Thanks to Alaa Taha Tristan Kuehn Ali Khan et al, the afids release now uses DataLad @[email protected]. Don't often work at the command-line anymore but in a few min I could download the HCP News subset in BIDS-standard + view placements in 3D Slicer.🧠🎯🖥️#openscience

Looking forward to releasing a new episode with Joachim Krauss, Marwan Hariz and Christian Moll about history of functional neurosurgery, serendipity and more recorded today!

Announcing the AIMS Lab Western University! Anatomy. Informatics. Modulation. Surgery. 🧠🎯 Lab manager and graduate student/post doc postings coming soon. Feel free to DM me in advance if interested. @WesternUCNS @WesternU_NSx

This is the first episode produced by Alaa Taha Alaa Taha – who joined the Stimulating Brains team recently and is doing tremendous work behind the scenes (and you also get to hear him in the introduction part of the episode)! 👏🫶💪👍🚀

Very special episode with three of the world-wide functional neurosurgery history experts in a single episode! And first episode proudly produced by Alaa Taha who joined the Stimulating Brains team to help me with production 🙏!

Excited to announce that our afids work has been funded by a NSERC / CRSNG Discovery Grant!🧠🎯 @WesternUCNS @WesternU_NSx Schulich WesternU #openscience #stereotaxy

Nice kinesthetic neuron, here tuned to passive wrist position, identified during awake mapping.🧠🎯⚡️ Credit to neurophysiologist Greydon Gilmore, Ph.D. for the video (and excellent microelectrode recordings of course too). Best with audio on. #meded #DBS #neurosurgery #neurology

I had a fascinating conversation with Dr. Charles Jennings, who served as editor nature and founding editor in chief Nature Neuroscience about science publishing, the role of editors and about his current work – back in academia at the Ann Romney Center here at Brigham and Women's Neurology 👇👇

Voxel overlap is the most commonly used metric to assess correspondence in 🧠 imaging despite many limitations. We hope that this afids release, curated by Alaa Taha et al, will facilitate more accurate 📏 assessments (and more..)! 🎯#openscience nature.com/articles/s4159…

Big group from the AIMS lab attending #OHBM2023 in beautiful #Montreal! 🧠🎯 Looking forward to reconnecting with friends & colleagues working on brain mapping, and make new connections! And now a 🧵 on our OHBM abstracts! 1/

I was very inspired by the courageous and stimulating story of Jon Nelson, his bravery to speak openly about it and the *incredible* success of DBS for depression (in individual cases and in the hands of Helen Mayberg, MD & team at Mt. Sinai)! 👇👇👏👏

It was great joy to talk w/ Nico Dosenbach about the early rs-fMRI days w/ Michael Fox et al. @WUSTL, how Russ Poldrack’s #myconnectome led to the Midnight Scan Club, why you would choose to wear a pink cast for weeks, and how it feels to revise Penfield’s homunculus. stimulatingbrains.org/39-nico-dosenb…

Super excited that our dysfunctome paper is finally out at Nature Neuroscience! Certainly by far the most important work I have been involved in so far. Huge congratulations and kudos to Barbara Hollunder and Ningfei Li for seeing this through. Fantastic tweetorial by Barbara below 👇👇

Check out our latest #preprint investigating the millimetric impact of localization & registration accuracy on DBS electrode position in stereotactic space.🎯 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… Powered by: afids Lead-DBS #fMRIprep 3D Slicer BIDS-standard [1/9]

We had a fabulous time talking to Amaza Reitmeier, Vice President & General Manager of Brain Modulation at Medtronic about the role of industry for success of DBS, making a difference at scale, history & brain sensing! Tune in here 👇👇 stimulatingbrains.org/52-amaza-reitm…

Excited to be giving a talk on afids as part of #OHBM2024's #Neuroinformatics session (6/25 @ 12PM🇰🇷; GB 103) Come 👀 how we're: ➡️pooling 20K+ community curated 🧠 landmarks to 📏 registration accuracy 🎯 and for #QC ➡️creating resources/apps to simplify this process

So proud of Alaa Taha for representing the lab and afids team at #OHBM2024 in South Korea🇰🇷! 🧠🎯 Photo credit: Jason Kai & VioletLiu.

Such fun to talk with Harith Akram about connectomic DBS, brewing beer, building a supercomputer, how he became the most British person I know, brain lesions, averaging the moon numerous times & why photography ~= neuroimaging, sailing and mentorship: stimulatingbrains.org/56-harith-akra…

A unique breakthrough in technology has allowed patients like Mandy Dostie relief from life-long pain. Read how Dr. Jonathan Lau, a Neurosurgeon at LHSC, was able to perform this Canadian first and help patients like Mandy: lhsc.on.ca/news/you-saved…

It was an honor to be on the Stimulating Brains podcast with Andreas Horn to share both my career journey and the journey of Boston Scientific Deep Brain Stimulation Boston Scientific in Neuromodulation and Deep Brain Stimulation. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years with an incredible company, team and colleagues.
