is full of setbacks and struggle. Let’s not hide that.

We deserve a space that feels REAL.

Free day; Pentecost! Or… just Monday at the office for me.

Not working out of stress, just swapping days because tomorrow I’m getting 2 wisdom teeth removed. Ice pack > desk.🦷🧊

Grateful for PhD flexibility and the peace of an empty office today πŸ˜‰

I’ve been focused on practical stuff ->experiment prep, piloting, analysis, but not much reading. #impostersyndrome, feeling not doing enough πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

This morning, I finally sat down to read. Now my brain’s spinning with 20 new ideas. πŸš€

Note to self: read more. Not to catch up. But because I like it
