time-frequency representation of human electrocorticography data. ๐ŸŒŠ

one axis shows frequency, the other time. the high peaks correspond to a prominent alpha rhythm at 10 Hz which appears and subsides during the experiment.

haha, no, I find the sound is just soothing. if it's gone you know that something is wrong. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

need to record the sweet soothing sound of the gas compressor as a sleep aid for home ๐Ÿ™ƒ

booked the MEG again to do some final data collection after winter break, always very fun to be there. ๐Ÿ™‚ (also: my last MEG experiment ever? ๐Ÿฅฒ)

& love our pretty recruitment poster (designed by Claudia Kernberger)

always very cool to see developmental transitions!

reminds me of the large-scale burst type signals of human preterm babies; which become decorrelated after a while. interesting to see this general type of dynamics in young rats. ๐Ÿ™‚

I could tell who this was about just from the image, very iconic figure ๐Ÿ™‚

the initial image is just super typical for resting state (at least 1 + 2), so I was wondering whether I was doing things wrong the whole time ๐Ÿ™ƒ but makes sense @ motor task!

what is the problem?

it looks like a typical posterior alpha + temporal alpha distribution + harmonics?

I learned a lot from Christoph & Paolo when doing TMS-EEG experiments back then. all this methods knowledge now condensed here! ๐ŸŒŸ

thanks to TMS-EEG, I feel that phase effects for sensorimotor mu-rhythms are now nicely established. (in contrast to visual alpha, which imho still needs work)

dot plot of brain prize recipients by year, 2011โ€“2025. each dot represents one winner, blue indicates male and red indicates female.

brain prize recipients over the years.

I remembered that I made this plot last year for a bias watch project (yes, because of that 2013โ€“2018 period ๐Ÿ™ƒ). the prize for this year will be announced later this afternoon, let's see. ๐Ÿ”ฎ

Diverse beta burst waveform motifs characterize movement-related cortical dynamics Classical analyses of induced, frequency-specific neural activity typically average band-limited power over trials. More recently, it has become widelโ€ฆ

methodwise, this paper from @maciekszul.bsky.social may also be interesting ๐Ÿ™‚ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

thank you! (distance to surfing is a feature dimension with high weighting ๐Ÿ™ƒ)

beautiful plots! & structural changes clearly have implications for the strong changes in electrophysiological activity across development.

one aspect that I find tricky: in the HBN dataset, ~70% of participants have a neurodevelopmental disorder, which is not discussed here.

in the background: always the thought whether it makes sense to invest in a commercial space again...

but I guess the early blogging days will not come back (miss them immensely).

yes, the other aspects are:
1) increasing connections between especially ECRs (playful measure/attempt: bsky.app/profile/nsch...) and 2) encouraging people to post interesting stuff (measure: not sure how, except shower some people in likes ๐Ÿ™‚, but visibility also helps with that)

cool! I played with making regexp-based feeds & it works reasonably well for jobs & training courses, but broader content ones it's tricky, so this is interesting. increasing the visibility of OC here is good. ๐Ÿ™‚

I feel degree of separation to neurocommunity-accounts could be a useful feature too.

also, just a few more people for a OPM starter pack! (probably these starter packs are most interesting for more specialized methods.)

How dynamics arise from the structure is my biggest interest. In this study, we started with a small step and asked how structure constrains dynamics. Spoiler: would that it were so simpleโ€ฆ (1/6)

now all researchers associated with a label get added to a method starter pack. these are created automatically once a label reaches 10 people or so; updated in intervals; randomized order every time for democracy. ๐Ÿ’ซ

for example, ใ€ฐ๏ธMEG starter pack bsky.app/starter-pack...

there is a bit of a lag when creating the label descriptions. but I checked, now it should work!

strange... you are not in the list of people who liked the methods that I would expect you to. if you did, maybe unlike and re-like?

I feel these are more research topics, not neuro methods, no? possibly the related method would be motion tracking/pose estimation?

I think topics are outside of scope for now. ๐Ÿ™‚
