Our first preprint on combined non-invasive deep brain stimulation (temporal interference) and fMRI. TI opens so many possibilities for causal inference and clinical treatments biorxiv.org/content/10.110… with Priyamvada Modak Justin Fine PeterF Soterix Medical

New paper out today - our work on non-invasive deep brain stimulation with temporal interference methods. TI can safely cause fMRI BOLD activation in human orbitofrontal cortex, without stimulating the overlying cortex. doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.…

Excited to be attending #SFN24 starting tomorrow. I will also be giving a talk on Oct 7 (see below). Looking forward to exploring the latest in neuroscience and connecting with fellow researchers. Always happy to discuss my research or learn about yours - feel free to reach out!
