Good morning from London! If you are (or know) a late-stage PhD student who is at the BGA meeting this week, and may be interested in a post-PhD research job in the music-language-hearing-aging-health space, I am hiring! Let's chat. #BGA2024

The influence of pulse waveform and current direction of TMS on test-retest reliability and variability of single pulse TMS protocols. #FENSForum2024 #MEXT #dtecbw

We spent hundreds of hours recording neural activity from sleep and arousal-related cell types in the deep brain, all while delivering variant focused ultrasound pulsing schemes to gain insight into one of the most daunting questions in the field: 'What are the parameters?'.

Theta-burst stim (TBS) is used to treat depression, but how does it work? I dug into this question in my research yr with Corey Keller Angelique C Paulk, now out in Nature Communications, finding that TBS can produce plasticity-like changes in just minutes of stim. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Major academic publishers' revenue and what they pay authors and reviewers: Revenue: Elsevier: $3.9 billion Springer Nature: $2 billion Taylor & Francis: $800M Wiley: $1.8 billion They pay: Academic authors: $0 Peer reviewers: $0

It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!

How about this: Eliminate the job "post-doc". After a PhD you are a "researcher", and no punishment for multiple stops. At any point (age blind) you can apply for starting grant funds. You apply for consolidator funds w/in 7 years of starting lab (unlinked to PhD date).

The #WNBA still only has 12 roster spots, especially given the intensity and number of games in a season. Expanding rosters should have been a serious discussion last season, and I hope it’s on the table moving forward. Sticking with just 12 spots is simply unacceptable.

We thank the reviewers for their helpful comments

The four basic kinds of scientific papers: 1. Noise (no claim and no evidence) 2. Resource (no claim but lots of data) 3. Conjecture (makes a claim, but no evidence) 4. Scientific advance (both makes a claim and presents evidence)

When did the taste of the scientific community changed from liking simple elegant experiments to preferring complicated and expensive experiments?

Interested in sharing your latest ideas in multimodal approaches to integrating brain stimulation and autonomic neuromodulation?. mdpi.com/journal/brains…

🚨 New Publication!! 🚨 In this article Desmond Agboada, Zhihe Zhao, and I discuss the mechanisms by which transcranial alternating current stimulation #tACS can result in effects that last beyond the duration of stimulation. #brain #neuroscience doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.…

Are you interested in meta-modeling of #BrainStimulation? Now, we’re sharing head models and code in Scientific Data: nature.com/articles/s4159… E.g., that's how we meta-analyzed tACS studies on memory recently (pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…). Together with Opitz Lab Miles Wischnewski - Psyched!
