Boosting b/c our virtual conference is tomorrow! Excited to see you all there. Look forward to concurrent tACS and spike recording from Angel Wei Huang (with amplitude-modulated opto) And novel findings on theta oscillations using glucose @amberleighmcf

My piece for Scientific American about pandemic fatigue. "it’s not just about exhaustion or tiredness or depleting a mental resource." It's about motivation for the tasks we do. scientificamerican.com/article/how-we… via Scientific American

I couldn't find an autocorrelation GIF I liked, so made my own! #Autocorrelation function (ACF) measures self-similarity of a signal by correlating it to itself + a time lag. As the lag increases, the correlation gets weaker. ACF can be used to approximate neural timescales.

Has anyone made this one yet?

New paper out in Progress in Neurobiology with @amberleighmcf & Flavio Frohlich PhD sciencedirect.com/science/articl… In this study, we set out to test whether different modes of cross-frequency coupling played a causal role in dimensions of cognitive control. 1/

My first review paper is out at Brain Research! We explore the new research that views neural oscillations as non-sinusoidal and burst-events and how to use tACS to test for their causal role in cognition. With Flavio Frohlich PhD sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

So grateful that you highlighted this! My whole cohort is full of super stars who made it through to the other side (!!), if only we had some way to recognize that as well. Thank you so much for your support, and can't wait to show off our pilot work at CNS soon 🤓🥳🎉

My FIRST ever first-author paper is now out as a preprint on medRxiv! Using spectral parameterization (@tomdonoghue), we have identified a potential neural mechanism behind ECT, one of the most efficacious treatments for depression. doi.org/10.1101/2022.0… A thread:
