Recruiting a motivated and creative postdoc interested in circuit neuroscience, inhibition, and epilepsy. The lab at Baylor College of Medicine uses in vivo multiphoton imaging and optogenetic approaches. Interested applicants message me or apply directly: jobs.bcm.edu/job/Houston-Po…

A bit of detective work in a large clinical TMS data set with DPhil student Karen Wendt and the Oxford Bioelectronics lab - What caused an apparent effect of time of day on the resting motor thresholds used to calibrate stimulation amplitude? authors.elsevier.com/c/1hnwC4xfebBa…

Cortical signatures of sleep are altered following effective deep brain stimulation for depression medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #medRxiv

A robust probabilistic sleep stage classifier that outperforms humans and can reveal new information about the transition points ('intermediate states') between the canonical sleep stages - Great work from Paul Brodersen and the Akerman and Vyazovskiy labs journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

Come work with us at the MRC BNDU, Oxford, University of Oxford! We are looking for a research assistant to help us characterise the role of the centromedian thalamus in sleep in a rodent model, to guide refinement of deep brain stimulation therapy for epilepsy. my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

I opened Fig .1 of the 2 most recent Nature Neuroscience articles in preparation for a class on figure making. I think Neuroscience might be developing a multipanel problem - the expectations re: information density in the big journals are getting out of hand...

Neat - this plane was flying so directly away from the sun that it was flying into the shadow cast by its own trail.

Sharing our recent work and vision for the future about sleep-aware DBS at the Brain conference in London #BrainConf2024

Join us at Old Fire Station, Oxford on April 17 for a transformative talk on brain-computer interfaces by Joram van Rheede. Discover how BCIs are tackling Parkinson's, epilepsy and chronic pain. Book your free spot: oldfirestation.org.uk/whats-on/spotl… #SpotlightIE #BCI #OxfordTalks

🧠 Curious about how neurons are wired in the human cortex? Our Science Magazine study tested over 7,000 connections and revealed key differences from rodents: "Directed and acyclic synaptic connectivity in the human layer 2-3 cortical microcircuit". 🧵👇science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

It is finally in print! Wow - can't believe it has already been 10+ years when some of the recordings were made... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Will be speaking at this event in London tomorrow - a few (free) tickets left! I am told there will be pizza. linkedin.com/posts/machine-…

Plus short talks from Engineering researchers on: 🤔Can a gas be used to reduce infection? 🤔How does sleep affect brain implants? 🤔Can we train a machine to learn like a human? 🤔How can oceans absorb carbon emissions?

Who's going to be in DC for the Brain Initiative conference next week? #BRAINConference #BRAINConference2024 #StudyBRAIN

Proud to be working with these fantastic clinical and engineering teams, and with pioneer Oran and his amazing family

My talk at Machine Medicine on deep brain stimulation and sleep (with a particular example from depression) is now up: youtube.com/watch?v=NDMlzq…

Now online - a 15 minute "TED-style" talk on sleep and deep brain stimulation I gave as part of the Engineering Science, Oxford Spotlight: Illuminating Engineering series youtube.com/watch?v=KNnl0v…
